Raised front coil springs and multi-rate rear leaf springs let you set ride height and load capacity to suit tray weight, canopy, or touring gear. Pair it with corrected-geometry control arms for accurate alignment at ride height. In stock in Australia with full manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our suspension team.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your leaf spring rating based on the constant accessory weight sitting on the rear of your BT50, not just occasional load. Common items that add constant rear load include steel trays, canopies, tool boxes, water tanks, dual batteries, and drawer systems, while bull bars and winches load the front end. Tell our team your fitted accessories and typical touring or towing weight and we'll confirm the correct front coil and rear leaf combination before you order.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a confident DIY installer with a hoist and spring compressor, given the leaf spring and shackle work involved. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment to correct castor and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling period for the leaf springs and shock bushes to bed in before final alignment checks. Many BT50 owners fit this kit alongside control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at 2-3" of lift.
Dobinsons has built suspension components in Australia and the US for decades, with MRA shocks developed and tested under local touring and towing conditions rather than adapted from passenger car parts. Every MRA kit is backed by manufacturer warranty and paired with technical support from our team on spring rate and damping settings. Tradespeople and touring drivers both run this kit for its adjustability rather than a fixed, one-size setup — see the full Dobinsons suspension range for other BT50 options.
This kit suits BT50 owners running a canopy, tray, or caravan who need adjustable damping to switch between unladen and loaded settings without a shock swap. It also suits tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily who want more payload margin than the standard suspension provides. If you're regularly at or near GVM with a constant heavy load, also look at airbag suspension to add load-levelling support alongside this kit.

This Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Lift Kit is built for the Mazda BT50 UP/UR series sold in Australia from 2012 to 2020, covering both the 2.2L and 3.2L turbo diesel variants. It uses the factory coil and leaf mounting points, so no drilling or permanent modification is needed. If you're unsure which series your BT50 is, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN or compliance plate before you order.
The kit provides a selectable 2" or 3" lift, set through the combination of raised front coil springs, multi-rate rear leaf springs, and the MRA shock length. The exact height achieved depends on the spring rate chosen for your accessory load, since a heavier-rated rear leaf will sit slightly differently under load. We recommend confirming your target ride height with our team when selecting spring rates.
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 monotube remote-reservoir shock absorbers with 3-way adjustable damping, raised front coil springs, and raised rear leaf springs. It also includes rear shackles, shackle bushes, U-bolt kits, bump stop spacers, and fitting hardware. Upper control arms and steering dampers are not included and are sold separately for BT50 owners wanting corrected geometry at height.
Yes. The 3-way external damping adjustment lets you firm up compression and rebound when towing a trailer or caravan, then back it off for unladen driving. Rear leaf springs are available in multiple load ratings, so you can match spring rate to your typical ball weight and payload. Speak to our team about your tow ball mass so we can recommend the right rear leaf rating.
Control arms are not included in this kit but are worth fitting alongside it. At 2-3" of lift, front geometry and CV joint angles shift from factory settings, and upgraded control arms correct castor and reduce CV wear on the BT50. We stock control arms designed to work with this exact lift range if you want to add them.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Ride height changes castor, camber and toe, and running the vehicle without a post-fit alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and unpredictable steering feel. We recommend a 500km settling period first, since leaf springs and bushes bed in slightly, then a final alignment check.
Yes. This kit is offered with multiple rear leaf spring load rating options to suit different constant accessory loads such as trays, canopies, tool boxes, and water tanks. Front coil springs are matched to typical BT50 front-end loads like bull bars and winches. Tell us your fitted accessories and typical load and we'll confirm the correct spring combination before dispatch.
A 2-3" lift on the BT50 generally provides enough clearance for a moderate tyre size increase over standard, though the exact size depends on wheel offset and any guard trimming. We recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team before purchase, especially if you're running the full 3" lift height with wider aftermarket wheels.
This Dobinsons MRA kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, and it's dispatched from Australian stock rather than shipped from overseas on order. If you have any issue with fitment or a suspected fault, our team handles the warranty process directly rather than referring you back to the manufacturer.
Yes, many BT50 owners run this kit as a daily driver as well as for towing and touring, using the 3-way damping adjustment to soften the ride for unladen commuting. The monotube remote-reservoir design also copes well with mixed daily use and occasional heavier loads without needing separate shocks. Set the damping softer for daily driving and firm it up when loaded or towing.
