These struts use a fixed-rate front spring within an adjustable-height perch, so selection is less about rate and more about setting the correct preload for your accessory load. Vehicles running a steel bull bar, winch and driving light bar sit heavier over the front axle and benefit from the strut adjusted toward the top of its range. A lighter aluminium bar or no bar at all means less preload is needed to hold the same 2" lift.
Fitment is a strut-swap job best handled by an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or workshop, given the strut top mount and lower ball joint connections on the N70 front end. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber and caster back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period before final alignment for the components to settle. Consider pairing these struts with upgraded control arms to correct CV angles and restore suspension travel at the 2" height.
Dobinsons has been building 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with the MRA range engineered around local road and track conditions rather than adapted from overseas specs. Every strut is backed by a manufacturer warranty and genuine parts support, and the brand is used regularly by tourers and tradespeople running heavy accessory loads. You can view the full Dobinsons range to match these struts with rear springs, shocks or steering components.
These struts suit Hilux N70 owners fitting bull bars, winches or driving lights who need the front end to sit level rather than sagging under the extra weight. Tradespeople carrying tool boxes and service bodies, and tourers running roof racks and camping gear, are the main users of this setup. Vehicles carrying constant heavy rear loads such as canopies or caravans may also want to look at airbag suspension for the rear axle.
These struts are in stock in Australia now for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment before you order. Browse our full lift kit range if you're building a complete front and rear suspension package for your Hilux N70.

Yes, these Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts are built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015, covering KUN16, KUN26, GGN15, GGN25 and TGN16 chassis codes. They are not a universal strut — fitment is engineered around this platform's front strut mounts and steering geometry. If you're unsure which chassis code your Hilux is, check your compliance plate or contact our team before ordering.
This strut provides a 2" front lift over standard ride height on the Hilux N70. The spring seat is height-adjustable so you can fine-tune that lift slightly up or down to level the vehicle once accessories like a bull bar or winch are fitted. Rear ride height is not affected — you'll need a matching leaf spring or shock upgrade out back if you want a level stance.
You get two Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts complete with monotube damping and a fitted height-adjustable spring seat, plus fitting instructions and torque specs. Rear leaf springs, rear shocks and upper control arms are not included and are sold separately. This listing covers the front axle only.
These front struts help hold correct ride height and steering geometry when a bull bar, winch or driving lights add weight over the front axle, which is common on tow rigs. They don't change rear payload capacity for towing — for that you'll want to look at rear leaf springs or airbag suspension matched to your tow ball weight. Speak with our team about a complete front and rear package if you're towing regularly.
At a 2" lift on the N70, factory upper control arms can run out of upward travel and place CV joints and ball joints at a sharper working angle. We recommend pairing these struts with upgraded control arms to restore correct geometry and full suspension travel. It's not mandatory for a 2" lift but it is the better long-term setup.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing these struts. Changing front ride height alters camber and caster, and an incorrect alignment will cause uneven tyre wear and affect steering feel. We recommend a 500km bed-in period before the final alignment so all components settle into position.
These struts use a fixed-rate coil spring within the adjustable-height strut body, so you're adjusting preload and ride height rather than swapping spring rates. If you're carrying a particularly heavy front-end accessory load, our team can advise on the correct adjustment setting for your build. For rear spring rate options, check our leaf spring range.
A 2" front lift typically creates extra clearance for a larger tyre diameter on the Hilux N70, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether flares or trimming are needed. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team so we can advise on any additional clearance work required. Rear lift height should also be matched to keep the vehicle level with larger tyres front and rear.
These struts are covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Genuine Dobinsons parts and seals are available locally if servicing is ever needed. Our team can confirm current warranty terms and help with any warranty claim if required.
Yes. The MRA monotube design is valved to keep a comfortable, controlled ride for daily commuting and highway driving, not just off-road work. Many N70 owners run this strut as their everyday setup while also carrying bull bars, winches and touring gear. It's a genuine dual-purpose front strut rather than a track-only or trail-only product.
