The Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit suits the Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series IFS (1998-2007) and delivers a 2" front and rear lift using nitrogen-charged shock absorbers plus raised rear coil springs, with front height gained through torsion bar key adjustment rather than a spring swap. It's a genuine 4WD lift kit upgrade that improves ground clearance and rear load support without sacrificing the factory-tuned ride feel this platform is known for. Dobinsons builds and tests these kits in Australia, and every kit ships with a manufacturer warranty. In stock now with fast dispatch and fitment support from our Australian-based team.

Choosing the right rear coil spring rate depends on what's permanently fitted to the rear of your 100 Series — a steel rear bar, long-range fuel tank, second battery tray and drawer system all add constant load that the standard spring rate wasn't set up for. If you're regularly running a bar, drawers, fridge and water tank, ask our team about a higher-rate rear coil to keep the rear sitting level rather than sagging. For vehicles that only carry occasional camping gear, the standard-rate raised coil in this kit is usually the right call.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced installer or 4WD workshop, as the front torsion bar keys need correct adjustment to achieve an even 2" lift and factory-matching caster. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within spec at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling-in period before final alignment if you can, as coil springs take a small initial set. For vehicles running the front lift at the top of adjustment, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms helps correct CV angles and reduce bump-steer.
Dobinsons has been designing and building 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with this kit developed specifically around the 100 Series IFS chassis and its torsion bar front end. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and built to handle the load and heat conditions Australian tourers and tradespeople put their vehicles through. You can view the full Dobinsons range to compare this kit against other lift options for your LandCruiser.
This kit suits 100 Series owners after a modest, factory-feeling 2" lift for bigger tyres and better clearance, whether that's a weekend tourer heading up the beach or a tradesperson carrying tools and gear daily. If you're regularly towing a caravan or carrying heavier constant loads, it's worth discussing rear coil rate options with our team, or looking at airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this kit.

This kit is built specifically for the 100 Series IFS variant — the independent front suspension model with torsion bars, produced from 1998 to 2007 in both the 1HD-FTE diesel and 2UZ-FE V8 petrol. It is not designed for the solid front axle (leaf-sprung) 105 Series variant. If you're unsure which front end your vehicle has, check the underside for a coil-sprung independent arm setup or contact our team with your VIN or build plate details.
This Dobinsons kit provides a 2" lift at both the front and rear over standard ride height. Front lift is achieved by adjusting the factory torsion bar keys rather than fitting new torsion bars, while the rear gains height from the included raised coil springs. Final lift can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and torsion bar wear, which is why alignment is always checked after fitting.
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.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Dobinsons Nitro Gas shock absorbers, 2 raised rear coil springs rated for 2" lift, and the mounting hardware and bushes needed for the rear components. Front lift uses your existing torsion bars, adjusted via the factory keys, so no front spring or torsion bar is supplied. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you choose to upgrade geometry at ride height.
Yes, the raised rear coil springs in this kit add load support that helps with towing and rear-mounted accessories like bar work and drawers. If you tow regularly or carry a constant heavy load, ask our team about a higher-rate rear coil option to keep the rear sitting level under the tow ball weight. For frequent heavy towing, pairing this kit with airbag suspension gives you adjustable load-levelling on top of the spring upgrade.
Upper control arms aren't compulsory with a 2" lift but are worth considering, since raising ride height changes CV joint angles and camber at the front end. Upgraded control arms with adjustable geometry help bring caster and camber back closer to factory spec after lifting. Our team can advise whether your specific vehicle and driving use justifies the additional control arm upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Adjusting the torsion bar keys for front lift changes caster and camber, and the raised rear coils change the vehicle's overall stance, so alignment settings need to be reset to spec. We recommend allowing the springs to settle for around 500km before the final alignment where possible.
Dobinsons offers the rear coil springs in this kit in different rate options to suit constant loads such as bar work, drawers, water tanks and fridge slides. The standard-rate spring suits vehicles carrying occasional camping gear, while a higher rate is better for vehicles permanently loaded up. Speak with our team about your typical rear-end load before ordering so we can confirm the right spring rate.
A 2" lift on the 100 Series IFS typically creates enough clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel combination with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing on guards or suspension components at full articulation.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our support here in Australia. If you have any concerns about a component after fitting, contact our team directly and we'll help sort out a warranty assessment. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed to keep a factory-like ride feel for daily use while adding the clearance benefits of a 2" lift. The nitrogen-charged shocks are tuned to control body movement without a harsh ride on regular bitumen commuting. Many 100 Series owners run this exact setup as their everyday vehicle and only notice the difference when they head off-road or load up the rear.
