Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and vehicle safety. Spring rates should be selected based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads. Common constant loads for the front include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, spotlights, and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads typically include drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, roof-top tents (weight on chassis), water tanks, and permanently mounted recovery gear. Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or items carried only sometimes should NOT be factored into spring rate selection. Selecting springs that are too heavy will result in a harsh ride, increased wear on suspension components, and poor on-road comfort. During checkout, you'll be prompted to select your front and rear spring rates based on your vehicle's constant accessory weight — choose accurately for best results.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety. While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools can install this kit, wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper steering geometry. A 500km break-in period is required for springs and shocks to settle and achieve their final ride height — ride quality will improve noticeably during this period as components bed in. For 76 Series Landcruisers fitted with heavy bull bars or running larger lifts, we recommend pairing this kit with aftermarket upper control arms to correct castor angle and maintain factory steering feel and stability. Extended brake lines may also be required depending on your vehicle's existing configuration.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension has been manufacturing premium suspension components in Australia for over 60 years, exporting to more than 40 countries worldwide from their Australian head office. Every Dobinsons shock absorber and spring is designed by in-house engineers using state-of-the-art dyno testing and custom-built durability testing machines that simulate millions of kilometres of outback corrugations, extreme heat, and subzero conditions. This real-world Australian testing ensures Dobinsons products outperform and outlast competitors, making them the trusted choice for touring enthusiasts, remote-area workers, and tradespeople who demand reliability. Dobinsons backs their products with comprehensive warranty coverage and is committed to quality at every stage of design and manufacturing.

This Dobinsons Nitro Gas lift kit is ideal for Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series owners who tour remote Australia, tow heavy caravans or trailers, carry significant camping and recovery gear, or need increased ground clearance for off-road work and exploration. It's particularly well-suited for tradespeople using Troop Carriers and cab chassis models for daily work duties while also wanting weekend touring capability. If you regularly carry extremely heavy loads or tow near GVM limits, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for the rear axle to provide on-demand load support and maintain level ride height when fully loaded.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2-inch lift kit is specifically engineered to fit all Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series models from 2007 to current, including Wagon, Troop Carrier, and Cab Chassis (single and dual cab) variants. It suits both petrol and diesel engines including the 1VD-FTV V8 turbo diesel and 1HZ models. The kit is a direct bolt-in replacement requiring no modifications to the chassis or body. If you have a heavily modified 76 Series or are unsure about compatibility with specific accessories, contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This Dobinsons kit delivers a 2-inch (50mm) lift over standard ride height when correctly installed and after the 500km settling period. This lift allows you to comfortably fit tyres up to 33 inches in diameter without rubbing under normal driving conditions, significantly improving ground clearance, approach angles, and off-road capability. The actual lift height may vary slightly depending on your vehicle's constant accessory load and the spring rates you select. For 35-inch tyres or more aggressive lift heights, additional modifications such as body lifts, diff drops, or extended radius arms may be required.
This kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front shock absorbers, 2 x front coil springs (multiple rates available), 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x 50mm raised rear leaf springs, 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts, 1 x polyurethane leaf spring bush kit, and all necessary mounting hardware. The kit does NOT include upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop brackets, or steering dampers, which may be required or recommended depending on your vehicle configuration. Spring rates for both front and rear are selectable at checkout to match your constant accessory load.
Absolutely. This Dobinsons kit is specifically designed to improve the Landcruiser 76 Series' already impressive towing capacity by providing firmer, more controlled damping and increased spring rates that resist squat under load. The 50mm raised rear leaf springs and heavy-duty shocks dramatically improve stability when towing caravans, boat trailers, or heavy work trailers up to the vehicle's rated towing capacity. For owners who tow extremely heavy loads regularly or want on-demand load adjustment, we recommend adding airbag suspension to the rear axle to work in conjunction with this lift kit for maximum towing performance and level ride height.
Upper control arms are not mandatory for a 2-inch lift on the 76 Series, but they are highly recommended if your vehicle is fitted with heavy front accessories like a steel bull bar and winch. Aftermarket upper control arms with additional castor adjustment help correct the steering geometry changes that occur with lifted suspension, maintaining factory steering feel, high-speed stability, and reducing steering wander. They also allow for better wheel alignment settings to prevent premature tyre wear. If you plan to add significant front-end weight or notice steering feel changes after installation, budget for quality adjustable upper control arms as your next upgrade.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons kit. Lifting your 76 Series changes the suspension geometry, castor angle, camber, and toe settings, which will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear if not corrected. A qualified 4WD suspension specialist should perform the alignment using a modern alignment machine, adjusting all settings to Dobinsons' recommended specifications for lifted vehicles. We recommend having the alignment checked again after the initial 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled, and then every 10,000-15,000km or after any hard off-road use.
Spring rate selection is based solely on your vehicle's constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle. For the front, measure the combined weight of your bull bar, winch, upgraded bumper, long range tank, heavy-duty battery, and any other permanently fitted accessories. For the rear, include drawer systems, dual batteries, fixed water tanks, roof-top tent (chassis weight only), and permanently mounted gear. Do NOT include passengers, camping gear you remove between trips, or occasional loads when selecting spring rates. During checkout, you'll select front and rear spring rates based on weight categories provided. Choosing springs that are too heavy results in harsh ride quality and component stress, while too-light springs cause sagging and poor handling.
Yes, this 2-inch Dobinsons lift provides sufficient clearance for tyres up to 33 inches in diameter (285/75R16 or 285/70R17) without rubbing during normal on-road driving and moderate off-road articulation. You may experience minor rubbing at full lock or during extreme wheel travel depending on your wheel offset and tyre brand. Some trimming of plastic inner guards or mud flaps may be required for certain tyre and wheel combinations. For 35-inch tyres, additional modifications including body lifts, differential drops, and suspension geometry corrections are usually required. Always test-fit new tyres and wheels with full steering lock and suspension compression before committing to off-road driving.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas lift kit is covered by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Dobinsons shock absorbers typically carry a warranty period that covers failure due to manufacturing defects, seal failure, or premature wear under normal operating conditions. Springs are similarly warranted against sagging or breakage when used within their rated load capacity. Warranty coverage requires proof of purchase, professional installation with correct torque specifications, and use of the product within its designed parameters. Warranty does not cover damage from accidents, misuse, overloading beyond GVM, or modification of components. Contact us for specific warranty terms and registration details.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is absolutely suitable for daily driving and delivers excellent on-road comfort while dramatically improving off-road capability. Dobinsons engineers specifically valve these shocks to provide a balanced ride that's controlled and comfortable on highways and city streets while remaining capable on corrugations, gravel roads, and rough tracks. The twin-tube nitro gas design provides consistent damping without harshness, and the natural rubber bushings reduce noise and vibration. Many Landcruiser 76 owners use this kit on vehicles that serve dual duty as daily drivers and touring rigs. Correct spring rate selection is critical for daily driving comfort — choose rates matched to your actual constant load rather than overestimating.
Solid kit for daily work rig
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift on my 76 for about six months now, carting tools and materials around sites every day plus the odd weekend trip down to the coast. The ride quality is heaps better than the stock setup, especially when loaded up, and everything fitted up perfectly without any dramas. Well worth the money if you're after a proper lift kit that can handle a working vehicle.(5)
Outstanding Performance Through the High Country
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit on my 76 for about 8 months now, covering everything from the Simpson Desert to Cape York's corrugations. The ride quality is genuinely impressive—loaded up with water, fuel and recovery gear, the nitro shocks handle washboard roads far better than my previous setup. Fitment was spot-on with quality hardware throughout, and it's transformed how the old girl handles both on corrugations and articulation over rocks.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit to our 76 Series about three months back and it's been brilliant for our regular trips down to the Victorian High Country. The ride quality is noticeably better than the old setup, especially when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Installation was straightforward with everything included in the kit, and the nitro gas shocks have handled everything from corrugated tracks to beach sand without any dramas.(5)
Perfect upgrade for my Troopy
Just finished installing this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit on my 76 Series and the difference is night and day. Took it out to the Simpson Desert last month and the ride quality over corrugations was significantly better than the old setup, plus the extra clearance came in handy more than once. The blokes at 4WD Suspension Australia had it delivered quickly and everything fitted perfectly with no dramas.(5)
