The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable 2" Lift Kit fits the Isuzu MU-X 2013-on and combines 50mm bore monotube remote-reservoir shocks with 3-way external damping adjustment — high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound — front and rear. Matched coil springs are available in multiple load ratings so you can set correct ride height whether the MU-X is bare or loaded with touring gear.

Choose your front spring rate based on the weight of any bull bar, winch and bash plates fitted, and your rear spring rate based on constant load such as a canopy, drawer system, long-range fuel tank, dual battery tray or fridge. Running a rate that's too light lets the MU-X sag under load and reduces available wheel travel; too heavy a rate and unloaded ride quality suffers on corrugations. Our team can help match a front and rear rate to your actual fitted accessories and typical touring load before you order.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or workshop, as reservoir mounting and damping calibration benefit from correct setup. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber, caster and toe back within specification at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the coil springs to settle before fine-tuning the damping adjusters. Many MU-X owners fit this kit alongside upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and restore wheel travel at 2" of lift.
Dobinsons has manufactured 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, and the MRA shock platform is built on that local remote-reservoir shock development. This kit carries Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is used by tourers and trades running MU-X-based vehicles for work and travel. You can view the full Dobinsons range for other MU-X-compatible components including leaf springs, control arms and steering dampers.
This kit suits MU-X owners who tow regularly, tourers running a loaded canopy or camper trailer, and trades needing consistent ride height with tools and equipment on board. The external damping adjustment means one kit covers a bare commute and a fully loaded trip without swapping shocks. For owners carrying variable rear loads, adding airbag suspension gives on-demand support without affecting the unloaded ride.

This Dobinsons MRA kit is designed specifically for the Isuzu MU-X 2013-on across all series, front and rear. It uses vehicle-specific mounting points and matched coil springs, so no cutting or modification is required for correct fitment. If you're unsure of your build date or series, our team can confirm fitment before you order. Check our parts finder or contact us with your rego or build plate details.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear on the Isuzu MU-X, achieved through the matched coil springs combined with the MRA shock length. Actual ride height also depends on the spring load rating selected and any fitted accessories. Our team can confirm expected height for your specific configuration before you order.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Dobinsons MRA adjustable shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, plus matched front and rear coil springs in your selected load rating. Mounting hardware for the shocks and reservoirs is included. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are available separately if needed.
Yes. The 3-way damping adjustment lets you increase low-speed compression to reduce rear squat and body roll under tow-ball load. Rear coil springs can also be specified at a higher load rating to suit a loaded caravan or box trailer. For MU-X owners with variable towing loads, airbag suspension can be added for extra support when hitched up.
Not necessarily, but many MU-X owners fitting a 2" lift add upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and restore wheel travel. Whether it's needed depends on your intended use — highway touring versus technical off-road work. Our team can advise based on your MU-X's series and how you use it.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber, caster and toe angles, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
Yes. Dobinsons offers this coil spring in multiple load ratings for both front and rear, so you can match the spring rate to a bare MU-X or one running a bull bar, canopy and touring gear. Selecting the correct rate keeps ride height and handling correct under your actual accessory load. Contact our team with your accessory list for a spring rate recommendation.
A 2" lift on the MU-X typically creates clearance for a larger tyre than standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, width and any body modifications. We recommend confirming your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchase. Correct alignment and, in some cases, control arm upgrades support running larger tyres without rubbing.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, provided directly through 4WD Suspension Australia as an authorised Dobinsons stockist. Warranty covers manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs under normal use. Contact our team for specific warranty terms and claims support.
Yes. The 3-way damping adjustment lets you set a softer, more compliant tune for daily commuting and firm it up for towing or off-road trips. Many MU-X owners run this kit as a daily driver that converts to a loaded tourer on weekends. The remote reservoir design also keeps damping consistent rather than fading on longer trips.
