        Eddie I have a brand new pair of these. Were supposed to be 45mm lift for the 90 with winch, extra battery and bash plate.
        She went up 85mm, way too high without a diff drop.
        Dobinsons have been wrong with their load/ height figures on a lot of cars, not just my experience.
        The C59-302 is a very tough spring and is listed for many models.
        I’d go for something else on a 120.
        You can email dobinsons and get an opinion (as I did!) but as springs are still a blacksmith item, quality control seems a big issue.

          Mine came with dobinson shocks & springs on the front when I bought the car. Raised with no load. They were soft as and was more than a 2 inch lift in my opinion. The front dipped something shocking under brakes. I wouldn’t buy that combo by choice that’s for sure.
          2005 120 series V6 Grande, 2 inch susp lift (King/EFS combo), 32 inch MT’s, Safari Snorkel, rear diff lock, breathers, Light Force spotlights, UHF, dual batteries.

            Thanks carco, thanks Brett for the heads up,
            I might do a bit more research. I would say I have an additional 55kg on the front (as don't think I will add the winch at this point), but garage entrance is pretty low, so need to be happy with the probable raise range.

            Cheers.

              Are you going to go the struts yourself or buy them assembled?
              I think you’ll find most off-road shops are reluctant to offer Dobinson’s as for sure you’ll be back.
              Bloke on the 90’s FB page is going through this hassle right now. Bought assembled struts supposedly 50mm lift and it’s sitting up way too high. Suspension shop
              is fobbing him off saying it will come down eventually but that’s not on. Meanwhile his front shafts are rattling due to the crazy angles.
              The ordinary yellow Dobinson’s shock is nothing flash. I replaced mine after a Gibb trip, they lost the plot real fast.
              Suggest bilsteins.

                The yellow Dobinson shocks are cheap as. For good reason too. Mine were significantly worse than OEM. Worst coil over strut combo I’ve ever experienced in a 4wd. The bloke who owned the car before me must’ve thought he was riding the ocean swell in a boat every time he went for a drive. King springs, now there’s a good spring.
