Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on what you carry day-to-day, not just an empty tray weight. A D-Max running a steel tray, toolboxes and a canopy needs a firmer constant load rate than one used mostly unladen for commuting. Common accessories that shift the right spring choice include bull bars, winches, dual battery trays, canopies, tool boxes, water tanks and caravan or trailer tow ball loads.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop given the spring compression and shock torque steps involved, though capable DIY installers with the right tools can complete it. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the 2" front lift changes camber and caster and will affect tyre wear if left unchecked. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before final ride height is assessed. Consider pairing the kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to restore correct front geometry and CV angles at the new ride height.
Dobinsons has built suspension for Australian and international 4WD conditions for decades, with monotube and shock designs tested locally rather than adapted from other markets. Every Quick-Lift kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our team for fitment questions before and after purchase. Tradespeople and grey nomads running D-Max utes both rely on this platform for its adjustability rather than a fixed one-size lift. See the full Dobinsons suspension range for matching components.
This kit suits D-Max owners who need a genuine 2" lift with the flexibility to dial in spring rate for their actual load — tradies running a tray and toolboxes, tourers with a canopy and camping gear, and anyone towing a caravan or box trailer regularly. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this kit.

This kit is built for the Isuzu D-Max Gen 2, covering 2012 to 2020 across SX, LS-M, LS-U and LS-Terrain trims with the 3.0L 4JJ1-TCX turbo diesel. It is not designed for the earlier Gen 1 D-Max or the current Gen 3 model released after 2020. If you are unsure which generation you own, our team can confirm fitment from your rego or VIN before you order. Use our parts finder for the Isuzu D-Max to double check.
The Dobinsons Quick-Lift kit gives a 2" front lift, achieved through the height-adjustable coil spring perch rather than a fixed-height spring alone. Rear lift depends on the leaf spring rate selected, since Dobinsons offers multiple constant load options for the rear end. This means final ride height can be tuned slightly once accessories and load are fitted. Our team can advise the right combination based on your bull bar, canopy or towing setup.
The kit includes two Dobinsons monotube front shocks, two monotube rear shocks, adjustable front coil springs, and rear leaf springs in your selected constant load rate. It also comes with front strut top mounts, bump stops, rear U-bolts and mounting hardware, plus fitting instructions and warranty documentation. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately. See the full kit contents list on this page for exact quantities.
Yes, the rear leaf springs are available in different constant load ratings specifically so the kit can be matched to towing and payload needs. Selecting a higher rated rear spring helps maintain ride height and control with a loaded canopy, tray or a caravan on the tow ball. The monotube shocks are valved to control the extra movement that comes with added rear load. Tell our team your typical tow ball weight and we can help choose the right rear spring rate.
Upper control arms are not included in this kit and are sold separately, but they are worth considering at a 2" lift height. Standard control arms can run out of correct CV and camber angle once the front end is raised, which affects tyre wear and steering feel. Upgraded units restore that geometry and are commonly fitted alongside this kit. See our control arm range for options matched to this lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" front lift changes both camber and caster angles, and skipping alignment will lead to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering stability. We recommend having alignment done by a qualified workshop straight after fitment, and rechecked again after the 500km break-in period. This is a standard step with any lift kit, not specific to this product.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are available in multiple constant load ratings to suit different accessory and towing loads. The front coil springs use an adjustable perch rather than fixed rate options, letting you set ride height on the vehicle instead. If you are unsure which rear rate suits your typical load, our team can recommend a spring rate based on your bull bar, canopy, dual battery setup and tow ball weight.
A 2" front lift generally creates useful extra clearance for a moderate tyre size increase on the D-Max, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset and any trimming of guard liners. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel size with our team before ordering, particularly if you are also changing wheel width or offset. Getting this right avoids rubbing on suspension components or guards at full steering lock.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, covering manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs supplied. Warranty terms are handled through 4WD Suspension as your Australian point of contact, so you are not left dealing with an overseas supplier directly. Keep your invoice and fitment date on file, as this is required for any warranty claim. Contact our team if you have a warranty question at any stage.
Yes, the monotube shocks in this kit are valved to give a comfortable unladen ride for daily use, not just heavy load or off-road work. Many D-Max owners run this kit as their everyday setup and only notice the difference in control once a canopy, bull bar or tow load is added. Ride quality does depend on the rear spring rate selected, so choosing a rate matched to your actual average load — rather than the heaviest possible load — gives the best daily comfort.
