Spring rate for this kit should be matched to constant front-end accessory weight only — a steel bullbar, winch, driving lights or a long-range fuel tank bracket if it sits up front. Do not add occasional loads like recovery gear or passengers into this calculation, as an overspring will make the ride harsher than needed. If you're not sure of your total accessory weight, our team can recommend a spring rate before you order.
Fitting the pre-assembled strut is a bolt-in job for an experienced DIY mechanic with a hoist and correct torque specs, though professional fitment is recommended given the steering and suspension geometry involved. A four-wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is installed, to correct camber and toe at the new ride height. Allow around 500km for the springs to settle and shocks to bed in before judging final ride height. If you're running larger control arms or correcting caster at this height, look at our control arm options to suit.
Dobinsons is an Australian suspension manufacturer that designs and valves its shocks in-house rather than relabelling an off-the-shelf unit. Component choices here — NOK seals, Fuchs oil, double chrome rods — are specified for Australian conditions rather than a generic global spec. Backed by manufacturer warranty and stocked locally, you can view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear or accessory upgrades.
This kit suits MQ-MR Triton owners who've fitted a steel bullbar and winch and need the front spring rate to match that added weight, plus tourers wanting extra clearance for a larger front tyre. Tradies with permanent front-mounted equipment will also benefit from the load-matched spring rate. If you're adding significant rear weight from a canopy, toolboxes or towing, look at airbag suspension for the rear to hold level ride height.
This kit is in stock at our Australian warehouse for fast dispatch. Our suspension specialists can help with spring rate selection and fitment questions — browse our full lift kit range to compare options for your Triton.

Yes, this kit is a direct bolt-in fit for the Mitsubishi Triton MQ (2015-2018) and MR (2019-current), across GLX, GLS, GLX+, GLS Premium, Exceed, Blackline and GSR variants. It uses the factory front strut mounting points, so no chassis modification is needed. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, check our parts finder or contact our team with your VIN or compliance plate details.
This kit provides a 1.5" front lift measured at the strut. It's designed to increase clearance for a moderate tyre size increase and improve approach angle without altering the factory rear ride height. For a level stance you may want to check your rear spring options separately, as this kit is front-only.
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.
You get two pre-assembled Dobinsons Nitro Gas front strut units, each with a 35mm-bore twin-tube shock and heavy-duty coil spring already fitted. NOK multi-lip seals, Fuchs German shock oil and mounting hardware come standard. Rear shocks, control arms and steering components are not included and are sold separately.
This is a front lift kit, so its direct effect on towing is limited to front-end load handling from accessories like a winch or bullbar, not tow ball weight. For towing support you'd typically look at rear leaf springs or airbag suspension to manage tow ball download. Speak to our team about a combined front and rear setup if you tow regularly.
At a 1.5" lift height most MQ-MR owners run factory control arms without issue, but geometry and CV angles are worth checking at your final ride height. If you notice camber changes or reduced steering travel after the alignment, upgraded control arms can correct that. Our team can advise based on your specific lift height and tyre size.
Yes, a four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes alter camber and toe settings, and skipping alignment will cause uneven tyre wear. Book the alignment once the 500km bed-in period is complete for the most accurate settings.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this kit with spring rates matched to your constant front accessory load — items like a steel bullbar, winch or driving lights that stay on the vehicle permanently. Don't include occasional gear like recovery equipment in this calculation. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll recommend the right spring rate before you order.
The 1.5" front lift creates extra clearance suited to a modest tyre diameter increase over factory, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchase to avoid rubbing at full steering lock or compression.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty claims are handled through us as your Australian supplier, so keep your invoice as proof of purchase. Contact our team directly if you have any warranty questions before or after fitment.
Yes, this kit uses vehicle-specific valving tuned for the Triton's front weight distribution, which keeps on-road ride quality close to factory feel while adding load capacity for front accessories. It's a common fitment for Tritons used for daily commuting, work and weekend touring. If your accessory load is heavy, correct spring rate selection matters most for daily comfort.
