Simply unbolt your factory struts and bolt in these pre-assembled units—ready to go straight from our workshop.
Why Choose MRA?
Remote Reservoir Monotube Shocks – Enhanced oil capacity and heat dissipation for superior off-road and heavy-load performance
Adjustable Spring Seat – Fine-tune ride height to suit your driving style and accessories
Direct Bolt-In Fitment – No spring compressors, no fuss. Just install and drive
Ideal for touring setups, serious off-roaders, or anyone wanting the best ride quality and adjustability in a bolt-in solution.
Lift Options
Front lift range: 20mm to 45mm (select based on your spring rate and accessories)
Pre-assembled with lift settings up to 75mm maximum
100mm lift possible with additional components (note: may not meet NZ certification standards and will reduce droop travel)
Important: At 75mm lift, expect firmer ride quality due to limited suspension travel. For optimal comfort and drivability, we recommend a 50mm lift. Contact us if you’re unsure which height is best for your build.
