The Dobinsons MRA 3-Way Adjustable Front Strut Kit suits the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and delivers a genuine 2" to 3" front lift with independently adjustable compression and rebound via a 3-position dial. Each strut is a monotube design pre-assembled with a matched coil spring, so ride height and damping are set together rather than guessed at during fitment. This setup suits tourers and tradies running bull bars, winches or driving lights who need extra front-end control without a full lift kit swap. Dispatched from Australian stock with Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Front spring rate should match the weight of accessories mounted ahead of the front axle, not just tyre size. Heavier steel bull bars, twin battery trays, winches and larger diesel bash plates all add constant front-end load that can settle a standard-rate spring below its designed ride height. Tell our team what's fitted up front and we'll help confirm whether the standard MRA spring rate suits your setup or if a firmer option is needed.
Fitment is a bolt-in strut swap best handled by an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident home mechanic with a spring compressor and strut-nut tooling. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation, since caster and camber shift once ride height changes. Allow a 500km settling period for the coil springs to seat before final ride height is assessed. Pair the struts with matched control arm upgrades to keep CV angles and steering geometry within factory specification at the higher ride height.
Dobinsons has been developing 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with local engineering and testing behind the MRA strut line rather than a generic overseas catalogue part. Every MRA strut carries Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is backed by our in-house fitment support if you're unsure about spring rate or ride height. Tourers and tradespeople running N70 Hilux utes commonly step up to this kit when factory struts have sagged or when front-end accessories need extra support — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear components.
This strut kit suits N70 Hilux owners who tour with roof top tents and drawer systems, tradies running front-mounted equipment, and anyone chasing adjustable damping rather than a fixed factory setup. If your rear end also needs load support for camper trailers or caravans, our airbag suspension range complements this front strut upgrade.
In stock in Australia and ready for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment before you order. Browse our full lift kit range to compare front and rear options for your N70 Hilux.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA strut kit is designed specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015, covering Workmate, SR and SR5 variants. It suits 2.7L VVTi and 4.0L V6 petrol models as well as the 3.0L D4D diesel. If you're unsure which chassis code your Hilux has, our team can confirm fitment from your rego or VIN before you order.
The MRA 3-way adjustable struts deliver between 2" and 3" of front lift, with the exact height depending on the damping setting selected and the weight of accessories fitted to the front of the vehicle. The pre-assembled coil spring and strut work together, so lift height is consistent rather than dependent on aftermarket spring swaps. Final ride height should be checked after the 500km settling period.
This kit includes two Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable front struts, each pre-assembled with a matched coil spring, upper spring seat, isolator and bump stop. Strut top mounting hardware is included for a bolt-in front-end fitment. Upper control arms and rear suspension components are sold separately, since this is a front strut kit only.
This is a front strut kit, so it addresses front-end ride height and damping rather than rear towball load. It's a good match for Hilux N70 owners towing with a heavier front-mounted bull bar or winch, since the adjustable damping compensates for that added weight. For rear-end towing support, pair it with a suitable leaf spring or rear shock upgrade from our range.
At 2" to 3" of front lift, many N70 Hilux owners upgrade their upper control arms to restore correct CV joint and steering geometry. Standard control arms can work at the lower end of the lift range but may limit alignment adjustment at 3". Our team can advise based on your exact ride height target and driving use.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these struts. Changing front ride height alters caster and camber angles, and skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and inconsistent steering feel. We recommend aligning the vehicle after the 500km settling period once the coil springs have fully seated.
The coil springs are pre-assembled to the MRA struts to suit typical N70 Hilux front-end loads including bull bars and winches. If you're running unusually heavy front accessories, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm whether the standard spring rate will hold your target ride height.
A 2" to 3" front lift typically creates clearance for a moderate tyre size increase on the N70 Hilux, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width and whether rear lift is matched to the front. We recommend checking your intended tyre size with our team, especially if you're running the full 3" setting.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. As an Australian-based retailer, we also provide fitment support before and after purchase if you have questions about installation or ride height. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
Yes, the 3-way adjuster lets you select a softer setting for daily driving and highway use, then firm the damping up for loaded touring or off-road tracks. Many N70 Hilux owners run these struts as their daily setup and adjust only when heading off-road or carrying extra front-end weight.
