This kit is specifically engineered for the NewGen (2H series) Volkswagen Amarok released in 2023. It will NOT fit earlier V6 or 4-cylinder Amarok models (2011-2023).

Selecting the correct coil spring and leaf spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and component longevity. When ordering, you must calculate your constant accessory load — the combined weight of permanently fitted accessories that are always on your vehicle. Common front accessories include steel or alloy bullbars, winches (8,000-12,000lb), snorkels, driving lights, upgraded batteries, air compressors, and roof racks with awnings. Rear constant loads include steel canopies or hardlids, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars, and permanently mounted recovery gear. Important: Do not include occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear, water, or trailer tongue weight when selecting spring rates — these are temporary loads. Choosing springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear on bushes, ball joints, and other suspension components.
This kit requires professional installation by a qualified suspension specialist or experienced 4WD mechanic with appropriate workshop equipment including spring compressors, torque wrenches, and hydraulic lifts. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings — failure to align will result in uneven tyre wear and compromised handling. A 500km break-in period is required to allow springs to settle and bushes to seat properly; recheck all fastener torques and perform a second alignment check after this period. Depending on your final lift height and intended use, you may need to upgrade to heavy-duty upper and lower control arms to restore ball joint angles and improve wheel travel, particularly if running larger tyres or regular off-road use.
Dobinsons has been engineering premium 4WD suspension solutions for over 60 years, with every product tested across Australia's harshest terrain from the Simpson Desert to Cape York's corrugated tracks. Their suspension systems are trusted by grey nomads, mining contractors, emergency services, and serious tourers who demand bulletproof reliability and ride quality across tens of thousands of kilometres. All Dobinsons products are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by a nationwide network of specialist installers. For more information on their complete range of lift kits, shock absorbers, and coil springs, view the full Dobinsons suspension range.
This kit is ideal for NewGen Amarok owners who need maximum adjustability and load-carrying capability — including tradespeople running heavy toolboxes and equipment, grey nomad couples towing large off-road caravans, and weekend warriors carrying rooftop tents, dual spare tyres, and long-range touring gear. If you frequently carry variable loads or tow different trailers, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension to fine-tune rear ride height and prevent sagging without compromising unladen ride quality.

This Dobinsons MRA kit is specifically engineered for the NewGen Volkswagen Amarok (2H series) released from 2023 onwards. It fits all NewGen Amarok variants including Style, Life, Style Plus, PanAmericana, and Aventura models with both petrol and diesel engines. This kit will NOT fit earlier generation Amarok models (2011-2023 V6 or 4-cylinder). If you have an earlier Amarok or are unsure of your vehicle's series, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This kit delivers up to 50mm of front suspension lift with 2-inch coilover height adjustability, allowing you to fine-tune your ride height based on your accessory load and tyre size. The rear provides 40mm of lift via raised leaf springs. Actual lift achieved may vary by 5-10mm depending on your constant accessory weight, spring rate selection, and whether your vehicle has a GVM upgrade. The adjustable front coilovers allow you to level your vehicle perfectly when carrying heavy rear loads or towing.
The kit includes 2x MRA adjustable front shock absorbers (50mm bore) with 2-inch height adjustment, 2x front coil springs in your selected rate, 2x coilover adjusting spanners, 2x MRA adjustable rear shock absorbers (50mm bore), 2x 40mm raised rear leaf springs in your selected rate, and 1x polyurethane leaf spring bush kit. All necessary mounting hardware for the leaf springs is included. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, and bump stop extensions are not included but may be required depending on your final setup and should be purchased separately.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing when paired with the correct spring rates for your setup. The MRA adjustable shocks provide superior damping control and heat dissipation during extended highway towing, while the raised leaf springs maintain rear ride height under tongue weight. The adjustable damping allows you to firm up the shocks when towing for better stability and control. For variable or very heavy towing applications, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand ride height adjustment and additional load support without compromising unladen comfort.
Upper and lower control arms are not included in this kit and may be required depending on your final ride height, tyre size, and intended use. A 50mm lift will alter your front suspension geometry including ball joint angles and CV axle angles. While the vehicle will function safely with factory control arms for light-duty use, we strongly recommend upgrading to heavy-duty adjustable upper and lower control arms for optimal geometry correction, increased wheel travel, improved ball joint longevity, and better handling — especially if you're running 32-33 inch tyres or planning serious off-road touring.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit. Lifting your Amarok changes the front suspension geometry including camber, caster, and toe angles which directly affect tyre wear, steering feel, and handling safety. Your alignment technician should set the vehicle to Dobinsons' recommended specifications (provided with the kit) rather than factory specs. A second alignment check is recommended after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled and all components have seated properly.
You must select spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — the combined weight of permanently fitted accessories like bullbars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, long-range tanks, and roof racks. Calculate the total weight of all front accessories (typically 80-150kg for a steel bullbar and winch) and rear accessories (typically 100-200kg for a canopy and drawers). Do NOT include passengers, camping gear, water, tools, or trailer tongue weight as these are occasional loads. Choosing springs that are too heavy will result in a harsh ride and potential damage to bushes and mounts. If you're unsure, contact us with a list of your accessories and we'll recommend the correct rates.
With 50mm of front lift and 40mm of rear lift, you can typically fit 32-33 inch diameter tyres (265/70R17 or 285/70R17 depending on wheel offset) on your NewGen Amarok without significant rubbing. Actual clearance will depend on your wheel offset, tyre brand and tread pattern, and whether you trim any inner guard plastic. For 33+ inch tyres, you may need minor trimming, wheel spacers or different offset wheels, and possibly upgraded upper control arms to maintain proper ball joint angles. We recommend test-fitting tyres at full lock and compression before committing to expensive rubber.
All Dobinsons suspension components are covered by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty which covers defects in materials and workmanship. Shock absorbers typically carry a 12-month/20,000km warranty while springs are covered against breakage under normal use. Warranty coverage requires professional installation with proof of purchase, correct spring rate selection for your load, and adherence to specified torque settings and break-in procedures. Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, competition use, or failure to perform required maintenance and alignment.
Yes, when fitted with correctly rated springs for your constant load, the Dobinsons MRA kit delivers excellent daily driving comfort. The MRA adjustable shocks use premium valving that provides compliant ride quality over small bumps and expansion joints while maintaining control during cornering and emergency maneuvers. The adjustable damping allows you to run softer settings for empty daily driving and firm up for loaded touring or towing. The polyurethane leaf spring bushes eliminate rear axle slop without creating harshness. Thousands of Amarok owners across Australia run this kit as their everyday suspension setup with zero complaints about ride quality.
Perfect Setup for Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons 50mm lift kit on my NewGen Amarok for three months now, including a recent Cape York trip and some pretty brutal tracks through the Simpson. The ride quality is genuinely impressive – loaded up with camping gear and a rooftop tent, it handles corrugations way better than the stock setup ever did. Adjustability means I could dial it in perfectly for different loads, which makes a real difference when you're spending weeks on remote tracks.(5)
Perfect Setup for Our Family Adventures
Had the Dobinsons 50mm lift kit fitted to our new Amarok a few months back and it's been absolutely brilliant for our regular camping trips down the coast and out west. The adjustable setup means I could dial it in perfectly for when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family gear. Ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially on corrugated dirt roads, and the kids don't complain about being bounced around anymore.(5)
Perfect Height and Handles the Load Brilliantly
Been running this Dobinsons lift kit on my NewGen Amarok for a few months now, carting tools and materials to sites every day. The 50mm lift gives me the clearance I need without making it a pain to load gear, and the ride quality is actually better than stock even when I'm fully loaded. Had it on some rough tracks out near Lithgow on the weekend and the adjustable setup handled everything I threw at it.(5)
Perfect Lift for Our Family Adventure Rig
Fitted the Dobinsons adjustable lift kit to our new Amarok last month and it's transformed the way it handles on corrugated tracks heading out to our favourite camping spots. The 50mm lift gives us that extra clearance we needed without making it feel twitchy on highway drives with the camper trailer behind us. Ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with the kids' gear and all our camping equipment for week-long trips.(5)
