Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and shock absorber life. When selecting your front and rear spring rates, calculate only your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle including bullbar, winch, roof racks, drawers, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, and rear bar with spare wheel. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, and towing are not considered constant load. Selecting unnecessarily heavy spring rates will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear or damage to other suspension components. If you regularly tow or carry significant cargo, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support without compromising unladen ride quality.
Professional installation by a qualified suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and initial shock adjustment settings. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore factory geometry and prevent uneven tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shock seals to bed in before making final damping adjustments. For Fortuner owners planning significant touring or load carrying, we recommend upgrading to heavy-duty control arms to complement this lift kit and maintain optimal suspension geometry under articulation.
Dobinsons has been engineering 4WD suspension solutions in Australia for over 60 years, with a reputation built on outback testing, competitive off-road racing success, and real-world durability. Every Dobinsons component is subjected to rigorous Australian condition testing — from the Simpson Desert to Cape York — ensuring reliability when you're hundreds of kilometres from help. Trusted by grey nomads, remote station workers, and serious tourers nationwide, Dobinsons backs this kit with comprehensive warranty and expert technical support.

This kit is ideal for Toyota Fortuner owners who demand the ultimate in suspension adjustability — from daily commuting and highway touring to weekend off-road adventures and caravan towing. The 3-way damping adjustment makes it perfect for drivers who regularly transition between unladen city driving and fully-loaded remote touring. If you frequently tow caravans or camper trailers, consider pairing this lift with airbag suspension for maximum load-carrying capability and rear-end stability without sacrificing ride comfort when travelling solo.

This Dobinsons MRA Adjustable 2" lift kit is specifically engineered to fit Toyota Fortuner GUN156R and GUN166R series from 2015 to current model year, covering all 2.8L diesel variants. The kit includes vehicle-specific front and rear shock absorbers and coil springs designed to match the Fortuner's weight distribution and suspension geometry. To confirm exact fitment for your particular model year and variant, use our online parts finder tool or contact our suspension specialists who can verify compatibility based on your VIN or build date.
This Dobinsons MRA kit delivers a genuine 2 inch (50mm) lift over factory ride height on the Toyota Fortuner, measured at both front and rear axles when installed with appropriate spring rates for your vehicle's accessory load. Actual lift height may vary slightly depending on your constant accessory weight — heavier front-end setups with bullbars and winches may see marginally less lift, while lighter configurations may achieve slightly more. The adjustable shock absorbers allow fine-tuning of ride height within the kit's design range, and the 500km settling period should be completed before final measurements are taken.
This complete Dobinsons MRA lift kit includes 2 x MRA Adjustable front shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2 x tuned front coil springs, 2 x MRA Adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, and 2 x tuned rear coil springs, plus all necessary shock mounting hardware and reservoir brackets. You'll also receive comprehensive installation instructions and a damping adjustment guide to help you optimize your suspension settings. Spring rates are selected at checkout based on your constant accessory load to ensure optimal ride quality and performance. Additional components such as extended brake lines, upper control arms, or diff drop spacers are sold separately if required for your specific Fortuner setup.
Yes, the Dobinsons MRA Adjustable lift kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to its 3-way damping adjustment that allows you to firm up compression settings for improved stability and control under tow. The increased oil capacity and remote reservoir design resist shock fade during extended highway towing, maintaining consistent damping performance. However, for regular heavy towing (caravans over 2000kg), we strongly recommend pairing this lift kit with supplementary airbag suspension in the rear to provide on-demand load support, maintain level ride height, and reduce rear-end sag without compromising unladen ride comfort. Contact our team for a complete towing suspension package tailored to your trailer weight.
While upgraded control arms are not mandatory for a 2 inch lift on the Toyota Fortuner, they are highly recommended for owners planning serious off-road touring or those who regularly operate at full suspension articulation. Factory control arms will function with this lift height, but aftermarket heavy-duty control arms offer improved suspension geometry, increased clearance, adjustable caster correction, and superior durability under extreme conditions. If you're planning to add a bullbar, winch, and long-range touring accessories, upgraded control arms are a worthwhile investment to maximize the benefits of your Dobinsons MRA lift kit. Our suspension specialists can recommend the best control arm options for your specific Fortuner build and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Toyota Fortuner to restore correct suspension geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. The installation process involves removing and replacing major suspension components which will alter your vehicle's camber, caster, and toe settings from factory specifications. Professional alignment ensures your Fortuner tracks straight, handles predictably, and delivers even tyre wear across all four corners. We recommend alignment be performed by a specialist familiar with lifted 4WDs who can adjust settings within Dobinsons' recommended specifications for optimal on-road handling and off-road performance.
Spring rate selection is based solely on your constant accessory load — the combined weight of accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle such as bullbar, winch, roof racks, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range tanks, and rear bar with spare wheel carrier. Weigh or calculate the front and rear accessory loads separately, then select the spring rate at checkout that matches your constant load range. Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight in your calculation, as this will result in overly stiff springs and harsh ride quality. If you're unsure about your accessory weights, our suspension team can help you calculate the correct spring rates for your specific Fortuner setup.
A 2 inch lift on the Toyota Fortuner typically allows fitment of tyres up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (approximately 31-32 inches diameter) without modifications, depending on wheel offset and specific tyre brand. Some mild trimming of plastic inner guards may be required for full articulation clearance with larger aggressive tread patterns. For owners wanting to run 33 inch tyres or larger, additional modifications such as guard trimming, body mount chops, or aftermarket guards may be necessary. Tyre clearance also depends on wheel offset — running factory or near-factory offset wheels provides maximum clearance, while aggressive negative offsets may cause rubbing. Contact us for specific tyre recommendations based on your wheel choice and intended use.
This Dobinsons MRA Adjustable lift kit is backed by Dobinsons' comprehensive Australian manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind for your investment. Warranty duration and specific terms vary by component — shock absorbers and springs each carry their own coverage periods. Full warranty details are included with your kit and registration can be completed online after installation. To maintain warranty validity, professional installation is required with proof of service, and a 500km inspection should be completed to check torque settings and component seating. Dobinsons has a strong reputation for honoring warranty claims and supporting customers throughout the product lifecycle.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA Adjustable lift kit is engineered to deliver excellent daily driving comfort while providing serious off-road capability when needed. The 3-way damping adjustment allows you to dial in a softer, more compliant ride for highway cruising and urban commuting, then firm up compression and rebound settings for off-road adventures or towing on weekends. Many Fortuner owners run this kit as their permanent setup, enjoying improved ride quality over factory suspension thanks to the premium monotube design and reduced operating friction. The kit maintains stable highway manners at speed, reduces body roll in corners, and delivers predictable braking performance — making it ideal for owners who split time between sealed roads and remote tracks.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Travel
After 8,000km through the Simpson, Canning Stock Route, and Cape York, this Dobinsons lift kit has completely transformed my Fortuner's capability on corrugations and rocky terrain. The adjustable damping is a game-changer – I run it soft for washboard desert tracks and firm it up when loaded with long-range fuel and recovery gear. Build quality is exceptional and the monotube design hasn't missed a beat despite constant punishment in 40+ degree heat and bulldust that gets into everything.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our family adventures
Finally upgraded to the Dobinsons MRA lift kit after months of research and couldn't be happier with the decision. The adjustable damping is brilliant – ran it softer for the highway drive down to Wilson's Prom with the kids, then firmed it up for the tracks and it handled beautifully even with the rooftop tent and all our camping gear loaded up. Ride quality is miles ahead of the stock setup, and the missus even commented on how much smoother it felt over corrugations. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
Massive improvement for our Fortuner setup
Had the Dobinsons MRA adjustable lift kit fitted to our Fortuner last month and the difference is night and day. The 3-way damping adjustment is brilliant - can soften it up for the daily commute then dial it in firm for Cape York runs with the van on the back. Fitment was spot on and the remote reservoir setup handles the corrugations way better than the factory shocks ever did.(5)
