Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your rear leaf spring load rating based on the constant weight you carry, not just the heaviest load you'll ever haul. A tray, canopy, dual battery tray, water tank, drawers and bar work all add constant load that the spring has to support every day. Front coil spring selection should account for a winch, bull bar and driving lights, since these sit ahead of the front axle and load the front spring constantly.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a competent DIY mechanic with hoist access and spring compressors for the front struts. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling period for the springs to seat before final ride height is assessed. If you're running 3" of lift, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms corrects front CV angles and restores suspension travel.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension for the Australian market for decades, developing and testing kits locally under real touring and towing conditions. This Nitro Gas kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, and our team can confirm current warranty terms before you buy. Tradespeople and tourers running the Hilux N80 rely on Dobinsons for a kit that handles daily payload and corrugated tracks without a harsh ride; view the full Dobinsons range for other N80 options.
This kit suits Hilux N80 owners who tow a van or trailer regularly, tradies carrying tools and equipment in a canopy or tray, and grey nomads touring with a camper or rooftop tent. If your accessory load varies significantly trip to trip, our airbag suspension options can be added to the rear leaf springs for adjustable extra support on demand.
This kit is dispatched from Australian stock with expert fitment support from our team. Browse our full lift kit range or use our parts finder for the Hilux N80 to check compatible components before you order.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is designed specifically for the Toyota Hilux N80 built from 2015 onward, covering Workhorse, SR, SR5, Rogue and Rugged X variants across 2.4L and 2.8L turbo diesel and 2.7L and 4.0L petrol engines. If you have a specific option pack or GVM upgrade fitted, check with our team first. Use the parts finder linked on this page to confirm your exact build. We can also check your VIN against current fitment notes before you order.
This kit provides a 2" to 3" lift front and rear on the Hilux N80, depending on the coil and leaf spring combination selected. The 41mm bore nitro gas struts and shocks are valved to suit the raised ride height rather than just longer standard units. Actual ride height also depends on vehicle weight and accessories already fitted. Our team can help you pick the combination that lands closest to your target height.
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 nitro gas struts, 2 rear nitro gas shock absorbers, 2 progressive-rate coil springs and 2 raised leaf springs, along with U-bolts, mounting bushes and fitting hardware. Full contents are listed in the Kit Includes section on this page. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need them for a 3" lift. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
Yes, the rear leaf springs are available in multiple constant load ratings so you can select a rate that suits regular towing with a van or trailer. The rear shocks are valved to work with the higher spring rate, keeping the rear settled under tow ball weight. Front coil springs should also be matched if you're carrying a winch or heavy bar work. Talk to our team about your typical loaded weight before choosing a spring rate.
At 2" of lift most N80 Hilux owners run comfortably on factory control arms. At 3" of lift, upgraded control arms are recommended to correct front CV joint angles and restore suspension droop travel. Our control arm range includes options built for lifted N80 Hilux applications. This isn't compulsory at 2" but it does improve component life at the higher lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Camber, caster and toe all change once the vehicle sits at the new ride height, and an alignment brings these back within factory tolerance. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel and CV joint life. We recommend booking an alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km spring settling period.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are available in multiple constant load ratings to suit different accessory and towing loads. Front coil springs are matched to common front-end accessory combinations such as a bull bar and winch. Our team can recommend a spring rate based on what you carry day to day, not just your maximum occasional load. Getting this right keeps the Hilux sitting level front to rear.
A 2" to 3" lift on the Hilux N80 typically clears larger tyre sizes than standard, though the exact size depends on wheel offset, tray or tub fitment and whether guard trimming is done. Many N80 owners running this lift height fit 32 to 33 inch tyres without major rubbing. Going larger often needs guard trimming or a wheel spacer to maintain clearance. Confirm your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any extra parts needed.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering the struts, shocks and springs against manufacturing defects. Warranty terms can vary by component, so contact our team for the current written terms before you buy. We handle warranty claims through our Australian-based support, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier directly. Keep your invoice from 4WD Suspension as proof of purchase.
Yes, the progressive-rate coil springs and nitro gas shock valving are set up to stay comfortable unladen, which suits daily driving as well as towing and touring. Ride quality does depend on selecting a spring rate that matches your typical load rather than the heaviest possible load. Overly stiff springs for an unladen daily driver will feel harsh, so speak with our team about your everyday use before choosing your spring option. Once aligned, the N80 handles predictably on-road at this lift height.
