Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and suspension longevity — always choose springs based on your constant load only, not occasional or temporary loads. Constant front loads include bull bars, winches, steel bumpers, upgraded batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and heavy-duty intercoolers. Constant rear loads include canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, water tanks, roof racks with rooftop tents, and permanently mounted tool boxes or trade equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, firewood, or towing should NOT be considered when selecting spring rates, as oversized springs will result in harsh ride quality, reduced articulation, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you regularly switch between configurations, select springs for your most common setup and consider adding airbag suspension for variable load adjustment.
This kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate workshop equipment including spring compressors, torque wrenches, and safety gear. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings — failure to complete alignment will result in uneven tyre wear and compromised handling. All shock absorbers should be set to mid-range adjustment (position 6 of 12) initially, with a 500km break-in period allowing springs to settle and suspension geometry to normalize before fine-tuning damper settings for your specific load and driving style. For vehicles with significant front-end weight from bull bars and winches, or those used for serious touring, consider pairing this kit with upgraded heavy-duty control arms to maintain optimal ball joint angles and prevent premature wear.
With over 60 years of Australian 4WD suspension engineering, Dobinsons has earned its reputation building suspension systems that survive the harshest conditions on Earth — from Outback mining operations to professional rally racing. Every kit is developed and tested across tens of thousands of real-world kilometres on Australian corrugations, bulldust, river crossings, and rocky tracks, ensuring genuine durability rather than just laboratory specifications. Dobinsons backs this kit with comprehensive manufacturer warranty and is trusted by everyone from weekend tourers to full-time grey nomads and professional tradespeople who depend on their Triton every single day. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for complementary upgrades including steering dampers, diff breathers, and chassis protection.
This kit is ideal for Triton owners who demand genuine adjustability and performance across mixed driving conditions — from daily commuting and highway towing to weekend beach fishing and extended remote touring. Tradespeople carrying constant tool loads will appreciate the custom spring rate selection that restores ride height without over-springing, while touring families benefit from the ability to dial in comfort for long sealed-road stretches then firm up damping for corrugated tracks. If you're a caravan or camper trailer tower, this kit provides the foundation for stable towing, though serious long-distance tourers should consider adding airbag suspension for ultimate rear-end load support and on-the-fly height adjustment.
All Dobinsons suspension kits are held in Australian stock for fast dispatch nationwide, with expert technical support available to help with spring rate selection, installation questions, and damper tuning advice.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered to fit all Mitsubishi Triton MQ series (2015-2018) and MR series (2019-2024) models including Single Cab, Extra Cab, and Dual Cab body styles. The kit accommodates both petrol and diesel variants across GLX, GLS, and GSR trim levels. Fitment is identical across all cabin configurations, though spring rate selection should be adjusted based on your specific constant load from accessories like canopies, bull bars, and drawer systems. If you have a heavily modified Triton or are unsure about your specific variant, our technical team can confirm compatibility before you order.
This Dobinsons MRA kit delivers approximately 35mm (1.4 inches) of balanced lift at both front and rear axles when measured at standard vehicle load. Actual lift height can vary by 5-10mm depending on your selected spring rates, constant accessory weight, and vehicle condition. The kit maintains factory rake geometry rather than creating excessive rear lift, ensuring proper headlight aim, balanced weight distribution, and predictable handling characteristics. After the initial 500km settling period, you may experience 5-8mm of spring compression as the new components bed in, which is normal and expected with all quality suspension systems.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x MRA adjustable front shock absorbers, 2 x front coil springs (your selected rate), 2 x MRA adjustable rear shock absorbers, 2 x raised rear leaf springs (your selected rate), 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts for leaf spring mounting, and 1 x complete polyurethane bush kit. All necessary mounting hardware, washers, and fasteners are included. The kit does NOT include upper control arms, extended brake lines, or diff drop spacers as these are typically not required for a 35mm lift on the Triton platform, though some builders choose to add them for specific applications.
Yes, this kit significantly improves towing performance when correctly specified with appropriate rear spring rates for your towing setup. The upgraded leaf springs restore ride height under towball weight, while the adjustable MRA shocks allow you to dial in firmer damping (settings 8-12) for enhanced stability when towing. For towing caravans over 2000kg or frequent heavy towing, we strongly recommend adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-the-fly load adjustment and optimal weight distribution. When ordering, select rear spring rates based on constant rear load only (canopy, drawers, etc.) — NOT your towing weight, as this is an occasional rather than constant load.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory for the 35mm lift provided by this kit, as the Triton's geometry remains within acceptable factory tolerances at this height. However, if your vehicle carries significant front-end weight from a heavy bull bar, winch, and auxiliary lighting, upgraded control arms with corrected ball joint angles can optimize suspension geometry and prevent accelerated wear on CV joints and ball joints. Many serious tourers and tradespeople choose to add heavy-duty control arms as preventative maintenance, especially if planning to keep the vehicle long-term. Our technical team can assess your specific build and recommend whether control arms would benefit your particular setup.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit and is critical for safe operation, even handling, and maximizing tyre life. The 35mm lift changes suspension geometry enough to alter camber, caster, and toe angles beyond factory specifications. Driving without proper alignment will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, potentially costing you hundreds of dollars in premature tyre replacement, and may result in vehicle pulling to one side or unstable highway handling. Ensure your alignment shop has experience with lifted 4WDs and can accommodate the new ride height on their equipment. Plan for alignment costs as part of your total installation budget.
Yes, this kit offers multiple spring rate options for both front coil springs and rear leaf springs, allowing precise matching to your constant accessory load. When ordering, you'll select front and rear spring rates based on permanently fitted accessories only — bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range tanks, and similar fixed equipment. It's critical to select spring rates honestly based on actual constant weight, not aspirational or occasional loads. Selecting springs that are too heavy will result in harsh ride quality, reduced articulation, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you're unsure about your constant load weight, contact our team for guidance before ordering.
With the 35mm lift provided by this kit, most Triton MQ-MR owners can comfortably fit 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (approximately 31-31.5 inches diameter) with minimal to no rubbing on standard offset wheels. Some builders successfully run 275/70R17 (32 inch) tyres with minor trimming of inner guard liner tabs and potentially a slight wheel spacer depending on offset. Tyre fitment also depends heavily on wheel offset, backspacing, and suspension compression under load — test fit before committing to expensive tyres. For aggressive tyre sizes beyond 32 inches, you'll likely need additional modifications including body mount chop, differential drop, and potentially upgraded control arms to maintain CV joint angles.
Dobinsons backs this MRA lift kit with comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you confidence in your investment. Specific warranty terms vary by component — shock absorbers, springs, and hardware each carry their own coverage periods as detailed in the included documentation. Warranty is valid when the kit is installed by a qualified technician following Dobinsons installation procedures, and when the vehicle is used within normal 4WD operating parameters. Warranty does NOT cover damage from accidents, misuse, incorrect installation, or failure to perform required wheel alignment and other specified procedures. Always retain your proof of purchase and installation records for warranty claims.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA kit is engineered to deliver excellent on-road manners while maintaining serious off-road capability. The 3-way adjustable shocks allow you to set softer damping (settings 2-5) for daily commuting and highway cruising, providing comfortable ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory suspension, especially when correctly matched to your load. The monotube shock design and progressive spring rates minimize the harsh, truck-like feel common with cheaper lift kits. Most owners report improved highway stability, reduced body roll, and less driver fatigue on long trips compared to worn factory suspension. For the best daily driving experience, ensure you select spring rates accurately matched to your actual constant load rather than over-springing for occasional loads.
