Fitted by mechanics, not just bolted on.
MyTuff4x4 is backed by MB Mechanical Repairs, a full mechanical workshop in Warwick Farm, in the trade since 2011. When we fit a lift kit we look at the whole vehicle, not just the springs and shocks: the CV angles, ball joints, bushes and steering that a lift puts extra strain on. If something is worn, or won’t suit the height you’re after, we tell you before you find out on the track.
Fitting a full kit typically runs $750–$950 in labour. A wheel alignment afterwards is $120, and on a lifted vehicle it isn’t optional.
Unit 13, C/4 Homepride Avenue, Warwick Farm NSW 2170 · 02 8747 0325
Not in Sydney? You’re still buying from mechanics. We fit these kits in our own workshop, so if you’re unsure about load ratings, lift height or what else your car will need, call 02 8747 0325 and talk to someone who does the job.
Monotube suspension kit — made to suit the Toyota Hilux N70. Lift height around 2″.
A monotube runs a single tube with the oil and gas separated by a floating piston. That allows a bigger piston and much better heat rejection than a twin tube, which is what keeps the damping honest when the going gets rough.
What's in the kit
- 2 × Monotube front shock absorbers (3mm steel wall thickness, 50mm bore, variable velocity valving)
- 2 × Dobinsons coilover “C” adjuster spanners
- 2 × Dobinsons front coil springs
Worth knowing before you buy — CV boots
We would rather tell you this up front. On an independent front end, lifting the vehicle makes the CV shafts run at a steeper angle than the factory intended. The first thing to complain is usually the CV boot: it tears, the grease gets thrown out, dirt and water get in, and the joint is not far behind.
A diff drop and front upper control arms are what pull those angles back toward standard, and the taller the lift the more they matter. Check your boots at every service, replace one the moment it splits rather than waiting, do not wind an adjustable front any higher than you actually need, and get the alignment done properly once the springs have settled.
Supply and fit at our own workshop
We are not just an online parts shop. MyTuff4x4 runs a fully equipped mechanical workshop at 13 C/4 Homepride Ave, Warwick Farm NSW 2170, a few minutes from Liverpool in south-west Sydney. Buy the parts here and we will fit them, set the ride height and align it for you, or order and have it sent anywhere in Australia. Call 02 8747 0325 if you want to talk through spring rates for the weight you actually carry before you order.
