The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Struts bring a genuine 2" front lift to the Isuzu D-MAX (2020-ON) through monotube damper technology with infinite ride-height adjustment via a threaded spring perch. Matched front coil springs are sized to carry the added weight of a bull bar and winch without sagging or losing factory rake. This is a front-only kit — pair it with a rear leaf or coil upgrade from our lift kit range for a full-height result. Backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and in stock now with fitment support from our Australian team.

Choosing the right front coil spring comes down to what constant weight sits over the front axle. A heavy steel bull bar, winch, driving lights and bash plate all add load that a standard-rate spring wasn't designed to carry, which can drop ride height and lift angle over time. Tell our team what accessories are fitted, or planned, and we'll match a spring rate that holds the correct 2" ride height under that load.
Fitting the MRA struts involves removing the factory strut assembly and setting the adjustable spring perch to your target ride height, so we recommend an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or a workshop familiar with coil-strut removal. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber, caster and toe back within spec at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling-in period for the springs and bushes before a final alignment check. If you're lifting the front by the full 2", pairing the kit with upgraded control arms corrects CV joint and camber angles that shift at height.
Dobinsons has been designing and testing 4WD suspension for Australian conditions for decades, and the MRA range is engineered specifically for late-model utes like the D-MAX. Each kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, with local support through our team if you have a fitment or warranty question. Tourers and tradespeople running this platform choose Dobinsons for adjustable, serviceable componentry rather than a fixed-rate off-the-shelf strut — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear options.
This kit suits D-MAX owners running a bull bar, winch and driving lights who need the front end to sit level rather than sag under that weight. It's also a good fit for tourers wanting adjustable ride height for track conditions without swapping struts. If you're regularly carrying a heavy tray load or towing a caravan, consider pairing this front kit with rear airbag suspension for load levelling on the rear axle.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA strut kit is built for the Isuzu D-MAX RG series from 2020 onwards, covering SX, LS-M, LS-U and X-Terrain variants with the 3.0L turbo-diesel engine. It bolts into the factory double-wishbone coil-strut front end using the standard mounting points. If you're running a non-standard front end or an earlier D-MAX model, check with our team before ordering. Use our parts finder for the D-MAX to confirm exact fitment.
The Dobinsons MRA struts give a 2" front lift, adjustable anywhere from standard ride height up to the full 2" via the threaded spring perch. This is a front-only kit, so rear ride height needs a separate leaf, coil or airbag upgrade to match. The adjustment lets you fine-tune the front to sit level once a bull bar and winch are fitted.
The kit includes two Dobinsons MRA adjustable monotube front struts and two matched front coil springs, along with strut top mounts, bearings, mounting hardware and the ride-height adjustment tool. Fitting instructions are supplied. Rear shocks, rear springs and upper control arms are sold separately, as this kit covers the front end only.
This front strut kit is designed to carry the added static weight of front-end accessories like a bull bar and winch, which indirectly helps stability when towing by keeping the front end level. It doesn't affect towball weight, which is managed by the rear suspension. For a D-MAX used for regular towing, we'd recommend pairing this front kit with a matched rear leaf spring or airbag setup from our leaf spring range.
At a 2" front lift, upper control arm geometry shifts enough that we recommend upgrading to aftermarket control arms to correct camber and CV joint angles. Factory control arms can still be used at lower adjustment settings closer to standard height. Running the full 2" long-term on factory arms will accelerate wear on CV joints and ball joints. Our team can advise which control arm suits your exact ride height setting.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting the MRA struts. Camber, caster and toe all change once the front ride height is adjusted, and an alignment brings these back within factory tolerance. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after a 500km settling-in period once the springs and bushes have seated.
Yes, Dobinsons offers matched front coil springs in different rates to suit the constant weight of your bull bar, winch and driving lights. Running a heavier front accessory load without the correct spring rate will drop your ride height below the intended 2" lift over time. Tell our team your accessory combination and we'll confirm the right spring for your D-MAX.
A 2" front lift on the D-MAX commonly opens up clearance for larger diameter tyres, with many owners running up to a 33" tyre depending on wheel offset and whether the rear is also raised. Guard trimming may still be needed at full lock or full compression. We recommend checking your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchase.
This Dobinsons MRA strut kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering defects in the struts and springs. We handle warranty support locally through our Australian team, so you're not dealing directly with an overseas supplier. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the MRA struts are designed to run comfortably on-road at a standard adjustment setting, with the monotube design maintaining consistent damping on regular commuting and highway driving. The adjustability means you can wind in a firmer setting for a loaded touring trip and back off for daily use. Many D-MAX owners run this kit as their only front suspension upgrade for daily and weekend touring use.
