Choose the Medium Duty (0-50kg) rear coil if your Prado carries a bull bar and light drawer setup, or the Heavy Duty (50-100kg) rear coil if you're running a bull bar, winch, drawers, fridge, rooftop tent and towing a camper trailer or caravan. Common accessories that shift the required spring rate include bull bars and winches up front, and drawer systems, dual batteries, water tanks and tow ball weight at the rear. If you're unsure which rate suits your setup, our team can work out the right combination based on your fitted and planned accessories.
Fitment is best handled by an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident DIY installer with basic suspension tools, given the coil spring compression and shock mounting involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the nitro gas shocks and coil springs to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and load. Pairing the kit with upgraded control arms corrects CV joint and camber angles that shift once the Prado sits 2" higher.
Dobinsons has been manufacturing suspension since the 1960s and engineers this kit around the specific weight distribution and geometry of the Prado 150 chassis rather than a one-size-fits-all shock. Kits are backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, with 4WD Suspension providing local fitment advice and stock held in Australia for fast dispatch. Tourers and tradespeople running this kit get a setup tuned for both daily bitumen driving and loaded touring work — view the full Dobinsons range for other Prado-specific components.
This kit suits Prado 150 owners who tow a camper trailer or caravan, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, and grey nomads packing for extended remote touring. If your accessory load varies trip to trip — empty for the school run, loaded for a lap — pairing this kit with airbag suspension gives you adjustable extra support only when you need it.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit (SKU DP150S99N) is designed specifically for the Toyota Prado 150 Series, covering 2009-2023 including the 2015 facelift with the 1GD-FTV 2.8L engine and earlier 1KD-FTV 3.0L and 1GR-FE 4.0L V6 petrol variants. The coil springs and shock valving are matched to this chassis rather than a generic Prado application. If you're unsure of your exact build or engine, contact our team with your VIN or compliance plate details and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear on the Prado 150, achieved through matched coil springs and correspondingly valved nitro gas shock absorbers. The front and rear are designed to lift evenly so the Prado sits level rather than nose-down or tail-high. This is enough to clear common 4WD touring tracks while keeping the factory driveline angles workable, particularly when paired with upgraded control arms.
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 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front shocks, 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shocks, 2 x front coil springs and 2 x rear coil springs at your selected spring rate, plus front and rear bump stops and the mounting hardware required to fit them. Fitting instructions are included in the box. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately, as most Prado 150 owners fit them at the same time to correct geometry at ride height.
Yes, the Heavy Duty (50-100kg) rear coil spring option in this kit is specifically for Prado owners towing a camper trailer or caravan, or running a loaded accessory setup. The nitro gas rear shocks are matched to that heavier spring rate to control the extra load without excessive body movement. If your tow ball weight varies significantly load to load, ask our team about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable extra support.
We recommend it. At a 2" lift, the Prado 150's factory upper control arms run the CV joints and camber outside their ideal working angle, which can accelerate wear on ball joints and CV boots. Upgraded control arms restore correct camber and CV angle at the new ride height. They're sold separately from this kit so you can choose the arm type that suits your budget and use case.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber, caster and toe settings, and running the vehicle without a proper alignment will cause uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs and shocks have settled.
Yes, this kit is available with Medium Duty (0-50kg) or Heavy Duty (50-100kg) constant load rear coil springs, so you can match the spring rate to your typical accessory and touring load rather than accepting a single generic rate. Front spring rates are matched to common front accessories like bull bars and winches. Talk to our team about your loaded weight if you're not sure which rear rate to select.
A 2" lift on the Prado 150 typically provides enough clearance for a modest tyre size increase over factory, commonly up to around 33" depending on wheel offset and whether flares or trimming are used. Exact clearance depends on your wheel width and offset, so we recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team before ordering. Pairing the lift with correctly set up control arms also helps maintain clearance through suspension travel.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs. 4WD Suspension also provides fitment support from our Australian team if you have questions before or after installation. Keep your invoice from us as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the twin-tube nitro gas shocks and vehicle-specific coil springs in this kit are tuned to keep sealed-road ride quality close to factory while adding the ground clearance and payload capacity most Prado owners want for touring. Many owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both the daily commute and weekend trips. Selecting the correct spring rate for your typical accessory load helps keep the ride balanced rather than firm or soft-feeling on bitumen.
