The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Lift Kit suits the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and uses a threaded coilover front strut adjustable from 0" to 3" of lift, paired with MRA remote reservoir shocks front and rear for extra oil capacity and cooler running on long dirt roads. Extended greasable shackles add 1"-2" at the rear to balance the stance under a tray or canopy. Pair it with upgraded control arms to keep CV and camber angles correct at full height. In stock in Australia with a manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our 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.
Front spring rate and rear shackle length should be matched to what you'll be carrying day to day, not just an empty ute. A bull bar, winch, dual battery tray and long-range fuel tank all add constant front-end weight, while a canopy, tray, tool boxes or camper unit load the rear. Tell our team the accessories fitted or planned before you order so the coilover height and rear shock valving suit your actual laden weight rather than a stock, unladen ute.
This kit involves disassembling the factory front strut, transferring components onto the Dobinsons coilover, and mounting the remote reservoirs and rear shackles, so we recommend an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or workshop rather than a first-time DIY job. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance once the ride height changes. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the new shocks and shackle bushes to settle before fine-tuning the front height adjustment. Many N70 owners pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct upper arm geometry and CV angles at the taller ride height.
Dobinsons designs and valves its suspension in-house for Australian conditions, and the MRA remote reservoir range is built around the same coilover and shock platform used across their broader lift kit line-up. Shocks are covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Utes running Dobinsons MRA kits are commonly seen on touring rigs and tradie utes carrying canopies, tool boxes and camper set-ups — view the full Dobinsons range for matching leaf springs, torsion bars and control arms.
This kit suits N70 Hilux owners who want adjustable ride height rather than a fixed lift — tradespeople running a canopy and tool boxes, tourers fitting a rooftop tent or drawer system, and anyone towing a van who needs to fine-tune front clearance around a bull bar or winch. If you're regularly at or near GVM with a heavy tray or camper, ask our team about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for extra load support on the rear.
This Dobinsons MRA kit is in stock in Australia for fast dispatch, and our team can talk you through spring rate and shackle length before you buy. Browse our full lift kit range to compare other options for the N70 Hilux.

This Dobinsons MRA kit is built for the 4x4 Toyota Hilux N70, covering KUN26R and KUN16R diesel models plus GGN15R/GGN25R and TGN16R petrol variants from 2005 to 2015. It is a front coilover design, so it suits 4WD models only, not 2WD Hilux variants. If you're unsure which chassis code your ute has, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the N70. Our team can confirm fitment against your VIN before you order.
The front coilover strut is adjustable from 0" up to 3" of lift via a threaded spring perch, so you can wind it in gradually rather than being locked to one fixed height. The rear uses extended greasable shackles that add 1"-2" of lift when paired with the factory or upgraded leaf pack. Because the front is adjustable, you can set it lower for on-road manners or higher for tyre and approach clearance off-road. We recommend setting front and rear close together for a level stance under your typical load.
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.
You get 2 Dobinsons MRA adjustable front coilover strut assemblies, 2 MRA remote reservoir rear shock absorbers, 2 extended greasable rear shackles, remote reservoir mounting brackets, braided reservoir hoses, front strut top mounts and all fitting hardware. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately. See the full Kit Includes list above for exact quantities.
Yes, the MRA remote reservoir shocks are designed to handle sustained heat and load better than a standard twin-tube shock, which suits regular towing use. The adjustable front height and extended rear shackles let you set the ute level with a loaded tray, canopy or tow ball weight on the hitch. Tell our team your typical towing setup, including van weight and tow ball download, so we can advise on shock valving to suit.
It's not compulsory, but it's worth considering. At 2"-3" of front lift, the factory upper control arm angle changes and can reduce CV joint life and up-travel. Upgraded control arms correct this geometry and are commonly fitted alongside this kit on N70 Hilux builds running the full 3" of front lift. Ask our team whether your intended lift height and tyre size warrant the upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters camber, caster and toe, and driving on an unaligned front end wears tyres unevenly and affects handling. Have the alignment done after the standard 500km bedding-in period once the coilover, shackle bushes and shocks have settled. This also gives your fitter a chance to check the final adjustable front height is set correctly.
The front coilover height is adjustable independently of spring rate through the threaded perch, and rear lift is set by the extended shackle length combined with your leaf spring pack. If you're running heavy constant accessories like a bull bar, winch, canopy or camper, tell us the details so we can confirm the coilover and rear setup matches your laden weight rather than an unladen ute. This avoids a front end that sits too high or too low once accessories are fitted.
Winding the front coilover up to its full 3" of lift and adding the rear shackle lift typically opens up clearance for a larger tyre than the factory fitment, but exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width and whether flares or trimming are needed. Confirm your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on the front height setting needed. We can also flag if paired control arm or bump-stop changes are recommended for your tyre size.
Dobinsons shocks in this MRA kit are covered by a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. As an Australian stockist, we handle warranty claims locally rather than sending items back to an overseas supplier. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date, and contact our team directly if an issue arises.
Yes, the MRA coilover and remote reservoir shock combination is designed to give a controlled ride on-road as well as off it, and the adjustable front height lets you set it lower for a more car-like feel if you're not off-roading often. Many N70 owners run this kit as their daily driver while towing or carrying gear on weekends. Setting the front height to suit your usual load, rather than maximum lift, generally gives the most comfortable everyday ride.
