The Dobinsons MRA 3-Way Adjustable Front Struts suit the Toyota Hilux N80 (2015-ON) and deliver a 2" to 3" front lift from a monotube strut with an external 3-position damping dial, adjustable without removing the strut from the vehicle. Each strut arrives pre-assembled with matched Dobinsons coil springs, cutting fitment time and removing the need for separate spring compression. Run them alongside our coil spring range for rear-end matching, or check all suspension parts for the Hilux N80 before you order. Backed by manufacturer warranty, dispatched from Australian stock with fitment support from our team.

These struts arrive pre-assembled with Dobinsons coil springs matched to the standard front-end load of the N80 Hilux, so spring rate selection mainly comes down to how much weight sits over the front axle. Common front-end accessories that add constant load include steel bull bars, front-mounted winches, driving light bars and second batteries in the engine bay. Front-end loads outside the standard fitment, such as a dual battery tray plus a long-range fuel tank, may need a firmer spring option, so talk to our team before ordering so the correct rate ships with your struts.
Fitment is a bolt-in strut swap best handled by an experienced 4WD workshop or a competent DIY installer with a spring compressor and standard hand tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting, as the 2" to 3" lift changes front camber and caster from factory settings. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the damping to settle before making further adjustments to the 3-way dial. If you're lifting the front by 3", pair these struts with upgraded control arms to correct CV angles and restore proper front geometry.
Dobinsons has been designing and manufacturing 4WD suspension in Australia for local conditions, not just adapting a global product for our roads. The MRA range is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is a regular fitment on Hilux N80s used for touring, towing and trade work. You can view the full Dobinsons range we stock for the N80 and other popular 4WD platforms.
This strut suits Hilux N80 owners who need a 2" to 3" front lift for tyre clearance and front-end accessories, including tradies running a bull bar and toolboxes, and tourers fitting driving lights, a winch and roof-top gear. If you're carrying a heavier constant load such as a canopy or caravan tow ball weight, also look at airbag suspension to support the rear end.
These struts are in stock in Australia and ready to dispatch, backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment guidance from our suspension team. Browse our full lift kit range to find matching rear components for your Hilux N80.

Yes — these struts are designed specifically for the Toyota Hilux N80 built from 2015 onward, covering the 2.4L and 2.8L turbo diesel and 2.7L petrol variants. It's a direct bolt-in front strut replacement using factory mounting points, no cutting or drilling required. If you're unsure of your exact build date or engine, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the N80, or contact our team.
These struts give a 2" to 3" front lift over standard ride height, with the pre-assembled Dobinsons coil spring set to the height ordered. The exact lift achieved depends on constant front-end load — a bull bar and winch will settle the ride height slightly lower than an unladen ute. Let us know your accessory setup and we can help confirm the right height for your Hilux N80.
This kit includes two Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable front struts, each pre-assembled with a matched Dobinsons coil spring, top mount, dust boot and bump stop, plus fitting instructions. Rear shocks, leaf springs and control arms are not included and are sold separately. This listing covers the front axle only.
Yes, front struts support the front axle load and these are commonly fitted on Hilux N80s used for touring and towing where a bull bar, winch and driving lights add weight to the front end. The 3-way damping dial lets you firm up the front for a loaded highway tow, then back off for unladen driving. For tow ball weight at the rear, pair this with Dobinsons rear leaf springs or coil springs from our range.
At a 3" front lift we recommend upgraded control arms to restore correct CV joint angles and camber/caster geometry that a taller strut changes from factory. At a 2" lift some owners run factory arms, but alignment figures should still be checked against Toyota specification. Talk to our team about N80-specific control arm options if you're going to the full 3".
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these struts. The lift changes front camber and caster from factory settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after installation and again after the 500km bedding-in period.
The coil springs supplied are matched to standard-to-moderate front-end accessory loads for the N80. If you're running a heavier bull bar and winch combination, or unusual front-end accessories like a long-range fuel tank near the front axle, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm or adjust the spring rate supplied with your struts.
A 2" to 3" front lift on the N80 typically clears larger diameter tyres than what fits under the factory guards, though exact clearance depends on tyre width, offset and whether flares are fitted. Confirm your intended tyre size with our team so we can advise on the lift height and check for any rubbing at full steering lock.
These struts are covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. As an Australian-based stockist, we handle warranty claims locally rather than you having to deal directly with an overseas supplier. Keep your invoice and contact our team if an issue arises.
Yes, the 3-way adjustable dial lets you select a softer setting for daily commuting and around-town driving, then switch to a firmer setting when loaded for touring or towing. Many Hilux N80 owners run these struts as their only daily driver while still carrying trade or touring gear. The monotube design keeps ride quality composed on standard road surfaces once you find the setting that suits your typical load.
