Dobinsons is one of Australia's most trusted names in 4WD suspension, engineered to handle everything from daily highway driving to the toughest outback trails. Whether you're touring remote Australia, towing a caravan, or tackling corrugated desert tracks, Dobinsons suspension systems deliver proven performance and durability. 4WD Suspension is a proud authorised Dobinsons stockist, offering genuine Australian products backed by full manufacturer warranty and expert fitment advice.
Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Rockhampton, Queensland, Dobinsons Spring & Suspension is an Australian family-owned company that has been manufacturing coil springs and leaf springs for Australian conditions for over 70 years. That local engineering heritage is why Dobinsons kits are matched to Australian GVM rules, Australian load patterns and Australian corrugations.
The premium Dobinsons MRA range features 3-way adjustable remote reservoir shocks with independent compression and rebound tuning, letting you dial the ride between unloaded daily driving and a fully loaded touring setup. MRA is the pick for 200 Series and 300 Series Landcruiser, late-model utes and serious remote tourers. Many MRA kits are height-adjustable between 2" and 3", so one kit covers you before and after accessories are fitted.
Dobinsons IMS (Internal floating piston Monotube Suspension) sits between nitro gas and MRA: a large-bore monotube with a threaded, height-adjustable spring seat but no external damping clickers. IMS runs cooler and more consistently on long corrugated stretches than a twin-tube, making it a favourite for heavy tourers on the Hilux N80, Prado 150, Isuzu D-Max and Colorado RG.
For everyday driving and touring value, Dobinsons nitro gas twin-tube shocks and struts are the workhorse of the range, engineered for constant load variation across the entire Hilux N70/N80 range, Ford Ranger PX/Next Gen, Triton, Patrol, 79 Series and dozens more platforms.
Every Dobinsons lift kit we sell pairs shocks with Dobinsons coil springs or leaf springs selected for your accessory load — from standard height through to heavy constant-load springs for bullbar, winch, canopy and towing setups. Springs are rated to carry the advertised lift at their stated constant load, which is why we ask about your accessories before recommending a spring rate.

Yes. Dobinsons is highly regarded among Australian 4WD owners for build quality, durability, and real-world performance. Their nitro gas shocks offer excellent value for touring and general use, while the MRA adjustable range competes with premium international brands. Thousands of Dobinsons kits are fitted across Australia every year on work trucks, touring rigs, and weekend warriors. The brand's longevity in the Australian market reflects consistent quality and reliable warranty support.
Nitro gas shocks are twin-tube design, great for general touring and daily driving with good ride quality and load handling. IMS (monotube internal floating piston) offers better heat management and more consistent damping under heavy use — ideal for constant towing or corrugated roads, with height adjustment via a threaded spring seat. MRA adjustable remote reservoir shocks are the premium choice, with independent compression and rebound adjustment, remote reservoirs for maximum heat dissipation, and tuning flexibility for varying loads and terrain. Your choice depends on budget, vehicle use, and performance expectations.
