the new tough dog 45mm adjustable 2" lift arrived on Tuesday and my dad and I are gonna instal them on the 105 this weekend, the car already has a 2" lift but the shocks and coils are from 2007 and the seals are the equivalent to a piece of PVC pipe and the left front corner is sitting 4cm lower than the rest of the car lol
Another informative Video Will, seeing how it all works and comes apart and how it has turned into a family job is great to see. Looking forward to future vids
Cheers for that! It’s a long-term project haha. Just slowly adding more as I earn the money! And nah so it’s still a 2 inch lift, but because the old springs had sagged so much, it ended up being 4 inches higher than what it was
Awesome video. Thank you! What spring weights did you go with? Linear or progress? Could you please share Dobinson Part Numbers? Also, yes please do a comparison video btw the mono and twin tubes from Dobinson.
Another Good video young Will. Note generally you measure your height from centre wheel hub to wheel arch. We are waiting to do lift/GVM at same time. As our rig is same year and setup almost, with drawers, front bar etc. I'm curious what heights you have now hub to arch/front and rear. I haven't been able to find what the factory measurement's were from new, thus curious how much ours has dropped after 350k
Hello Sir. I want to add 2 inches of Dobinson lift kit in front and rear to my Prado 150. Should I get Dobinsons IMS or the regular yellow ones? Do I need to get spacers as Prado leans on sharp turns or roundabouts? What should be the front springs- C59-352? Rear Springs C59-325? Front Shocks IMS59-50700 Rear Shocks IMS59-50705. Sorry for asking a long question.
Yes definitely recommend caster correction. Wheel alignment showed my caster was just in spec with those corrected bushes. Very hard to get it perfect on live axle but really makes them ride better
That’s the difference between the 100 series and the 105 mate. The 100 series is a newer model, slightly wider chassis, and it has independent front suspension as opposed to the live axle in the 105
Hey mate- 2 years on I still find them pretty great! They really shine on dirt roads with potholes and corrugations. Pretty comfy on the bitumen and no troubles 4WDing. I think they’re a “firmer” shockie and if you’re doing more touring/town driving/highway k’s then you’d probably find the twin tubes more comfortable
Yes the sway bars are still in and there doesn’t seem to be any stress on them so far. Dobinsons say that sway bar extensions for a 2” lift isn’t necessary
Hi mate, i just got the 2 inch dobinson lift which they are installing, i asked specifically about castor correction to which they insisted isnt needed on the 105 ?
I drove this for a bit without caster correction and then I changed the bushes and there was a major difference. With my knowledge now I would encourage you to get corrected radius arms rather than just put corrected poly bushes in. It’ll be better and better lasting in the long run
@@WillsLandcruiserthanks pal. i had the lift installed, now it's wandering a bit on the road. would you recommend the superior engineering superflex radius arms 2 inch castor correction ? They are a bit pricey at around $1600 but im fine with that.
@@jcproductions007 I don’t have any experience with them myself, but it is a way better idea to go for corrected radius arms rather than just corrected bushes. Mine wanders a bit too. Definitely get a wheel alignment after lifting, and if you’re still having trouble try some heavy duty sway bars
More noticeable than I thought it may have been, that’s for sure! I’ve got a bit of a crook back at the moment so it was actually a real climb to get in the first time haha
"this is norman being a spastic". i was laughing my ass off when you said that

Good to see the whole family helping out! Definitely looks a lot better with the new suspension 👍
Thanks for the sharing Will’s Landcruiser Mods I’m attempting the 2” lift kit in coming weeks great detailed video 👍
Another informative Video Will, seeing how it all works and comes apart and how it has turned into a family job is great to see. Looking forward to future vids
Your car is getting better every time I watch your video’s great job. Just a question because it’s lifted 4 inches does it need to be engineered
Cheers for that! It’s a long-term project haha. Just slowly adding more as I earn the money! And nah so it’s still a 2 inch lift, but because the old springs had sagged so much, it ended up being 4 inches higher than what it was
Excelente video gracias faltó la barra estabilizadora o no hace falta? De nuevo muchas cracias
Awesome video. Thank you! What spring weights did you go with? Linear or progress? Could you please share Dobinson Part Numbers? Also, yes please do a comparison video btw the mono and twin tubes from Dobinson.
Looks good mate 👍
my word the tyres look small after the lift aha. Good job mate
They really do, don’t they? 😂 Keen for some 285/75s sometime! Cheers mate!
Love your vids. I have the exact same cruiser. Same year (1998) and model (105) and turbo kit. Your vids help me heaps. Thanks for the info
@@WillsLandcruiser I would recommend 305/70 over 285/75
Love the vids keep it up mate
Nice mate!

Hey mate, thanks for that! It’s now about 630mm from centre of hub to wheel arch at back and about 600mm at front! Hope this helps!
What weight springs have you used front and back?
Hi great video 📹
How was the dobinson coil? Is it good, thanks
Dont have much to compare them too, but they’re holding up really well thanks! A really strong comfortable setup
What about the dobibsin brake bias bracket..
Yo también subí 2" mí Lexus LX 470
Did you need to change the panhard rod in the rear to an adjustable one?
Hello Sir.
I want to add 2 inches of Dobinson lift kit in front and rear to my Prado 150.
Should I get Dobinsons IMS or the regular yellow ones?
Do I need to get spacers as Prado leans on sharp turns or roundabouts?
What should be the front springs- C59-352?
Rear Springs C59-325?
Front Shocks IMS59-50700
Rear Shocks IMS59-50705.
Sorry for asking a long question.
do you need to change the castors on coils lifts only or leafs as well?
Yes definitely recommend caster correction. Wheel alignment showed my caster was just in spec with those corrected bushes. Very hard to get it perfect on live axle but really makes them ride better
@@WillsLandcruiser where’d u get the castors and correction template?
@@snagger5150 Dobinsons sent the corrected bushes and I found the template online somewhere
Why do my 1998 LC100 doesn’t have coils in front? It is torsion bars only…
That’s the difference between the 100 series and the 105 mate. The 100 series is a newer model, slightly wider chassis, and it has independent front suspension as opposed to the live axle in the 105
May i konw the price please ?
Hey Bud, 2 years on how do you find the IMS shocks?
Hey mate- 2 years on I still find them pretty great! They really shine on dirt roads with potholes and corrugations. Pretty comfy on the bitumen and no troubles 4WDing. I think they’re a “firmer” shockie and if you’re doing more touring/town driving/highway k’s then you’d probably find the twin tubes more comfortable
Do you still have your sway bars installed? and does that affect the drivability on and offroad? cheers mate!
Yes the sway bars are still in and there doesn’t seem to be any stress on them so far. Dobinsons say that sway bar extensions for a 2” lift isn’t necessary
Now for bigger tyres
Definitely 🙌🏼

Hi mate
I have 285/75/16 on my LC how can I tell if I have a lift kit on it what should I measure and what hight is standars suspension
Thanks
Standard suspension height on a 105 is 546mm from wheel centre to wheel arch, front and rear. Hope this helps mate
@@WillsLandcruiser thanks bro
Did you add extended brake lines for the lift?
And if you did was it necessary for a 2 inch lift
Dobinsons reckoned it wasn’t necessary to extend brake lines or sway bars for a 2” lift so I didn’t. No problems so far
@@WillsLandcruiser awesome 👌

@@WillsLandcruiser thx mate. Appreciate the input
This is the most fucked process ever, i just gave up and got a mechanic to do it
Do u still have the 105?
I absolutely do!
Price of this 2 inch kit
like 1500 ish
How noticable was the step up into the cruiser after the lift?
More noticeable than I thought it may have been, that’s for sure! I’ve got a bit of a crook back at the moment so it was actually a real climb to get in the first time haha
Ay spik le français
Hey will I’ve just got a 1HD-FTE cruiser with ifs and can’t find rims for it anywhere! Any help would be great
