The Dobinsons MRA Pre-Assembled Front Strut Pair suits the Dodge RAM 1500 DS (2019-ON) with infinitely adjustable ride height, integrated coil springs and top mounts already fitted — no separate spring compression needed at install. External damping adjustment lets you dial in compression and rebound for towing or daily driving, while the pre-assembled design cuts fitting time versus loose-component kits.

Because this strut is pre-assembled with a vehicle-specific front spring, the standard rate suits a factory-equipped RAM 1500 running normal accessories. If your front axle carries a permanent bull bar, winch, dual battery tray or driving lights, tell our team when you order so we can confirm whether a firmer rate is appropriate for your setup. Common front-end accessories affecting spring selection include steel bull bars, winches, second batteries and light bar mounting brackets.
Fitting is a strut-swap job best handled by an experienced workshop or a confident DIY installer with strut spring compressor safety knowledge — though the pre-assembled design removes the need to compress and transfer springs on the bench. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting, as ride height and castor/camber angles change once the struts are installed. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the damping to settle before final alignment checks if your fitter recommends it. For correct front geometry at a raised ride height, pair this kit with upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has built its front and rear suspension components specifically for 4WD and light truck platforms, with Australian-based technical support behind every kit sold here. This MRA strut pair is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is distributed locally, so you're not waiting on overseas freight for support or spare parts. Tourers and tradespeople running RAM 1500s choose Dobinsons for adjustable damping that can be tuned as load or driving conditions change — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear components.
This strut pair suits RAM 1500 owners who tow caravans or trailers, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment, and touring drivers who want adjustable damping rather than a fixed factory setting. If you're regularly carrying variable rear loads, also look at airbag suspension to support the rear axle without changing spring rate.

This Dobinsons MRA front strut pair is built for the Dodge RAM 1500 DS series, sold in Australia from 2019 onward as a right-hand-drive remanufactured model. Check your compliance plate or VIN for the DS chassis code before ordering, as earlier DJ/D2 series RAM 1500s (2009-2018) use a different front-end design and are not covered by this kit. If you're unsure, our team can confirm fitment against your build details before you buy.
The MRA strut body is threaded, so ride height is infinitely adjustable rather than fixed to one figure — you can wind up to approximately 2" of front lift depending on how it's set at install. This means you can fine-tune within that range to suit your tyre size, accessory load or preferred stance. Our team can talk you through a starting height setting based on what you're running up front.
You get a pair (2 units) of Dobinsons MRA front struts, pre-assembled with integrated coil springs, top mounts, dust boots and bump stops already fitted. Mounting hardware for the OE strut towers and fitting instructions are included. This kit covers the front axle only — rear shocks and springs, and upper control arms, are sold separately.
Yes. The adjustable damping lets you firm up compression and rebound to better support a laden front end when towing a caravan or trailer, and the vehicle-specific spring rate is matched to the RAM 1500's front axle weight. For full towing support we'd also recommend checking your rear-end setup, since this kit only covers the front struts. Speak to our team about matching rear leaf springs or airbags for a balanced towing platform.
It's not mandatory, but recommended once you're running lift beyond around 1.5", since raised ride height changes CV joint and steering geometry angles at the front axle. Upgraded control arms help restore correct camber and castor at your chosen height, reducing uneven tyre wear over time. Our team can advise whether your specific lift setting needs a control arm upgrade.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this strut pair. Ride height, castor and camber angles all shift once the new struts are fitted and set to your chosen height. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment, and again after a short bedding-in period once the suspension has settled.
The front spring integrated into each MRA strut is set to a vehicle-specific rate for the RAM 1500. If you're running a permanent bull bar, winch or other front-end accessories that add sustained weight, let our team know at the time of order so we can confirm whether a firmer spring option is available for your load. This keeps the front end sitting level rather than sagging under constant accessory weight.
Increased front clearance from this strut pair typically allows for a larger tyre diameter than factory, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset, rear-end lift and any trimming to guards or bump stops. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on the ride height needed to clear it. Rear lift and tyre fitment should be matched separately, since this kit is front struts only.
This Dobinsons MRA strut pair is covered by a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Full warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase and are backed by our Australian-based team for any claims or fitment questions. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date on file, as this is required for any warranty claim.
Yes. The external damping adjustment means you can set the struts softer for comfortable daily driving and firm them up when towing or loaded for a trip. Many RAM 1500 owners run this MRA strut pair as their everyday setup, adjusting damping seasonally or before a towing trip rather than swapping components. The pre-assembled design also means ride quality is consistent from the day it's fitted, without needing a bedding-in change in behaviour.
