Dobinsons 4x4 Accessories are engineered and manufactured to the highest standards.
For vehicle protection, camping, recovery gear, or more storage, we have what you need.
When raised suspension has been fitted to a vehicle it can alter the vehicles suspension, brakes and steering geometry and in some cases this requires additional suspension components to ensure the vehicles handling and performance isn't compromised.
Dobinson’s Aluminium Series Upper Control Arms are engineered to be camber adjustable for those vehicles that need it.
Manufactured from 6082 T6 aluminium, Dobinsons Aluminium UCA’s are designed to be stronger than OEM arms, while also looking good at the same time.
Manufactured with maintenance free rubber bushes and balljoints, providing you with added piece of mind.
Drop forging improves the grain structure of the alloy and is stronger than billet machining, whilst the CNC 5 axis finish provides the perfect finish.
Keeps the arm protected and looking new throughout its life.
Utilising an adjustment sleeve and lock nut allows slight castor adjustments for the ultimate performance.
Dobinson’s Tubular Upper Control Arms are manufactured from 35, 36 and 38mm Chrome-Moly Tubing with an extra thick 5mm wall, for the ultimate in strength and reliability.
When raising an IFS vehicle beyond 2” in the front suspension the wheel alignment geometry prevents a correct wheel alignment being performed.
Dobinsons Upper Control arms are designed with up to 3° increased castor and increased camber to allow the wheel alignment to be corrected at larger lifts.
OEM Quality Natural Rubber Bushings provide silent, maintenance free, long life operation (feature shot of bushes).
555™ OEM quality Ball Joints used where available
Improved design offers increased clearance to suspension components for improved suspension travel.
Raising solid axle vehicles beyond around 2"-3" can causes the axle and wheel to be moved significantly to one side.
Dobinsons range of heavy duty adjustable Panhard Rods suit lifts of 3" to 6" and are made from 32mm 5140 Carbon Chrome High Strength Steel and utilize OEM quality natural rubber bushes for a quiet, noise and maintenance free long life operation and improved articulation.
When raised suspension is fitted to vehicles equipped with a solid axle style front suspension set-up, the castor angle can be altered and can result in a small wobble or shake through the steering. To correct this Dobinsons have a range of OEM quality Rubber Castor Correction Bushes for improved ride and articulation and polyurethane castor correction bushes to return the castor angle to the correct position.
Raising a vehicles suspension can result in some components, such as Sway Bar Links, becoming too short and limiting wheel travel. For this reason Dobinsons have released extended heavy duty Sway Bar Link Extensions with factory style Ball Joints to prevent the clicking and knocking noises associated with spherical joints, for selected models.
For Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61 (GQ/GU) and Toyota Landcruier 80/105 series that have lift kits of between 4 and 6 inches Dobinsons have 5 degree castor plate kits available to correct the castor angle.
Dobinsons have a range of coil strut top caps available for most popular 4x4 models. These can be used to replace the original worn strut top caps or can be fitted to coil struts with coil springs, allowing a complete strut assembly that is a simple install.
When lifting some vehicles there can be issues relating to the geometry of the driveline. Dobinsons have a range of Driveline Spacers and Alignments items that are required when lifting vehicles.
When raising a vehicle fitted with a mechanical rear Braking Bias System, the braking system can be affected as the braking bias front to rear is changed. For this reason Dobinsons recommend fitting one of their Brake Proportioning Valve Extensions when lifting these vehicles.
When raising some Toyota IFS vehicles beyond 2”, the front C.V. boots can rub on the lower shock absorber mount at full droop, this can cause premature wearing as the convoluted rings rub together. Dobinsons offer High Clearance C.V. Boots to prevent this issue.
Dobinsons provide a range of spacer and u-bolt style quick ride kits that are a budget alternative to leaf springs kit when lifting the rear your leaf sprung vehicle.
Custom designed, laser cut and greasable Extended Shackles are a budget option for lifting the rear of your leaf sprung vehicle.
Note: Relevant State or Federal regulations should be checked before installing.
When lifting the front of your IFS vehicle beyond 2”, it is often the case that a longer shock absorber is needed, which results in the C.V. joints exceeding their maximum operating angle causing binding. Dobinsons Diff Drop Kits lower the front diff on selected vehicles to reduce the C.V. operating angle at full droop, preventing C.V. Bind.
Dobinsons offer heavy duty Drop Boxes to suit the front of Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61’s which are a direct bolt-in application to suit 4" to 6” lifts. Drop Boxes lower the front radius arm mounts to return the castor angle to the required setting, whilst also pushing the front diff around 15mm forward for improved tyre clearance. Drop Boxes offer the best driveability and handling of all castor correction options, as they reduce bump steer while keeping the radius arms close to the original flat position.
When some rear solid axle coil sprung style vehicles are lifted 2” and beyond, the rear tail shaft and pinion angles are affected, which can cause driveline vibrations and other wear issues. Dobinsons Adjustable Heavy Duty Control Arms are manufactured from up to 30-44mm diameter and up to 6mm thick HSLA tubing for an enormous increased in strength over OEM arms, and utilize OEM Quality natural rubber bushes for a quiet, noise and maintenance free long life operation and improved articulation. Adjustable length design allows for precise adjustment and setting of pinion and driveline angles.

Each Dobinsons shock absorber is designed specifically for the vehicle and application and is designed to perform best when matched with Dobinsons Coil Springs.
WORLDS LARGEST
RANGE OF COIL SPRINGS
Dobinsons™ proudly boast one of the worlds largest range of coil springs including raised height and heavy duty 4wd springs, lowered performance passenger car springs, O.E. replacement springs and heavy duty springs for commercial vehicles.
As Dobinsons™ coil springs are manufactured in-house, Dobinsons™ can manufacture smaller quantities and in most cases there are many different coil spring options available for your vehicle. This ensures the customer receives the best spring to suit their application and avoids a “One Size Fits All” scenario, especially important when selecting the correct spring rates and ride heights.
When matched with a set of corresponding Dobinsons™ Shock Absorbers, Dobinsons™ can provide you with unrivalled performance and handling.
Dobinsons new coil spring cold roller is the latest addition to the coil spring manufacturing process.
Cold rolling coil springs dramatically decreases production time without compromising strength or durability, maintaining the high quality you expect from Dobinsons.
Heat treatment is one of the most important steps in the coil spring manufacturing process.
All Dobinsons coil springs are ‘hot wound’ and the hardening and tempering of our coil springs is completed by an extremely precise electronically controlled furnace to eliminate breakage and sagging.
Each coil spring is precisely wound by a programmable logic computer to achieve perfect pitch. This precision is extremely important when manufacturing variable and progressive rate coil springs.
Engineered coil ends are designed to fit directly into the original vehicle mounting points without any modification.
All Dobinsons™ coil springs are load tested and scragged 100% to eliminate subsequent spring sag, and ensure they meet and maintain the required specifications. We also perform spring fatigue and hardness testing using in-house state of the art testing equipment.
A durable powdercoat finish provides extreme protection against the elements.

When vehicles are fitted with additional accessories such as steel bullbars, winches, dual battery kits and other frontal accessories the weight placed on the torsion bars can be dramatically increased.
Dobinsons torsion bars feature an increased bar diameter, thicker than the original vehicle torsion bars. Dobinsons uprated torsion bars provided a far superior ride that will greatly reduce bottoming of the suspension and will improve the vehicles handling whilst also offering far greater reliability at increased ride heights.
Dobinsons heavy duty torsion bars have precision end fitment and are marked both left and right hand side, and also importantly front and rear to ensure correct simple fitment the first time. Fitting torsion bars on the incorrect side or back to front will damage the torsion bars as they are preset and scragged in the required direction.
As torsion bars have load applied in a particular direction during compression travel, Dobinsons have their torsion bars directionally preset and scragged to prevent sagging and breakage.
A thick durable powdercoat provides protection against corrosion.
Dobinsons torsion bars feature cold rolled splines to increase strength, reliability and ensure a perfect fit.
