Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Choose your spring rate based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads or towing weight. Common front accessories include bull bars, winches, heavy-duty batteries, long-range fuel tanks and driving lights. Rear constant loads include drawer systems, dual battery setups, canopies, water tanks, tool boxes and roof racks. During checkout, select only your current constant load — choosing too heavy a spring rate will result in harsh ride quality and may cause premature wear to other suspension components. If you frequently tow or carry occasional loads, consider supplementary airbag suspension rather than over-springing your vehicle.
This lift kit is designed for professional installation or experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools and safety equipment. The pre-assembled front struts significantly reduce installation complexity compared to traditional kits requiring strut spring compression. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, tyre wear and handling characteristics. All Dobinsons suspension kits require a 500km break-in period where springs will settle to their final ride height — avoid maximum loads during this period. For vehicles with significant lift or heavy constant loads, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle and maintain optimal steering performance and tyre wear patterns.
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 headquarters. Every shock absorber and spring is designed by in-house engineers using state-of-the-art dyno testing and custom-built durability testing equipment that simulates millions of cycles under extreme temperatures and loads. Dobinsons products are trusted by Australian tradespeople, touring families and serious off-roaders who demand reliability in the harshest conditions. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for complementary upgrades including monotube and MRA adjustable shock absorbers.
This Nitro Gas Quick Lift Kit is ideal for Hilux N70 owners seeking improved ground clearance, better load handling and enhanced off-road capability without compromising daily driving comfort. It's perfect for tradespeople carrying constant tool and equipment loads, weekend warriors with camper setups, and touring families who need reliable suspension for remote travel. Caravan and trailer towers will appreciate the improved rear suspension control and reduced sag under tow ball weight. For those carrying variable loads or frequently towing heavy trailers, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension systems for infinitely adjustable load support and level towing stance.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N70 models manufactured between 2005 and 2015, including SR, SR5, Workmate and all other variants. The pre-assembled front struts, rear shocks and extended shackles are designed as direct bolt-in replacements for the factory suspension components. To confirm exact fitment for your specific build date and variant, use our Toyota Hilux N70 parts finder tool or contact our suspension experts with your VIN number. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment and optimal performance.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas Quick Lift Kit typically provides approximately 40-50mm of lift at the front (depending on spring rate selected and constant accessory load) and 40-50mm at the rear through the combination of extended shackles and improved shock performance. Final ride height will vary based on your vehicle's constant accessory load, including bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems and roof racks. Heavier constant loads will compress springs more, reducing effective lift height. All suspension systems require a 500km settling period before final ride height is achieved. For precise lift measurements specific to your setup, consult with our suspension specialists during your spring rate selection.
This kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas pre-assembled front struts (complete with raised coil springs and top mounts already installed), 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x extended rear shackles, and all necessary mounting hardware and bushings. The pre-assembled front struts save significant installation time by eliminating the need for dangerous spring compression during fitment. Note that some vehicles may require additional U-bolts or chassis-specific hardware depending on configuration. Upgraded components like control arms, differential drop brackets, extended brake lines and sway bar links are sold separately but may be recommended depending on your lift height and vehicle usage.
Yes, this Nitro Gas lift kit significantly improves towing performance compared to factory suspension, with vehicle-specific valving designed to control loaded and towing conditions. The larger bore shock absorbers and increased oil capacity reduce shock fade under sustained loads, while the raised coil springs and extended shackles help maintain ride height when carrying tow ball weight. However, the spring rate you select should be based on your constant accessory load only, not towing weight. For frequent heavy towing or variable loads, we strongly recommend supplementing this kit with airbag suspension which allows you to adjust rear support based on actual load, maintaining level stance and optimal handling under all towing conditions.
While this lift kit will install using factory control arms, upgrading to heavy-duty aftermarket control arms is highly recommended for optimal steering geometry, improved durability and better off-road performance. Lifting your Hilux N70 affects castor angle and ball joint angles, which can impact steering feel, tyre wear patterns and handling characteristics. Upgraded control arms restore correct suspension geometry, provide greater articulation for off-road travel, and feature stronger construction with heavy-duty bushings and ball joints. For vehicles used in demanding conditions, fitted with larger tyres, or carrying significant constant loads, control arm upgrades should be considered essential rather than optional for safety and component longevity.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Toyota Hilux N70. Changing suspension ride height alters critical steering and suspension geometry including castor, camber and toe settings, which directly affect tyre wear, steering response and vehicle handling. A professional alignment technician should set your Hilux to manufacturer specifications or recommended lifted vehicle settings depending on your tyre size and intended use. Failure to perform proper wheel alignment after lift kit installation will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues. Budget for professional alignment as part of your installation costs.
Yes, Dobinsons offers multiple spring rate options for both front and rear to accommodate different constant accessory loads on your Hilux N70. During checkout, you'll select spring rates based on your vehicle's permanent weight additions such as bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems and roof racks. It's critical that you select spring rates based only on constant loads that are permanently installed on your vehicle — not occasional cargo or towing weight. Front spring rate selection typically accounts for bull bars, winches and long-range fuel tanks, while rear spring rate considers canopies, drawers, dual batteries and water tanks. Selecting too heavy a spring rate will result in harsh ride quality and may damage other suspension components.
This lift kit will improve clearance for larger tyres on your Hilux N70, typically allowing an increase of 1-2 inches in tyre diameter over stock without rubbing under normal driving conditions. However, exact tyre fitment depends on several factors including wheel offset, tyre width, tread pattern design, and whether you install additional modifications like wheel spacers or guard trimming. Most Hilux N70 owners can fit 32-33 inch tyres with this lift height, though some minor trimming of plastic guard liners may be required for full articulation during extreme off-road travel. For specific tyre size recommendations based on your wheel specifications and intended use, contact our suspension experts who can provide detailed fitment advice.
All Dobinsons suspension components are covered by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for your investment in quality Australian-engineered suspension. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper vehicle alignment after fitment, and use within the product's designed load and application parameters. Dobinsons has been manufacturing premium suspension for over 60 years and stands behind their products with responsive warranty support. Warranty terms may vary between components (shocks, springs, hardware) so retain your purchase documentation and installation receipts. For specific warranty details and claims procedures, refer to the documentation included with your kit or contact our team.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort for daily driving while also providing the capability needed for weekend off-road adventures and load carrying.

The raised coil springs maintain good compliance over road imperfections while controlling body roll and squat under load. This balanced approach makes the kit ideal for tradies using their Hilux as a daily driver, families touring on sealed and unsealed roads, and anyone seeking improved capability without sacrificing everyday comfort.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons lift kit on my N70 for 18 months now, covering everything from the Simpson Desert to Cape York. The pre-assembled struts made installation straightforward, and the ride quality loaded up with camping gear and long-range tanks is genuinely impressive—no harshness on corrugations. Worth every cent for anyone doing proper outback work, not just mall crawling.(5)
Perfect Setup for Family Beach Trips
Fitted this quick lift kit to our 2012 Hilux before our annual Fraser Island run and the difference is night and day. The pre-assembled struts made installation straightforward, and the ride quality is noticeably smoother even when fully loaded with camping gear and the boat. We've done a couple of Cape York trips since then and the extra clearance has been brilliant for creek crossings and rocky sections. Couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the rig for weekend touring.(5)
