Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just the heaviest occasional load. A standard-rate 76 Series suits vehicles with a bullbar and winch up front and a fridge slide, drawers and long-range fuel tank in the rear. If you're running a GVM upgrade, dual battery system, rear bar with spare tyre, or towing a camper trailer regularly, talk to our team about a higher-rate rear spring option to keep the rear sitting level under load.
This kit is best fitted by a qualified 4WD suspension workshop or an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and spring compressor. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment because ride height and castor angle change with a 2" lift. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the leaf springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and alignment. For correct front geometry at ride height, many 76 Series owners pair this kit with upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has been manufacturing and testing 4WD suspension in Australia for over 60 years, with valving and spring rates developed specifically for local vehicles and local conditions. Every Nitro Gas shock and leaf spring in this kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty, and it's dispatched from Australian stock rather than shipped in on special order. To see other lift heights and shock options for the 76 Series and other Toyota models, view the full Dobinsons range.
This kit suits tourers fitting drawers, fridges and rooftop tents, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, and owners towing camper trailers or small caravans. If your rear load is inconsistent — sometimes empty, sometimes fully loaded — it's worth comparing this leaf spring kit against airbag suspension to level the rear only when you need it.

This Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit is built for the 76 Series wagon, covering both the 1999-2007 1HZ diesel and 1FZ-FE petrol models and the 2007-ON 1VD-FTV V8 turbo diesel. It is not designed for the 78 Series troop carrier or 79 Series ute/cab-chassis, which use different chassis and spring mounts. If you're unsure which series you have, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN or compliance plate before you order.
This kit delivers a true 2" of lift at both the front and rear of the 76 Series wagon. Front lift comes from vehicle-specific coil springs, while the rear is raised via 2" leaf springs matched to the standard chassis mounting points. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load and tyre size.
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 Dobinsons Nitro Gas shock absorbers, 2 rear Dobinsons Nitro Gas shock absorbers, 2 front coil springs, 2 rear leaf springs, U-bolt kits sized for the 2" lift, and rear leaf spring bushes with fitting instructions. Front and rear control arms are not included and are sold separately if required. See the full kit contents list on this page for exact quantities.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are designed to support constant accessory and touring loads, which suits regular towing of camper trailers or small caravans. If you tow heavier or more often, ask our team about a higher-rate rear leaf spring option to better match your typical loaded weight. Matching spring rate to actual load keeps the rear sitting level and improves stability while towing.
At a 2" lift height, many 76 Series owners fit upgraded control arms to correct front-end geometry and restore correct castor angle. This kit does not include control arms, so it's worth discussing your driving style and terrain with our team to decide if an upgrade is needed for your build. Our control arm range is designed to complement Dobinsons lift kits.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this lift kit. Raising the vehicle 2" changes castor and camber angles, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and keeps steering feel accurate. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bedding-in period.
Dobinsons offers different rear leaf spring rate options for the 76 Series to suit varying constant accessory loads, from light touring setups to heavier GVM-upgraded configurations. Front coil springs are matched to the standard front axle load and generally don't need a rate change unless you're running a heavy bullbar and winch combination. Contact our team with your typical accessory list and we can recommend the right spring rate for your kit.
A 2" lift on the 76 Series typically creates clearance for a modest increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and any flares fitted. We recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team before purchasing new tyres. Rubbing can still occur at full steering lock or full suspension compression without adequate flares or trimming.
This kit is covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty on both the Nitro Gas shock absorbers and the coil and leaf springs. Exact warranty terms are confirmed at time of purchase, and our team can provide the specific warranty documentation for this kit. We stock this kit in Australia, so any warranty claim is handled locally without waiting on overseas freight.
Yes, this Nitro Gas kit is designed to balance off-road load-carrying with everyday on-road comfort, not just weekend touring performance. The twin-tube shock design and vehicle-specific valving keep the ride settled around town and on the highway when the vehicle isn't fully loaded. Many 76 Series owners run this kit as their daily driver while also using it for regular touring and towing.
