Selecting the correct coil spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and suspension performance. You must calculate your constant accessory load — the combined weight of all permanently installed accessories and equipment that your vehicle carries at all times. Do not factor in occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, towing, or cargo that varies trip-to-trip, as this will result in selecting springs that are too heavy, causing harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
Common Front Constant Loads: Steel bull bar (30-60kg), winch (30-40kg), driving lights (2-5kg), heavy-duty battery (5-15kg), aftermarket intercooler (10-15kg), steel bash plates (15-25kg), air compressor (5-10kg).
Common Rear Constant Loads: Aluminium or steel canopy/hard lid (50-100kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual battery system (15-25kg), long-range fuel tank (empty weight 20-40kg), rear bar (20-40kg), spare wheel carrier upgrade (10-20kg), water tank (empty 10-20kg).
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended due to the technical nature of coil spring compression, shock absorber mounting, and precise damping adjustment setup. Installation typically requires 4-6 hours depending on workshop experience and equipment availability. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings, preventing uneven tyre wear and maintaining safe handling characteristics. A 500-kilometer break-in period is essential to allow springs to settle and dampers to bed in before making final damping adjustments.
For vehicles with significant lift or heavy accessory loads, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore proper suspension geometry, improve CV joint angles, and enhance steering response and stability at highway speeds.

This Dobinsons MRA kit delivers between 2-3 inches (50-75mm) of lift height depending on your constant accessory load and selected spring rates. Vehicles with heavier front-end accessories (bull bar, winch, heavy-duty battery) will typically achieve lift closer to the 2-inch mark, while lighter setups may reach the full 3-inch potential. The final settled height stabilizes after the recommended 500km break-in period. This lift range is ideal for fitting 32-33 inch tyres without rubbing while maintaining excellent ride quality and factory-like handling characteristics for daily driving and highway touring.
This comprehensive kit includes four Dobinsons MRA monotube remote reservoir shock absorbers (two front, two rear) with 3-way adjustable damping, four heavy-duty raised coil springs with multiple load ratings available, all necessary mounting hardware and bushings, damping adjustment tools, and detailed installation instructions. Spring rates are customized to your specified constant accessory load during ordering. Please note that supplementary components such as upper control arms, brake line extensions, differential drop kits, or extended sway bar links are sold separately and may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and lift height achieved.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is exceptionally well-suited for towing applications thanks to the 3-way adjustable damping system that allows you to increase compression damping for improved load control and reduced rear squat under tow ball weight. The remote reservoir design maintains consistent damping performance even during sustained highway towing or challenging terrain with heavy trailers. For optimal towing performance, select rear spring rates appropriate to your constant rear load, and consider supplementing with airbag suspension for variable load leveling and additional support when towing near maximum capacity. The adjustable rebound damping helps control trailer sway and maintains vehicle stability at highway speeds.
While this 2-3 inch lift kit will function with factory control arms, upgrading to heavy-duty aftermarket control arms is highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry, improved CV joint angles, and enhanced steering response. Aftermarket upper control arms with extended ball joints help restore camber angles that shift with lift height, reducing tyre wear and improving handling precision. Lower control arms with upgraded bushings and reinforced construction reduce deflection under load and increase durability. For the best overall performance and longest component life, particularly if running larger tyres or carrying heavy loads, budget for control arm upgrades as part of your complete suspension build.
Yes, a comprehensive four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons MRA system. Lifting your vehicle alters critical suspension geometry including camber, caster, and toe angles, which directly affect tyre wear patterns, steering response, and vehicle stability. A qualified suspension or alignment specialist should perform the alignment using manufacturer specifications adjusted for lift height, ensuring all angles fall within acceptable ranges. Failure to perform proper alignment after installation will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potentially unsafe driving dynamics. Budget $150-250 for professional alignment services as part of your installation costs.
Yes, this kit offers multiple spring rate options for both front and rear to perfectly match your specific constant accessory load configuration. During ordering, you must accurately calculate the combined weight of all permanently installed accessories (bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, etc.) and select the appropriate spring rate for front and rear independently. It's critical to be honest about your constant load — selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will result in harsh ride quality and potential component damage. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing weight should not be factored into spring selection. Contact our technical team for personalized spring rate recommendations based on your specific setup.
With this 2-3 inch Dobinsons MRA lift kit installed on your Navara NP300, you can typically fit tyres up to 32-33 inches in diameter (285/70R17 or 265/70R18 equivalents) without modifications, depending on wheel offset and tyre width. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guard liners may be required for 33-inch tyres, particularly at full lock or during compression travel off-road. For aggressive tyre sizes or wider rubber, additional modifications such as guard rolling or aftermarket flares may be necessary. Always test fit and check for clearance at full steering lock and full suspension compression before committing to final tyre choice, and remember that larger/heavier tyres may require re-evaluation of spring rates and adjustment of damping settings.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit is backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Dobinsons shock absorbers typically carry a 2-year unlimited kilometer warranty, while coil springs are covered against sagging and breakage. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician, proper vehicle alignment post-installation, and use within the product's designed load and application parameters. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and inspection by an authorized Dobinsons dealer or distributor. For complete warranty terms, conditions, and claim procedures, contact 4WD Suspension Australia or refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit.
Absolutely — despite its race-proven heritage, the Dobinsons MRA kit delivers exceptional daily driving comfort and highway manners thanks to the sophisticated 3-way adjustable damping system. You can dial in softer compression and rebound settings for unladen highway cruising, achieving ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory suspension while still providing the control and capability for serious off-road work. The monotube remote reservoir design runs cooler and more consistently than twin-tube shocks, maintaining excellent damping performance during extended highway drives including corrugated dirt access roads. Simply adjust damping settings to suit your driving conditions — soft for daily comfort, firm for loaded touring or spirited off-road driving.
Best upgrade I've made to the Navara
Had these Dobinsons adjustable shocks fitted to my NP300 work truck about six months ago and they've been an absolute game changer. Daily drives to site are way more comfortable than the old setup, and the 3-way adjustment means I can dial them up when I'm loaded with tools or heading out to the bush on weekends. The lift gives me the clearance I need without making it feel floaty on the highway, which was my main concern.(5)
Outstanding Performance on Remote Cape York Tracks
Been running this Dobinsons MRA adjustable kit on my NP300 for eight months now, covering some seriously rough corrugated tracks through the Gulf and up to the Cape. The 3-way adjustability is a game-changer - firm it up for washboard country roads and soften it off for rocky creek crossings. Had it loaded up with water, recovery gear and a rooftop tent, and the damping still kept everything composed even at speed on the brutal Frenchmans track.(5)
Perfect for Loaded Family Trips Up North
Been running this Dobinsons adjustable lift kit for six months now, taking the Navara from Brisbane up to Cape York and everywhere in between with the family. The 3-way adjustment is brilliant – I keep it on the softer setting around town, then firm it up when we're loaded with camping gear and the kids' bikes on the roof. Ride quality is leagues ahead of the stock setup, especially on corrugated tracks where the old suspension had us all bouncing around. Well worth the investment if you're serious about family touring.(5)
Best Upgrade for My Work Rig
Had these Dobinsons adjustables fitted to my NP300 about six months back and they've completely transformed how the truck handles loaded up with tools and materials during the week. The ride quality is miles better than stock, especially on corrugated dirt roads heading to remote job sites, and being able to dial in the settings means I can soften them up for the weekend camping trips. Worth every cent if you're serious about your setup.(5)
Transformed My NP300 for Outback Touring
Been running this Dobinsons MRA kit on my NP300 for six months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's toughest sections. The 3-way adjustability is a genuine game-changer – I can soften it up for corrugations and firm it back for loaded touring without compromise. Build quality is absolutely solid and the ride comfort loaded with gear is leagues ahead of what I had before.(5)
