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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"\u003eFitting a full kit typically runs \u003cstrong\u003e$750–$950\u003c\/strong\u003e in labour. On LandCruisers and Patrols that need the adjustable arms or caster correction bushes as well, it can go up to \u003cstrong\u003e$1,150\u003c\/strong\u003e. A wheel alignment afterwards is \u003cstrong\u003e$120\u003c\/strong\u003e, and on a lifted vehicle it isn’t optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"\u003eUnit 13, C\/4 Homepride Avenue, Warwick Farm NSW 2170 · \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"tel:0287470325\"\u003e02 8747 0325\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot in Sydney?

Lift height around 4″ (100mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons IMS Monotube Front Shock Absorbers (IMS45-60914)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons 4″ Front Coil Springs (C45-314, C45-316 or C45-100 — matched to your bar and winch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons IMS Monotube Rear Shock Absorbers (IMS45-60913)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons 4″ Rear Coil Springs (C45-107, C45-311T, C45-313T, C45-315T or C45-371T — matched to the load you carry)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanhard rods, sway bar extensions, an adjustable draglink, castor correction bushes and a steering stabiliser can be added from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no CV shafts in the front of a live axle vehicle, so the usual CV boot problem does not apply here. What does change as you lift it is the geometry around the axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaster\u003c\/strong\u003e rolls backwards as the front comes up, and the steering goes light and starts to wander — at 4″ it needs caster correction bushes or plates. The \u003cstrong\u003epanhard rod\u003c\/strong\u003e stays the same length while the axle moves up, so the axle shifts sideways under the body and the stance goes off centre — at 4″ adjustable panhard rods are strongly recommended. \u003cstrong\u003eBrake lines\u003c\/strong\u003e get short and want extending. On a taller lift the \u003cstrong\u003etailshaft angle\u003c\/strong\u003e can bring on a vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heavier rear springs (250-400kg and 550-700kg) are tower-braced springs — Dobinsons recommend tower bracing with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNone of it is difficult, but all of it needs doing properly.
