Choosing the correct front and rear coil spring rates is critical to achieving the intended 50mm lift height and optimal shock absorber performance. You must select spring rates based on your current constant accessory load only — this means permanent accessories fitted to your vehicle that are always present during normal driving. Common constant loads include aftermarket bullbars, steel or aluminium winches, long-range auxiliary fuel tanks, drawer systems, dual battery setups, roof racks with permanent mounting systems, UHF aerials, and rear bar replacements. Do not factor in occasional loads such as camping gear, fridges, swags, recovery gear, passengers, or towing — these are variable loads that should not influence your base spring rate selection. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in a harsh, jarring ride quality and may cause premature wear or damage to other suspension components including bushes and chassis mounts.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this kit due to the complexity of coil spring replacement, shock absorber mounting, and the critical need for correct spring seat alignment and torque specifications. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after installation to ensure correct castor, camber, and toe settings — failure to align will result in premature tyre wear and compromised handling. A 500km break-in period is required to allow springs to settle and shocks to bed in — recheck ride height and alignment after this period and adjust damping settings to suit your driving style and load. For LandCruiser 80 Series models especially, consider pairing this lift with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle and restore factory-like steering feel and highway stability.
Dobinsons has been engineering premium 4WD suspension in Australia for over 60 years, with a reputation built on outback expeditions, commercial fleet durability, and podium finishes in off-road motorsport. Every Dobinsons suspension component is tested on Australian soil — from the red dust of the Simpson Desert to the beach sand of Fraser Island and the rocky tracks of the High Country — ensuring real-world performance that stands up to our harshest conditions. Trusted by grey nomads, professional tour operators, mine site fleets, and weekend warriors alike, Dobinsons backs their products with comprehensive warranty coverage and local Australian technical support.
This MRA Adjustable lift kit is the ultimate choice for LandCruiser 80/105 owners who demand the best — long-distance tourers crossing the Nullarbor or tackling the Canning Stock Route, families heading north to Cape York with a camper trailer in tow, or enthusiasts who split their time between daily commuting and serious weekend off-road adventures. If you regularly tow a caravan, boat, or offroad camper, the 3-way adjustability gives you the control to firm up low-speed compression for stability and reduce squat — or pair this kit with airbag suspension for the ultimate load-levelling and ride-height adjustment capability. Whether you're a tradie carrying constant rear payload or a retiree chasing the perfect touring setup, the MRA kit adapts to your needs.

This kit is specifically engineered for Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1998) and 105 Series (1998-2007) models equipped with coil spring front and rear suspension. It suits both petrol and diesel variants including the iconic 1HZ, 1HD-T, 1HD-FT, and 1FZ-FE engines. If you have a 100 Series LandCruiser (IFS independent front suspension), this kit will not fit — you'll need a different Dobinsons kit designed for that platform. Check your VIN or chassis plate to confirm your series, or contact our team for fitment confirmation.
This kit delivers approximately 50mm (2 inches) of lift over standard ride height when fitted with the correct spring rates for your vehicle's constant accessory load. Actual lift height can vary by 10-15mm depending on your front-end weight (bullbar, winch, long-range tank) and rear payload (drawers, dual batteries, rear bar). The lift provides sufficient clearance for tyres up to 33 inches in diameter with minimal trimming, significantly improves approach and departure angles, and raises diff clearance for better off-road capability. Always measure ride height after the 500km settling period for accurate final results.
This kit includes everything you need for a front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x Dobinsons MRA Adjustable monotube remote reservoir front shock absorbers, 2 x Dobinsons front coil springs (choice of load ratings), 2 x Dobinsons MRA Adjustable rear shock absorbers, and 2 x Dobinsons rear coil springs (choice of load ratings). The kit does NOT include upper control arms, extended brake lines, castor correction bushes, diff drop kits, or extended shackles — these components may be required depending on your vehicle's age and intended use. Check our LandCruiser 80 Series parts finder for complementary upgrade items.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA kit is an excellent choice for regular towing thanks to its 3-way adjustable damping system. You can increase low-speed compression damping to control body pitch, reduce rear squat, and maintain level ride height when hitched to a caravan, camper trailer, or boat. The high-speed compression adjustment also helps manage sudden load transfers during emergency braking or swerving while towing. For maximum towing versatility and the ability to level your vehicle under varying loads, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear — this combination gives you the best of both worlds: tunable damping from the MRA shocks and on-the-fly spring rate adjustment from airbags.
On LandCruiser 80 Series models particularly, upgrading to adjustable upper control arms is highly recommended when lifting 50mm to restore correct castor angle and maintain factory-like steering feel and highway stability. The 105 Series benefits from the same upgrade, especially if you're running larger tyres or notice wandering steering post-lift. Adjustable control arms allow your installer to dial in precise castor settings during alignment, improving straight-line tracking, reducing steering effort, and ensuring your vehicle drives confidently at highway speeds. Browse our range of upgraded control arms designed specifically for lifted LandCruiser 80/105 models.
Yes — a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory immediately after installing any lift kit on your LandCruiser 80 or 105 Series. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe angles, which directly impacts tyre wear, steering response, and vehicle stability. Without proper alignment, you'll experience rapid inner or outer tyre edge wear, steering pull to one side, and potentially dangerous handling characteristics at highway speeds. Choose an alignment shop experienced with lifted 4WDs who can adjust castor (ideally with adjustable upper control arms) and set toe to manufacturer specifications. Recheck alignment after the 500km break-in period as springs settle.
Yes — this kit allows you to select independent front and rear spring rates to perfectly match your vehicle's actual constant accessory load distribution. Your LandCruiser may have a heavy front end (steel bullbar, 12,000lb winch, twin auxiliary fuel tanks) but a relatively light rear (no drawer system yet), or vice versa. During checkout, you'll specify front constant load (in kg) and rear constant load (in kg) separately, and we'll supply the correctly matched Dobinsons coil springs for each end. Remember to calculate only permanent accessories that are always fitted — do not include camping gear, passengers, or towing weight as these are variable loads.
This 50mm lift provides sufficient clearance for tyres up to 33 inches in diameter (285/75R16 or 315/75R16 equivalent) on LandCruiser 80/105 Series with minimal trimming of plastic inner guards at full lock and compression. Some light trimming or removal of mudflap brackets may be required depending on wheel offset and tyre brand — some 33" tyres measure taller than others. If you're planning to run 35 inch tyres, you'll need additional lift (consider a 2-3 inch kit), body lift, or significant guard modifications. Always test fit and cycle suspension through full compression and steering lock before heading off-road to check for rubbing points.
Dobinsons backs this MRA Adjustable lift kit with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship — shock absorbers typically carry a 2-year warranty and coil springs are covered for 3 years under normal use conditions. Warranty terms require professional installation, correct spring rate selection, and use within the product's designed load and application parameters. Off-road racing, extreme rock crawling, or commercial heavy-haulage use may void warranty coverage. Retain your proof of purchase and installation invoice, and register your kit with Dobinsons if required. Full warranty details are provided with your kit — contact us if you have specific warranty questions.
Yes — the Dobinsons MRA Adjustable kit is one of the best choices for LandCruiser owners who daily drive their vehicle but also venture off-road regularly. The 3-way damping adjustment means you're not stuck with a rock-hard "off-road only" setup — dial the compression and rebound to softer settings for smooth, comfortable highway and city driving that rivals or exceeds factory ride quality, then firm everything up when you load the vehicle for a weekend trip or hit corrugated gravel roads. The monotube design with remote reservoir delivers exceptional heat dissipation and fade-free performance even during extended freeway drives in Australian summer heat. It's the ultimate do-it-all suspension system for the versatile LandCruiser platform.
Outstanding Setup for Remote Outback Touring
After 8,000km through the Simpson Desert and Cape York, these Dobinsons MRA shocks and springs have completely transformed my 105. The 3-way damping adjustment is brilliant for switching between highway runs and corrugated desert tracks, and the ride quality when loaded with touring gear is leagues ahead of my old setup. Fitment was spot-on and the monotube design stays cool even on long washboard sections where my previous shocks would fade badly.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Touring Rig
Fitted this Dobinsons MRA kit to our 105 before our last trip down the cape and the difference is night and day. The adjustable damping means I can dial it in whether we're loaded up with camping gear or running light, and the kids reckon the ride is heaps more comfortable on corrugations now. Quality gear that's actually made a real difference to how our LandCruiser handles both on the highway and when we're exploring fire trails.(5)
