Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, handling and component longevity on your NewGen Amarok. Only consider constant accessory weight when choosing your spring rate — this means permanent additions like bull bars, winches, roof racks with roof-top tents, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, dual battery setups, and permanently mounted toolboxes. Do not select heavier spring rates based on occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing — this will result in an overly firm, harsh ride and may accelerate wear on other suspension components. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries and underbody protection, while rear constant loads include canopy weight, drawer systems (50-100kg), dual spare wheel carriers and fixed water tanks. If you're unsure about your total accessory weight, choose the lighter spring rate or contact our team for personalised advice.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD mechanic or suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this comprehensive lift kit, as it requires removal and replacement of front struts, coil springs, rear shocks and leaf springs with proper torque specifications and safety procedures. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct camber, caster and toe settings — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and compromised handling. A 500km break-in period is recommended to allow springs to settle and bushings to seat properly before final ride height is achieved. Depending on your lift height and driving style, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front suspension geometry, maintain optimal ball joint angles, and restore factory-like steering feel and tyre wear patterns.

This Dobinsons 50mm Nitro Gas Lift Kit is specifically engineered for the NewGen Volkswagen Amarok (2023-onwards models), also known as the 2H series platform. It fits both dual cab and single cab body styles across all trim levels including base, Core, Style, PanAmericana and Aventura variants. The NewGen Amarok shares its platform with the Ford Ranger T6.2, but suspension components are not interchangeable due to different mounting points and spring specifications. If you're unsure about your vehicle's exact series or year, check your VIN or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This complete kit delivers approximately 50mm (2 inches) of front lift and 40mm (1.6 inches) of rear lift, measured at the chassis rail once springs have fully settled after the initial 500km break-in period. Actual lift height can vary by 10-15mm depending on your selected spring rates, total accessory weight, and vehicle-specific tolerances. The balanced front-to-rear lift ratio maintains factory-like stance and handling characteristics while providing substantial ground clearance improvement for off-road driving and fitment of larger diameter tyres. This lift height is ideal for 32-33 inch tyres with minimal to no body trimming required on the NewGen Amarok platform.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: 2x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2x front coil springs with selectable load rates, 2x Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2x 40mm raised progressive-rate leaf springs, 4x heavy-duty U-bolts, and 1x polyurethane leaf spring bush kit. All mounting hardware and fasteners are included for complete installation. Items not included but potentially required depending on your vehicle setup include upper control arms (for extreme lifts or correcting geometry), extended brake lines (if factory lines are at maximum extension), diff drop kit (rarely needed at 50mm), and wheel alignment which is mandatory after installation.
Yes, this Dobinsons kit is excellent for towing applications when you select the appropriate spring rates for your towing setup. The 40mm raised progressive-rate leaf springs provide increased load capacity and reduced rear squat when towing, while the matched Nitro Gas rear shocks deliver improved stability and control under tow ball weight. However, it's critical that you do NOT select heavier spring rates based solely on towing — only consider constant accessory weight when choosing springs. For frequent heavy towing (2500kg+) or variable loads, we recommend supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand adjustability and optimal tow vehicle stability without compromising unladen ride quality.
While not strictly mandatory for a 50mm lift on the NewGen Amarok, upgraded upper control arms are highly recommended to restore optimal front suspension geometry, correct camber angles, and maintain proper ball joint operating angles. At 50mm of lift, factory control arms will position your suspension closer to the limits of their adjustment range, which can result in increased tyre wear, wandering steering feel, and reduced handling precision. Aftermarket adjustable control arms allow you to dial in correct alignment settings, improve steering response, and ensure even tyre wear patterns — particularly important if you're running larger tyres or frequently driving at highway speeds with loads.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons 50mm kit for your NewGen Amarok. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry, affecting camber, caster and toe angles — all of which directly impact handling, steering feel, and tyre wear. Without proper alignment, you'll experience premature and uneven tyre wear (particularly on the inside edges), reduced straight-line stability, and potentially dangerous handling characteristics in emergency maneuvers. Book your alignment with a 4WD-specialist workshop that has experience with lifted vehicles and understands the specific geometry requirements of the NewGen Amarok platform for best results.
Yes, this Dobinsons kit offers multiple spring rate options for both front coil springs and rear leaf springs, allowing you to precisely match your suspension to your specific constant accessory load. This customisation is one of the key advantages of the Dobinsons system — you can select a lighter front spring rate if you only have minimal accessories like a small alloy bar, or a heavier rate if you're running a full steel bull bar, winch, and heavy-duty underbody protection. The same applies to rear springs based on permanent rear accessories like drawer systems, canopies, and dual spare wheel carriers. Our team can help you calculate your total accessory weight and recommend the optimal spring rate combination during the ordering process.
With the 50mm front and 40mm rear lift provided by this Dobinsons kit, your NewGen Amarok will comfortably accommodate 32-33 inch diameter tyres (265/70R17 or 285/70R17) with minimal to no body trimming required. Some popular fitments include 265/70R17 (32.0"), 285/70R17 (32.7"), and 265/65R18 (31.6") depending on your wheel offset and width. Larger tyres up to 33 inches may require minor trimming of plastic inner guard liners and potentially small modifications to body mounts during full suspension compression and steering lock. Always test-fit with full suspension compression and steering at full lock before committing to a final tyre size, and consider that larger/heavier tyres may require recalibration of your speedometer and can affect fuel economy.
Dobinsons suspension components are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship — specific warranty terms vary by component type and are typically 12-24 months or defined kilometre limits. All Dobinsons products supplied by 4WD Suspension are genuine Australian-specification parts with full local warranty support and technical backup. Warranty coverage requires professional installation and proper vehicle use within manufacturer specifications — modifications, racing, or misuse may void warranty coverage. For complete warranty terms and conditions specific to this kit, contact our team during your purchase or refer to the warranty documentation included with your order.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is engineered to deliver excellent daily driving manners, highway stability and long-distance touring comfort while significantly improving off-road capability. The nitrogen-charged damping technology provides responsive control without harshness, the progressive-rate springs offer compliant ride quality when unladen, and the matched component valving ensures composed handling at highway speeds. Many NewGen Amarok owners use this exact setup as their daily driver for commuting, trades work, and weekend adventures without compromise. The key to achieving optimal on-road comfort is selecting the correct spring rate for your actual constant accessory load — avoid the temptation to over-spring your vehicle, as this results in harsh ride quality on normal roads and accelerated component wear.
Perfect Lift for My Work Amarok
Been running this Dobinsons 50mm lift kit on my NewGen Amarok for about three months now, loaded up with tools and gear every day. Ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when carrying heavy loads to site. The extra height comes in handy on the dirt tracks out to some job sites too, and the install was pretty straightforward for my local mechanic.(5)
Perfect Lift for Our Loaded Amarok
Fitted the Dobinsons 50mm lift kit to our new Amarok before our recent Cape York trip and couldn't be happier with the results. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with camping gear, the rooftop tent, and all the kids' stuff. Handles corrugations really well and the extra clearance gave us confidence on the rougher tracks without feeling bouncy or harsh on the highway drive up.(5)
