Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit for Mitsubishi Triton ML-MN (2006-2015)

This Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit delivers a balanced 30mm (approximately 1.2 inches) of lift at both the front and rear axles. The front lift is achieved through raised coil springs, while the rear lift comes from Dobinsons raised leaf springs. This balanced lift maintains factory rake and steering geometry while providing improved ground clearance, better approach and departure angles, and additional clearance for fitting larger diameter tyres. Actual ride height may vary slightly depending on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load—heavier loads may compress springs slightly more, while lighter configurations may sit marginally higher.

This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x front coil springs (30mm lift), 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x raised rear leaf springs (30mm lift), 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts, and 1 x polyurethane bush kit. All necessary hardware for mounting the leaf springs and shocks is provided. The shocks feature twin-tube nitrogen gas design with premium NOK seals, Fuchs oil, and double-chromed rods. You will need to select the appropriate spring rates for front and rear based on your constant accessory weight during the ordering process to ensure correct ride height and optimal performance.

Absolutely—this Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit significantly improves the Mitsubishi Triton's towing capability and stability when hauling caravans, camper trailers, or heavy tandem trailers. The heavy-duty nitrogen gas shock absorbers feature increased valving and larger oil capacity to control body movement and reduce sway under towing loads. The load-rated rear leaf springs provide additional support to prevent rear-end sag and maintain correct towball weight distribution. It's critical to select the correct spring rate based on your constant rear accessories (not including the trailer weight itself). For ultimate towing control and the ability to fine-tune rear ride height with varying trailer loads, consider adding airbag suspension as a supplementary system.

While not mandatory, upgrading to adjustable or heavy-duty aftermarket control arms is highly recommended when fitting this 30mm lift kit to your Triton ML-MN. Lifting the vehicle alters the suspension geometry, particularly castor angle and ball joint operating angles, which can affect steering feel, tyre wear, and suspension articulation. Adjustable control arms allow you to restore or improve castor angle for better high-speed stability and self-centering steering, while also providing additional clearance for larger tyres during full suspension compression and steering lock. If you plan to fit tyres larger than 31 inches or frequently use your Triton off-road with full articulation, upgraded control arms will maximise performance and longevity of your suspension system.

Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this lift kit. Changing suspension height and replacing springs and shock absorbers will alter your vehicle's camber, castor, and toe settings, which directly affect steering feel, tyre wear, handling stability, and braking performance. A qualified suspension or alignment specialist should perform a comprehensive alignment to manufacturer specifications (adjusted for lift height) once the kit is fully installed and the vehicle is at normal ride height with typical load. Failure to align your vehicle after suspension modifications can result in premature and uneven tyre wear, poor steering response, and compromised safety. Most reputable 4WD workshops include alignment as part of their lift kit installation service.

Yes, and it's essential that you do. During the ordering process, you must select the correct front and rear spring rates based on your vehicle's constant accessory load—the permanent weight of accessories fitted to your Triton at all times. Front constant loads include items like steel bullbars, winches, upgraded intercoolers, and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include steel rear bars, dual spare wheel carriers, canopies, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, and tray-mounted toolboxes. Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or trailer weight, as selecting overly heavy springs will result in a harsh ride and may damage other suspension components. If you're unsure about your total accessory weight, contact our technical team for assistance in calculating the correct spring rates for your specific setup.

With a 30mm lift from this Dobinsons kit, most Mitsubishi Triton ML-MN models can accommodate tyres up to approximately 31 to 32 inches in diameter (265/75R16 or 265/70R17 depending on your wheel size) without rubbing during normal driving and moderate off-road articulation. Actual tyre clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width, suspension articulation, and whether you've trimmed inner guards or fitted aftermarket control arms. If you plan to run larger tyres such as 33 inches or wider, you may need additional modifications including guard trimming, offset wheels, diff drops, or extended control arms to prevent contact with guards, chassis rails, or suspension components at full lock and compression. Always test-fit and check clearance through full steering lock and suspension travel before committing to a specific tyre size.

Dobinsons Spring & Suspension stands behind their products with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies by component—shock absorbers and struts typically carry a 12-month or 20,000km warranty (whichever occurs first), while springs are usually covered for 24 months or 40,000km. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proof of purchase, and adherence to recommended service intervals and load ratings. The warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect spring rate selection, overloading beyond GVM/GCM, accident damage, or use in competitive motorsport. For complete warranty terms and conditions, refer to the documentation included with your kit or contact our team. All Dobinsons products sold through 4WD Suspension Australia are genuine Australian-delivered stock with full warranty support.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit is engineered to deliver a balanced ride quality that's suitable for daily commuting, highway touring, and off-road adventuring. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise on-road comfort for off-road capability, Dobinsons twin-tube nitrogen gas shocks feature vehicle-specific valving that provides controlled damping for comfortable highway cruising while still offering the performance needed for corrugated tracks, steep descents, and articulated terrain. The load-rated springs (when correctly selected for your constant accessory weight) maintain compliance and comfort on sealed roads while providing additional support under load. During the initial 500km break-in period, ride quality will improve as springs settle and bushings seat properly. If you've selected the correct spring rates and have the vehicle professionally aligned after installation, you should experience a noticeable improvement in ride quality, handling stability, and load-carrying capability compared to worn factory suspension.
