When upgrading your Hilux N80 rear suspension, selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and safety. These MRA shocks are designed to work with a range of spring rates based on your constant accessory load — calculate the combined weight of your canopy or tray, drawer systems, dual battery setup, long-range fuel tank, rear bar, spare wheels, tools, and typical cargo. Common rear accessories that affect spring selection include aluminium canopies (60-80kg), steel toolboxes (40-60kg), dual battery systems (25-35kg), long-range fuel tanks (100kg when full), and permanent camping gear. Always match your rear coil springs or leaf springs to your actual load rather than guessing — our team can help calculate your exact requirements.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for these MRA adjustable shocks to ensure correct fitment, remote reservoir mounting, and initial damping setup. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure safe handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period before making fine-tuning adjustments to compression and rebound settings, as the shocks need time to seat and settle. For maximum benefit and corrected geometry on lifted Hilux N80 vehicles, consider pairing these rear shocks with upgraded control arms and extended brake lines to restore factory drive angles and prevent component binding.
For over 60 years, Dobinsons has been the trusted choice of Australian adventurers, tradespeople, and mining fleets who demand uncompromising reliability in the harshest environments on earth.

These MRA adjustable rear shocks are ideal for serious Toyota Hilux N80 owners who demand the ultimate in suspension performance and adjustability — tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, grey nomads towing heavy caravans across the country, and dedicated off-roaders tackling Cape York, the Canning Stock Route, or Victorian High Country. If you frequently vary your load between unladen commuting and fully-loaded touring, the 3-way adjustability lets you optimise ride quality for every scenario without compromise. For those carrying maximum rear loads regularly, consider adding airbag suspension to further enhance load capacity, eliminate squat, and improve headlight aim when towing.

These Dobinsons MRA adjustable rear shocks are engineered specifically for all Toyota Hilux N80 variants from 2015 to current models, including SR, SR5, Workmate, Rugged, Rugged X, and Rogue trim levels. They're compatible with both 2WD and 4WD rear suspension configurations. The adjustable 0-75mm lift range allows you to match various front lift heights and level your Hilux regardless of cab style or factory suspension setup. If you've made modifications or aren't sure about your specific build date, contact our team with your VIN for confirmation before ordering.
These MRA shocks offer adjustable rear lift from 0mm up to 75mm, giving you precise control over your Hilux N80's rear ride height. The adjustability allows you to level the vehicle with your chosen front lift kit, compensate for heavy rear loads like canopies and toolboxes, or simply dial in your preferred stance. Unlike fixed-length shocks, you can change the lift height as your setup evolves without purchasing new shocks. This flexibility makes them perfect for Hilux owners who vary between unladen daily driving and fully-loaded touring or work configurations.
This kit includes 2 Dobinsons MRA monotube remote reservoir rear shock absorbers with pre-fitted braided hoses, adjustment knobs for all three damping circuits, protective dust boots, and comprehensive installation documentation. The remote reservoirs come ready to install with all necessary mounting hardware for the canisters. However, this is a shock-only kit — rear springs (coil or leaf depending on your vehicle), U-bolts, extended brake lines, and other suspension components are sold separately. We recommend reviewing your complete suspension needs to ensure you have all components for a safe, complete installation.
Absolutely — these Dobinsons MRA shocks are specifically engineered for heavy towing applications and constant payload carrying on the Hilux N80 platform. The remote reservoir design with increased oil capacity prevents fade during extended highway towing, while the 20-stage low-speed compression adjustment allows you to firm up the rear end to control sway and maintain stability when towing at GCM. The adjustable lift also helps maintain correct ride height when loaded, preventing dangerous rear squat that affects headlight aim and handling. For maximum towing performance, pair these shocks with appropriately-rated heavy-duty rear springs and consider adding airbag suspension for ultimate load control and adjustability.
While these rear shocks don't directly require control arm upgrades (as most control arm concerns relate to front suspension geometry), if you're installing a complete lift kit with significant front lift, upgraded control arms become essential for proper wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The Hilux N80 front suspension benefits greatly from aftermarket control arms when lifted beyond 40mm to restore castor angle and prevent steering wander. Since these rear shocks can be adjusted up to 75mm, you'll want to ensure your front suspension components — including control arms, ball joints, and steering components — are upgraded to match your total lift for balanced handling and safety. Our team can recommend the complete package for your target lift height.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing these shocks or any suspension lift components on your Hilux N80. Changing rear ride height affects the entire vehicle's geometry, load distribution, and suspension angles — even though rear alignment adjustments on the Hilux are limited, the front alignment must be corrected to account for the new rear height and load transfer characteristics. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling, and safe braking performance. Book your alignment with a 4WD suspension specialist who understands lifted vehicles and can set your Hilux to appropriate specifications for your new setup, not just factory settings.
Yes, these Dobinsons MRA shocks are designed to work with a wide range of spring rates, allowing you to match your rear springs to your specific constant load requirements. Dobinsons offers multiple rear spring options for the Hilux N80 in various load ratings to accommodate everything from unladen daily driving to maximum GVM tradie setups with canopies, toolboxes, and equipment. The key is calculating your permanent accessory weight (canopy, drawers, tanks, bars, typical cargo) and selecting springs rated for that constant load, then using the shock adjustability to fine-tune ride quality. Our team can help you calculate your exact load and recommend the perfect spring and shock combination for your Hilux usage.
With up to 75mm of rear lift from these shocks (matched with appropriate front lift), most Hilux N80 owners can comfortably fit 32-33 inch tyres (285/70R17 or 265/70R17) without rubbing, though this depends heavily on wheel offset, tyre brand, and whether you trim or modify guards. The exact fitment varies between Hilux body styles and requires consideration of your total lift package — front and rear combined. Some owners achieve 33-inch fitment with 50mm lifts and minor trimming, while others targeting 35-inch tyres may need 3-inch+ lifts plus body modifications. For accurate tyre fitment advice specific to your wheel choice and desired lift height, contact our team with your complete build plan for personalized recommendations.
Dobinsons stands behind their MRA shock absorbers with comprehensive warranty coverage that reflects their confidence in Australian-engineered quality and durability. The specific warranty terms cover manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal use conditions, with coverage duration varying by component type and application. Because these shocks are fully rebuildable, they're designed as a lifetime investment that can be serviced and refreshed indefinitely rather than thrown away when worn. Keep your proof of purchase and installation documentation, ensure professional fitting, and follow the recommended 500km break-in and adjustment procedures. Contact us for complete current warranty details and to register your product after purchase.
These Dobinsons MRA shocks excel in both daily driving and extreme off-road conditions — that's the beauty of the 3-way adjustability. For your daily commute, you can dial in softer compression settings for plush, comfortable highway cruising and responsive handling around town. When heading off-road or loading up for a trip, simply adjust the compression and rebound to firmer settings for maximum control, reduced body roll, and fade-free performance on corrugations and rough tracks. Many Hilux N80 owners run these as their everyday shocks because the adjustability eliminates the compromise between comfort and capability. The monotube design also runs cooler and more consistently than twin-tube alternatives during daily use, extending service life and maintaining performance.
