Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. When ordering, choose your spring rates based on constant accessory load only — the weight permanently carried on your vehicle such as bull bars, winches, steel trays, canopies, drawer systems, roof racks, long-range fuel tanks and dual battery systems. Do not factor in occasional loads like camping gear, tools or passengers, as these are temporary variables. Front constant loads typically include bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-45kg), upgraded bumpers and lighting, while rear constant loads include canopies (70-120kg), steel trays, drawer systems (40-80kg), auxiliary fuel tanks and tray-mounted tool boxes. Overestimating your load and selecting springs that are too heavy will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear to suspension components including bushings and shock mounts.
This lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY capability with appropriate workshop equipment including spring compressors, jack stands and torque wrenches. A complete four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure proper steering geometry, tyre wear patterns and vehicle handling characteristics. All suspension components require a 500-kilometre break-in period during which springs will settle to their final height and bushings will seat properly — recheck all fastener torque specifications after this initial period. For vehicles with increased lift and modified suspension geometry, we strongly recommend upgrading to aftermarket control arms to correct camber and caster angles, restore optimal CV joint angles, and maximize the lifespan of drivetrain components.

This Nitro Gas lift kit is ideal for Mitsubishi Triton MQ-MR owners who require a balanced suspension upgrade for diverse applications including daily commuting, weekend touring, caravan and trailer towing, trades use with constant payload, and moderate off-road recreational driving. The 30mm lift height provides improved ground clearance for beach driving, fire trails and station tracks without creating excessive centre of gravity concerns for highway touring. Tradies carrying constant loads like tool boxes, ladders and equipment will appreciate the enhanced load capacity and reduced rear squat, while touring families towing caravans between 2000-3000kg can benefit from the improved stability and control under load — though heavy towers should also consider supplementary airbag suspension for ultimate load levelling and adjustability. The twin-tube design prioritizes comfort and compliance for sealed road driving while still delivering capable off-road performance for the 80% of owners who spend most of their time on bitumen.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Mitsubishi Triton MQ series (2015-2018) and MR series (2019-2024) models including GLX, GLX+, GLS and Exceed variants in dual cab, single cab and club cab body styles. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points with no modifications required. If you have added aftermarket accessories like bull bars, winches or canopies, please contact our team to confirm the appropriate spring rates for your specific constant load requirements. Our parts finder tool can also help verify exact fitment for your vehicle's build date and specification.
This Dobinsons kit delivers 30mm (approximately 1.2 inches) of lift at both the front and rear of your Triton MQ-MR when measured from standard ride height. The lift is achieved through raised coil springs at the front and raised leaf springs at the rear, both engineered to maintain proper suspension geometry and ride quality. Actual installed height can vary by 5-10mm depending on constant accessory weight, with heavier constant loads like bull bars and canopies compressing springs slightly more. All springs require a 500km break-in period to settle to their final operating height, so expect a slight reduction from initial installation height.
This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x raised front coil springs (30mm lift), 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x raised rear leaf springs (30mm lift), 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts for leaf spring installation, and 1 x polyurethane bush kit with natural rubber bushings. All necessary mounting hardware is supplied for a complete installation. Please note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, and diff drop kits are not included but may be recommended depending on your vehicle's specific setup and intended use — contact our team for a comprehensive upgrade recommendation tailored to your Triton.
Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit significantly improves towing performance compared to factory suspension through enhanced spring rates, larger shock body design with increased oil capacity, and vehicle-specific valving that better controls body roll and rear squat under tow ball load. The twin-tube gas shock design with premium Fuchs oil maintains consistent damping performance even when heat builds up during extended highway towing. For optimal towing setup with caravans over 2500kg or if you frequently tow near your vehicle's maximum capacity, we recommend supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for additional load levelling capability and the ability to fine-tune rear ride height based on tow ball weight.
While upper control arm replacement is not mandatory for a 30mm lift on the Triton MQ-MR, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to restore optimal suspension geometry, correct camber and caster angles, and maximize the lifespan of CV joints and ball joints. A 30mm lift places your suspension geometry outside factory specifications, which can lead to accelerated tyre wear, reduced steering precision, and increased stress on front driveline components. Aftermarket adjustable upper control arms allow proper wheel alignment to be achieved and maintained, particularly important if you're running larger tyres or frequently driving on corrugated roads. Contact our team to discuss compatible control arm options for your Triton MQ-MR.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit including this Dobinsons system. The 30mm lift changes your Triton's suspension geometry including camber, caster and toe angles, all of which directly affect tyre wear patterns, steering feel, vehicle stability and component longevity. Most independent suspension vehicles including the Triton MQ-MR experience camber and caster changes when lifted, requiring professional alignment equipment to restore angles to within safe operating specifications. We recommend using an alignment shop experienced with lifted 4WDs who understands the different target specifications required versus standard vehicles. A second alignment check after the initial 500km break-in period is also advisable as springs settle.
Yes, spring rate selection is a critical part of ordering this kit and must be based on your vehicle's constant accessory load — the permanent weight of accessories fitted to your Triton such as bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, roof racks and auxiliary fuel tanks. During checkout, you'll select front and rear spring rates that correspond to your measured constant load in the relevant areas. It's essential to be honest and accurate with this selection: choosing springs that are too soft will result in excessive sag and bottoming out, while selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will create an unnecessarily harsh ride and may damage other suspension components through excessive pre-load. Our team can assist with calculating your constant load if you're unsure.
A 30mm lift on the Mitsubishi Triton MQ-MR provides sufficient clearance for a modest tyre size increase, typically allowing you to move from the factory 265/65R17 (approximately 31 inches) to around 265/70R17 or 275/65R18 (approximately 32 inches) without significant rubbing issues during full steering lock or suspension compression. However, tyre fitment depends on several variables including wheel offset, backspacing, tyre brand (some brands run wider or taller than their stated size), and whether you're running a bull bar or aftermarket front bumper. Some minor trimming of plastic wheel arch liners may be required for 32-inch tyres, particularly during articulation off-road. For larger tyres beyond 33 inches, additional lift and possible body modifications would be required.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension products are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, reflecting their confidence in 60+ years of manufacturing expertise and quality control processes including TS16949 certification. Warranty terms vary by component type and application, with shock absorbers and springs typically covered for manufacturing defects when used within their designed parameters. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper spring rate selection for your actual load, mandatory wheel alignment, and normal usage conditions as outlined in product documentation. To validate your warranty and discuss specific terms for your application, retain your proof of purchase and contact our team who can facilitate warranty claims directly with Dobinsons Australia if any issues arise.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons Nitro Gas twin-tube design is specifically engineered to balance off-road capability with excellent on-road comfort, making it ideal for Triton owners who primarily drive on sealed roads but want improved capability for weekend adventures, beach access, or light trail work. The twin-tube gas shock architecture prioritizes compliance and damping consistency across a wide range of speeds, providing a more comfortable daily driving experience compared to remote reservoir or monotube designs which can feel firmer at low speeds. The vehicle-specific valving is tuned for the Triton's weight distribution and suspension geometry, meaning you'll experience controlled body roll during cornering, minimal nose dive under braking, and composed highway cruising even with moderate loads onboard or when towing.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Triton
Had the Dobinsons nitro gas lift kit fitted to our MR Triton before our recent trip down to Wilsons Prom and couldn't be happier with the results. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated roads, and it handles the extra weight of our rooftop tent and camping gear without any drama. Really impressed with how well these shocks have transformed the whole setup - the kids in the back even commented on the difference!(5)
