Dobinsons Pre-Assembled IMS Front Lift Kit – Toyota Hilux Surf / 4Runner (1996–2002 Petrol Models)

Looking for a hassle-free lift for your RZN185 or VZN185 Hilux Surf? The Dobinsons Pre-Assembled IMS Front Lift Kit is the perfect bolt-in upgrade for petrol models—no spring compressors or shop time needed. Just unbolt your factory struts and install these fully assembled units.

This kit delivers better performance, added clearance, and rugged reliability, all thanks to Dobinsons' premium IMS monotube shocks with internal reservoirs and adjustable spring seats—designed to take on New Zealand’s toughest roads.

Key Features

• Suits 1996–2002 petrol model Hilux Surf / 4Runner (RZN185 / VZN185)

• Direct bolt-in installation – pre-assembled in-house for your convenience

• Monotube IMS shock absorbers with internal reservoir for superior heat dissipation and off-road performance

• Adjustable spring seats to fine-tune ride height and handling

• Lift range: 20mm to 45mm depending on spring choice and accessories

Please use the dropdown to select your preferred lift height and spring rate based on your setup (e.g. bull bars, winches, dual batteries).

Important Notes

• Pre-assembly includes lift settings up to 75mm maximum

• A 100mm lift is possible but requires extra components and may not comply with NZ certification standards

• Ride quality becomes noticeably firmer above 75mm due to suspension travel limitations—50mm is the sweet spot for comfort and compliance

• We recommend discussing lift heights with us if you're unsure—especially if comfort or certification is a priority
