Rear shock damping should be matched to your rear spring rate and the constant load you carry, so tell us what accessories are fitted before ordering. Common items affecting rear spring and shock selection include steel trays, canopies, dual-battery setups, water tanks, and towbars with weight-carrying hitches. If you're running a heavier constant load, pair these shocks with a higher-rated rear leaf spring or coil to avoid the vehicle sitting low at the rear.
Fitting the MRA Adjustable Rear Shock Kit is a bolt-on job for an experienced DIY installer, though we recommend a qualified suspension fitter given the remote reservoir mounting and adjuster access. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct rear geometry and protect tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period before making final adjustments to the compression and rebound settings. If you're also addressing front-end geometry at a raised height, look at our control arm upgrades to keep alignment within factory spec.
Dobinsons is an Australian-engineered suspension brand with a long history of building and testing 4WD components for local conditions, including corrugated tracks and heavy touring loads. The MRA range is fully rebuildable, backed by a manufacturer warranty, and used by tourers and tradespeople who need adjustable damping rather than a fixed factory setting. You can view the full Dobinsons range to see matching front shocks, coil springs and leaf springs for the N70 Hilux.
This kit suits Hilux N70 owners who carry a genuine constant rear load — tradespeople with service bodies, tourers running a canopy and drawers, or anyone towing regularly. If your rear load varies trip to trip, it's worth comparing this fixed-rate shock and spring combination against airbag suspension, which lets you adjust support on the fly. For a static, heavier constant load, adjustable damping and a matched leaf spring is usually the simpler long-term option.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Rear Shock Kit is designed specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015. It suits both 4x4 and dual-cab variants running the standard N70 rear chassis and leaf spring mounts. If you're unsure about your exact model or build date, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN or compliance plate before you order.
The rear shocks are user-adjustable from standard ride height up to 3" of lift at the rear. This is achieved through the shock's external adjustment rather than a fixed spring change, so you can set the height to suit your accessory load. Front lift is not included in this kit and should be matched separately if you're lifting the whole vehicle.
You get 2 x Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Rear Shock Absorbers with remote reservoirs, mounting brackets, bushes and hardware, plus the 3-way external adjuster knobs for compression and rebound. Front shocks, springs, control arms and leaf springs are not included and are available separately. Full fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
Yes, the remote reservoir design and adjustable damping make this shock suited to towing setups where rear-end load and heat management matter. You can firm up low-speed compression for a loaded trailer or canopy, then back it off for unladen driving. For heavier constant towing loads, pair the shocks with a higher-rated rear leaf spring to keep ride height correct.
Rear control arms are not affected by this rear shock kit on the N70 Hilux, which uses leaf springs at the rear. If you're also lifting the front with coil springs, upgraded control arms help correct front-end geometry and CV angles at height. Talk to our team about whether your specific front lift height requires a control arm upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is required after fitting these rear shocks, particularly if you adjust the rear ride height from standard. Alignment protects tyre wear and keeps the Hilux tracking straight under load. We recommend booking the alignment after a short settling drive rather than immediately off the hoist.
This kit is shocks only, so spring rate selection is done separately through Dobinsons' leaf spring range for the N70 Hilux. Spring rate should be chosen based on your constant rear accessory load — canopy, tray, water tank or dual-battery setup. Our team can recommend a leaf spring rate to pair with these adjustable shocks based on your actual build.
A rear lift of up to 3" from these shocks can improve clearance for larger tyres at the back, but front clearance depends on your separate front lift and any control arm work. We recommend confirming your target tyre size against your full suspension setup, front and rear, before purchase. Our fitment support team can advise on realistic tyre sizing for your N70.
These shocks are covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, and being fully rebuildable, they can be serviced rather than replaced if damping performance changes over time. Warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase and cover manufacturing defects under normal use. Contact our team if you need the exact warranty period in writing before ordering.
Yes, the adjustable damping lets you set a softer low-speed compression setting for daily commuting and unladen driving, then firm it up when carrying load or towing. Many N70 owners run these shocks year-round, adjusting settings seasonally or trip to trip. The remote reservoir design also helps maintain consistent damping on longer daily commutes over rough sealed roads.
