Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Springs should be matched to your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional cargo. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, steel roof racks, and long-range fuel tanks. Rear constant loads include rear bars, wheel carriers, dual battery systems, drawer systems, and permanently mounted canopies or trays. Occasional loads such as camping gear, water, passengers, or items carried only for specific trips should NOT be factored into spring rate selection, as oversized springs will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
This lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY mechanical skills, appropriate workshop tools, and safety equipment including vehicle stands and spring compressors. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct toe, camber, and caster settings, preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining vehicle handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed-in before reassessing ride height and performance. Depending on your lift height and wheel/tyre combination, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms or adjustable components to correct suspension geometry and maximize articulation.

This kit is specifically engineered for Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series vehicles from 2007 to current models, including Wagon, Troop Carrier, and Cab Chassis variants equipped with the 4.5L V8 turbo diesel engine. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points with no cutting or fabrication required. If you have a modified vehicle, non-standard suspension configuration, or are unsure about compatibility with specific accessories, our suspension experts can verify fitment before purchase. Contact us with your VIN or build details for personalized confirmation.
This Dobinsons kit provides a 2-inch (50mm) lift front and rear, increasing ground clearance and allowing fitment of larger diameter tyres while improving approach and departure angles for off-road use. The twin-tube nitro gas shocks feature vehicle-specific valving tuned for the 76 Series, delivering a firmer, more controlled ride compared to factory suspension while maintaining acceptable on-road comfort for daily driving. Ride quality will be noticeably improved when carrying loads or towing, as the upgraded springs and shocks are designed to handle the 76 Series' heavy-duty workload without sagging or shock fade. Unladen ride may feel slightly firmer than stock, which is typical of load-rated 4WD suspension upgrades.
This complete kit includes 2 front Dobinsons nitro gas shock absorbers, 2 rear nitro gas shock absorbers, 2 front coil springs, 2 rear 50mm raised leaf springs, 4 heavy-duty U-bolts for leaf spring mounting, and a complete polyurethane bush kit. All necessary mounting hardware is supplied for front and rear installation. The kit does NOT include extended brake lines, control arms, or other chassis components that may be required depending on your specific build and intended use. Spring rates are selected during ordering based on your constant accessory load — refer to the spring selection guide or contact us for assistance.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the firmer spring rates and enhanced shock valving specifically designed to control heavy loads and reduce rear-end sag. The raised leaf springs maintain ride height under towball weight, while the larger-bore nitro gas shocks provide consistent damping performance and reduce shock fade during extended highway towing or corrugated track use. For maximum towing versatility and the ability to adjust ride height based on varying loads, many 76 Series owners pair this lift kit with airbag suspension, which allows on-demand support without compromising unladen ride quality. Ensure your total vehicle and trailer combination remains within manufacturer GVM and GCM ratings.
A 2-inch lift on the Landcruiser 76 Series can be installed without control arm replacement in most cases, as the suspension geometry changes are moderate at this lift height. However, adjustable or extended control arms may be beneficial if you want to correct caster angle for improved steering feel, maximize wheel travel and articulation for serious off-road use, or if you're running larger tyres that require additional clearance. Factory control arms will function adequately for touring and general off-road use with this lift height. If you're building a dedicated expedition or rock-crawling rig, upgraded control arms would be a worthwhile addition for optimal geometry and performance.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons kit. Lifting your vehicle alters suspension geometry, affecting toe, camber, and caster angles, which will cause premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues if not corrected. A qualified suspension or 4WD workshop should perform the alignment using manufacturer specifications or recommended settings for lifted vehicles. The alignment should be rechecked after approximately 500 kilometers once the springs have settled and all components have bedded in. This initial settling period is normal for new coil and leaf springs.
Yes, Dobinsons manufactures this kit with multiple spring rate options to match your specific constant accessory load configuration. During ordering, you'll select front and rear spring rates based on the permanent weight you carry — front loads include bull bars, winches, and long-range tanks, while rear loads include drawer systems, rear bars, and canopies. It's critical to select spring rates based only on constant (permanent) loads, NOT occasional cargo like camping gear or water that you carry only on specific trips. Selecting spring rates that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality, reduced suspension articulation, and potential stress on other components. Our team can assist with accurate load calculation and spring selection.
A 2-inch lift on the Landcruiser 76 Series typically allows fitment of 33-inch diameter tyres (approximately 285/75R16 or similar sizes) with minimal to no rubbing, depending on wheel offset, tyre brand/model, and whether you've fitted wider aftermarket guards. Some light trimming of plastic inner guard liners may be required at full steering lock and suspension compression, particularly with aggressive tread patterns. For 35-inch tyres or larger, additional modifications such as body lifts, guard trimming, and potentially control arm upgrades would be necessary. Always test-fit tyres with full steering lock and compression (with weight in the vehicle) before committing to a wheel and tyre package. Tyre size also affects gearing, speedo accuracy, and fuel consumption.
Dobinsons suspension products are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with warranty periods varying by component type — shock absorbers typically carry extended warranty coverage due to their precision manufacturing and quality internal components. Warranty coverage requires proof of purchase, professional installation or detailed DIY installation records, and adherence to recommended service intervals and load ratings. The warranty does NOT cover damage from accidents, misuse, overloading beyond GVM, modified components, or wear items subject to normal wear and tear. Always retain your purchase receipt and installation documentation. For specific warranty terms and duration for this kit, contact us or refer to the manufacturer warranty card included with your product.
Yes, while this kit is designed for load-carrying and off-road performance, the Dobinsons twin-tube nitro gas shocks provide a good balance between control and comfort suitable for daily driving. The ride will feel noticeably firmer than factory suspension, particularly when unladen, which is typical and expected for heavy-duty 4WD suspension engineered to handle constant loads and towing. Once you add your typical accessory load (bull bar, winch, roof rack, etc.), the ride quality improves significantly as the springs and shocks operate within their designed range. If maximum unladen comfort is your priority and you rarely carry heavy loads, a softer-valved touring shock or adjustable damping system may be more appropriate. This kit excels when the vehicle is used as intended — as a workhorse tourer or load-carrier.
