The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts for Toyota Prado 150 Series (2009-2023) use a 50mm monotube remote reservoir bore with 3-way external adjustment for compression and rebound, giving you real control over ride quality rather than a fixed factory setting. Each strut arrives pre-assembled with Dobinsons coil springs set for a 2" lift, so there's no separate spring-fitting step at install. This lift kit suits Prado owners running bullbars, winches and roof racks who need adjustable damping to match the added front weight. In stock in Australia now, backed by manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team, with full compatibility details on our Prado parts finder.

Choose your front spring rate based on the constant weight sitting over the front axle — a steel bullbar, winch and driving lights add up quickly. If your Prado carries a bullbar and winch permanently, tell our team so we can confirm the coil rate matches that load and keeps ride height correct. Common front accessories affecting spring selection include bullbars, winches, dual battery trays mounted forward, and bash plates.
Fitment requires strut removal and disconnection of the sway bar link and brake line bracket, so we recommend an experienced 4WD workshop or a suspension specialist handle installation rather than a basic home garage job. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber and caster back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the coil springs to settle before final ride height is assessed. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front CV angles and extend joint life at 2" of lift.
Dobinsons is an Australian-owned suspension manufacturer that designs and tests its MRA range on local roads and tracks rather than relying solely on overseas data. Every strut carries a manufacturer warranty and is supported by our in-house fitment team for Prado-specific setup questions. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers running 150 Series Prados commonly choose Dobinsons for its remote reservoir shocks and matched coil springs — view the full Dobinsons range for rear shocks and matching components.
This kit suits Prado 150 owners who've added a bullbar, winch or driving lights and need adjustable damping to keep the front end settled under that extra weight. It's also a fit for tourers who want to firm up compression for corrugations without a permanent harsh ride around town. If you're carrying constant rear payload for camping or towing, look at airbag suspension to complement the front-end upgrade.

This kit is built for the Toyota Prado 150 Series from 2009 through to 2023, covering 3.0L D4D, 2.8L GD and 4.0L V6 variants. Because the 150 Series had running changes over that period, we recommend confirming your build date and any factory options like KDSS before ordering. Our fitment team can check compatibility against your rego or VIN. Contact us via the FAQ page or the contact form if you're unsure.
This front strut kit provides a 2" lift, achieved through Dobinsons coil springs pre-assembled onto each strut. It's a front-only kit, so rear ride height stays at factory unless you fit matching rear springs and shocks separately. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and accessory weight. Our team can advise on rear options to keep the Prado level front to rear.
You get two Dobinsons MRA Adjustable front struts with a 50mm monotube remote reservoir bore, pre-assembled with Dobinsons coil springs rated for a 2" lift. Each strut includes its own 3-way external damping adjuster and remote reservoir mounting hardware. Top mount nuts and fitting instructions are included. Rear shocks, rear springs and control arms are not part of this kit and are sold separately.
The adjustable damping helps manage the front-end weight shift that comes with towing, particularly under braking. This is a front strut kit, so it doesn't add rear load capacity for towball weight — pair it with a rated rear leaf or coil upgrade, or an airbag suspension kit, for full towing support. Our team can help match front and rear components for your towing setup.
At a 2" front lift, CV joint angles and caster change enough that many owners choose to fit upgraded control arms to bring geometry back within factory range. It's not compulsory for every vehicle, but it's worth checking after the first alignment. Ask our team to review your specific Prado and driving use before deciding.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing these struts. The 2" lift changes camber and caster, and an alignment shop needs to reset these to factory-spec tolerances. Skipping this step causes uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment, once the 500km bedding-in period has settled the springs.
Dobinsons offers this MRA strut in coil rates matched to typical accessory loads like bullbars and winches. If your front-end accessory load is heavier or lighter than standard, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the right coil spring is paired with your strut. Getting the rate right keeps ride height and damping performance correct.
A 2" front lift typically creates enough clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and any rear lift fitted. We suggest confirming tyre and wheel combinations with our team before purchase, particularly if you're also running larger rear tyres. Rubbing at full lock or full compression is the main thing to check.
These Dobinsons MRA struts carry the manufacturer's standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship. If an issue arises, our team handles the warranty claim process on your behalf as the Australian supplier. Keep your invoice and fitment date on file, as this is required for any warranty assessment.
Yes. The 3-way external adjustment lets you back off compression and rebound for a softer, more compliant setting around town, then firm it up for weekend touring or corrugations. Many Prado owners run this kit as their daily setup and adjust it before a trip. It doesn't require any special driving technique or ongoing maintenance beyond normal service intervals.
