The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts for Toyota Prado 90/95 Series (1996-2003) 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 MRA59-A222 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.
The 90/95 Series was the first coil-sprung IFS Prado sold in Australia, so these struts bolt in place of the factory front strut assemblies with no torsion bar or cross-member work. Select your front accessory load from the Coil Spring Options above and the struts are assembled with the matching Dobinsons spring before dispatch. Matching rear shocks and coils for the 90/95 Series are listed separately so you can build a full 2" kit.

This kit is built for the Toyota Prado 90/95 Series sold in Australia from 1996 to 2003, covering KZJ90/95, VZJ90/95, RZJ90/95 and LJ90/95 chassis codes. It suits the 1KZ-TE 3.0L turbo diesel, 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6 petrol and 3RZ-FE 2.7L petrol variants. If you're unsure of your exact build date or chassis code, check your compliance plate or contact our fitment team, who can confirm compatibility against your rego or VIN before you order.
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 (MRA59-A222) 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 coil upgrade or an airbag suspension kit for full towing support. Our team can help match front and rear components for your towing setup.
Upgraded control arms are less common on the 90 Series than on later Prados, but at a 2" front lift it is still worth having the CV joint and caster angles checked at the first alignment. Our team can advise whether your specific Prado and driving use needs any geometry correction.
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 front coil springs for the Prado 90/95 Series in rates matched to typical accessory loads, from no accessories up to a steel bullbar and winch. Choose your front accessory load from the options above and we assemble the struts with the matching spring. If your front-end load is unusual, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the right coil is paired with your strut.
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.
