Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and suspension lifespan. Your spring rate should be based on your constant accessory load — the combined weight of accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional cargo or towing loads. Common front accessories include steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (35-45kg), dual battery systems (20-25kg), long range fuel tanks, and upgraded intercoolers. Rear constant loads include aluminium canopies (70-100kg), steel canopies (100-150kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers (40-60kg), rear bars, and water tanks. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, firewood, and towing are absorbed by the suspension's travel range and should not influence your base spring rate selection. Selecting springs rated for excessive weight will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction on corrugations, and potential damage to chassis mounts and suspension components.
This Bilstein lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate workshop equipment including spring compressors, torque wrenches, and hydraulic jacks. A full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings — failure to align will result in premature tyre wear and compromised handling. All shock absorbers and springs should undergo a 500-kilometre break-in period where the suspension is allowed to settle and components bed in — recheck all fastener torque settings after this initial period. For vehicles with high constant loads or those used for frequent towing, consider pairing this lift with airbag suspension to provide adjustable load support without compromising unladen ride quality.
Bilstein has been manufacturing premium monotube gas shock absorbers in Germany since 1954, with over 70 years of motorsport heritage, OEM partnerships with Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Ford, and countless podium finishes in the Dakar Rally and Australian Off Road Championship. The Bilstein suspension range is trusted by Australian tourers, tradespeople, and professional off-road teams for its unmatched durability, fade-free performance, and ability to maintain control in the harshest conditions from Cape York to the Simpson Desert. Every Bilstein product sold through 4WD Suspension Australia is backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and our team's expert technical support.
This Bilstein 2" lift kit is ideal for Navara D22 owners who demand premium performance without compromise — including weekend tourers exploring Australia's high country and coastal tracks, tradies who need reliable daily driver performance with occasional heavy loads, caravan and camper trailer towers requiring improved stability and ground clearance, and 4WD enthusiasts building a balanced touring rig with larger tyres and recovery equipment. If you regularly carry maximum payloads or tow near your vehicle's GVM limit, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support and levelling capability.

This kit is designed to fit all Nissan Navara D22 models from 1997 through 2015, including single cab, dual cab, and king cab variants with both petrol (VG33, KA24) and diesel (YD25, ZD30) engines. The kit suits both 4x4 and 4x2 models, though spring rate selection may vary based on your drivetrain and constant accessory load. If you've made significant modifications to your D22 or are unsure about compatibility with aftermarket accessories, our suspension specialists can confirm fitment and recommend the optimal spring rates for your specific build.
This Bilstein kit provides approximately 50mm (2 inches) of lift, primarily through the raised rear leaf springs, improving ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and allowing fitment of larger diameter tyres up to 32 inches. The actual installed lift height can vary by 10-15mm depending on your selected spring rate, constant accessory load, and the condition of your vehicle's existing suspension bushes and chassis mounts. The 2-inch lift provides an ideal balance between improved off-road capability and maintained on-road handling without requiring extensive modifications to brake lines, diff breathers, or steering components.
This complete kit includes 2 Bilstein B6 front shock absorbers, 2 Bilstein B6 rear shock absorbers, 2 raised rear leaf springs with your choice of spring rate, 1 heavy-duty shackle bush kit, and 4 heavy-duty U-bolts with associated hardware. The D22 Navara uses a leaf spring rear suspension which provides the lift, while the front maintains the factory coil spring setup with upgraded Bilstein shocks for improved damping control. All necessary mounting hardware is included, though you may wish to upgrade brake lines, diff breathers, and extended shackles separately depending on your intended use and articulation requirements.
Yes, this Bilstein lift kit is excellent for towing applications, with the B6 monotube shocks providing superior heat dissipation and fade-free damping control even under sustained towing loads. The raised leaf springs can be specified in heavier rates to accommodate regular towing, though it's important to select spring rates based on constant load rather than occasional towing weight. For maximum towing versatility and the ability to level your vehicle under varying trailer weights, many D22 owners combine this lift kit with supplementary airbag suspension which provides on-demand load support without compromising unladen ride quality.
The 2-inch lift height provided by this kit generally does not require upgraded control arms for the Nissan Navara D22, as the geometry changes are moderate and within acceptable operating angles for factory components. However, if you're building a heavily loaded touring rig or plan to combine this lift with larger tyres and aggressive off-road use, upgraded control arms with heavy-duty ball joints and bushes can improve durability and steering precision. Extended diff breathers, longer brake lines, and upgraded steering dampers are recommended complementary upgrades to maximise the performance and reliability of your lifted D22 suspension system.
Yes, a professional 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Bilstein system. Raising your vehicle's ride height alters the suspension geometry, affecting camber, caster, and toe angles which directly impact tyre wear, steering precision, and vehicle stability. The alignment should be performed after the kit is fully installed and all fasteners torqued to specification, with the vehicle at normal operating weight including driver and typical fuel load. Failure to align your D22 after lifting will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, and potentially dangerous handling characteristics, particularly under emergency braking or cornering.
Yes, this Bilstein kit allows you to select custom spring rates for both front and rear based on your specific constant accessory load, which is one of the key advantages of this system. Your spring rate selection should reflect only permanent accessories — front loads include bullbars, winches, and dual batteries, while rear loads include canopies, drawer systems, and dual spare carriers. It's critical to be honest about your constant load and avoid selecting excessively heavy spring rates based on occasional cargo or towing, as this will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction on corrugations, and potential damage to suspension mounts and chassis components over time.
This 2-inch lift kit will typically allow fitment of tyres up to 32 inches in diameter (265/75R16 or 285/75R16) on the Navara D22 without significant rubbing, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre brand sidewall profile, and suspension articulation. Some minor trimming of plastic mudguard liners may be required at full lock and compression, particularly if running aggressive tread patterns or wider track wheels. For 33-inch tyres or larger, you'll likely need additional modifications including diff drops, body mount chops, or extended radius arms to maintain full steering lock and suspension travel without contact on chassis rails or body panels.
All Bilstein shock absorbers included in this kit are covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship when the product is used under normal operating conditions and installed according to specifications. The raised leaf springs and associated hardware are also covered under warranty terms against manufacturing defects. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and evidence of professional installation or correct DIY fitting procedures including proper torque specifications and post-installation alignment. Our team at 4WD Suspension Australia provides full warranty support and can assist with any technical issues or product performance concerns throughout the ownership period.
Absolutely — Bilstein B6 shocks are renowned for providing an excellent balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort, making this kit ideal for D22 Navaras used as daily drivers. The monotube design with precision vehicle-specific valving ensures controlled damping without harshness, while the custom-rate leaf springs maintain compliance over broken surfaces and speed bumps when correctly matched to your constant load. Unlike budget lift kits that trade ride quality for lift height, this Bilstein system delivers civilised highway manners, reduced body roll in corners, and composed handling under braking while still providing the durability and performance needed for weekend touring and off-road adventures.
