The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts suit the Toyota FJ Cruiser (2011-2016) and deliver a selectable 2" to 3" front lift using monotube remote-reservoir shocks with 3-way external damping adjustment for compression and rebound, part of our broader lift kit range. Each strut arrives pre-assembled with matched performance coil springs, so ride height and spring rate are set correctly from the box, and it pairs well with our shock absorber range for the rear axle. For corrected geometry at height, add upgraded control arms. In stock in Australia with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our Dobinsons suspension range specialists.

Choose your front lift height (2" or 3") based on the constant weight sitting over the front axle, such as a bull bar, winch, or driving light bar, since a heavier front end will sit lower in the adjustment range than a stock front-end vehicle. Common front-end accessories affecting spring selection include steel bull bars, winches, aftermarket bumpers and long-range driving lights. If you're unsure which end of the 2-3" range suits your setup, our team can confirm the right preload based on your fitted accessories.
These struts are a bolt-in replacement for the factory front units but involve coil spring compression and reservoir routing, so we recommend fitment by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with the correct spring compressor tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct castor and camber at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs to settle before finalising alignment. Consider pairing this upgrade with control arm upgrades to correct front CV and steering angles at the taller ride height.
Dobinsons has built suspension components for Australian 4WDs for decades, with product development driven by local touring and load-carrying conditions rather than sealed-road use alone. Every MRA strut is covered by a manufacturer warranty and backed by our own Australian-based fitment support team. Tourers, remote-area travellers and tradespeople running heavier front-end accessories rely on the Dobinsons name — view the full Dobinsons suspension range for matching rear components.
This kit suits FJ Cruiser owners running a bull bar, winch or driving lights who need the front spring rate to match that added weight without sagging the ride height. It also suits owners planning a 2-3" lift for larger tyre clearance on tracks and firetrails. If you're carrying constant rear payload such as a canopy, tools or camping gear, ask us about matching airbag suspension for the rear axle.
These struts are in stock in Australia and typically dispatch fast from our warehouse. Our team can confirm spring rate and lift height before you order — get in touch or browse our full lift kit range for matching rear components.

Yes, these Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts are built specifically for the Toyota FJ Cruiser GSJ15R series sold in Australia from 2011 to 2016. They are a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory front strut assembly. If your FJ Cruiser has already been modified with a different lift kit, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This strut kit gives a selectable 2" to 3" front lift, adjusted via the coil spring perch setting on each strut. The exact height within that range depends on the static weight over the front axle, such as a bull bar or winch. Our team can help you pick the right setting for your accessory load.
The kit includes 2 x Dobinsons MRA Adjustable monotube remote-reservoir front struts with matched performance coil springs pre-fitted, remote reservoir mounting brackets, top hat bushes and mounting hardware. Fitting instructions are included. Rear shocks, leaf springs and upper control arms are sold separately.
This is a front strut kit, so it primarily supports the front axle weight from accessories like a bull bar or winch rather than towball download, which loads the rear. For towing, we recommend pairing this front kit with a matched rear shock and spring combination from our shock absorber range to balance the vehicle front to rear.
At a 2-3" front lift, factory upper control arms can bind CV joints and reduce available suspension travel and steering angle. We recommend fitting upgraded control arms alongside this strut kit to restore correct geometry, particularly if you're running the full 3" of lift.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing these struts. Ride height changes alter front castor and camber, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering stability. We suggest allowing the springs to settle for around 500km before the final alignment check.
The coil springs supplied with this strut kit are matched to the FJ Cruiser's front axle weight range and the 2-3" lift setting. If you're running heavier accessories such as a winch and bull bar together, let our team know so we can confirm the spring is suited to that constant load before you order.
A 2-3" front lift typically improves clearance for larger diameter tyres on the FJ Cruiser, but actual clearance also depends on wheel offset and rear lift height fitted alongside it. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team so the front and rear lift are matched correctly.
These Dobinsons MRA struts are covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Our team handles warranty support locally in Australia, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue comes up. Keep your purchase invoice as proof of purchase for any claim.
Yes, the 3-way external adjustment lets you set a softer damping profile for daily commuting and firm it up for loaded touring or off-road driving. Many FJ Cruiser owners run these struts as their daily setup and adjust damping when heading off-road or carrying extra gear. The pre-matched coil springs also mean ride height stays consistent day to day rather than sagging over time.
