Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on the constant load you carry, not just occasional trips to the tip. Common accessories that add constant load include steel canopies, dual battery and fridge setups, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems and towbar tongue weight. If you run a heavier canopy or tow regularly, tell our team your typical accessory weight so we can confirm the right leaf spring pack for this D40 kit.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a competent DIY installer with a hoist and spring compressor, given the leaf spring and shock work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe at the new 2" ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the King Springs and Bilstein shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and load. For correct front-end geometry at this lift height we recommend pairing the kit with control arm upgrades.
Bilstein has supplied monotube shock technology to 4WD and touring vehicle owners across Australia for decades, with local stock held for common platforms like the D40. Each B6 Performance shock in this kit is backed by manufacturer warranty, and our team can talk you through valving and spring rate before you order. It's a setup trusted by tradespeople running canopies and tourers towing camper trailers alike — view the full Bilstein range for other applications.
This kit suits Navara D40 owners who tow, tour or carry a constant load — tradies with canopies and toolboxes, and grey nomads towing camper trailers or small caravans. If you're regularly at or near GVM with variable loads, also look at airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this kit.

Yes, this kit is designed for Nissan Navara D40 Series 1 to 3, built 2005 to 2015, covering the 2.5L YD25DDTi diesel, 4.0L VQ40DE petrol and 3.0L V9X diesel STX 550 variants. It uses D40-specific Bilstein B6 Performance shocks and King Springs coil and leaf springs matched to this chassis. If you're unsure of your exact series or engine, check your compliance plate or use our Navara D40 parts finder before ordering. Our team can also confirm fitment over the phone or by email.
This kit delivers a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Navara D40. The front lift comes from the King Springs raised coil springs working with the Bilstein B6 shocks, while the rear lift is built into the King Springs leaf spring assembly. This is enough to clear larger touring tyres and improve approach and departure angles without pushing the vehicle outside typical engineering guidelines. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and existing wear on the old springs.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes 2 Bilstein B6 Performance front shocks, 2 Bilstein B6 Performance rear shocks, 2 King Springs raised front coil springs and 2 King Springs rear leaf spring assemblies. It also comes with rear U-bolt kits, bump stop spacers and the mounting hardware and bushes needed for installation. Upper control arms and steering dampers are not included and are sold separately if you need them. Full contents are listed in the Kit Includes section above.
Yes, the rear King Springs leaf pack is selected to lift load capacity as well as ride height, which helps support towball download from a camper trailer or small caravan. The Bilstein B6 shocks are valved to control that extra load without excessive body movement while towing. If you tow regularly at or near GVM, tell our team your typical towball weight so we can confirm the leaf spring rate is right for your setup. For variable loads on top of towing, an airbag suspension kit can add extra load-levelling.
It's not compulsory, but we recommend it at this 2" lift height. Standard D40 upper control arms have limited adjustment, so at 2" of lift the front CV joint angles and camber can sit outside ideal range. Aftermarket adjustable control arms correct this geometry and reduce uneven tyre wear and CV joint stress. Ask our team for control arm recommendations that suit this specific lift kit.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the D40 by 2" changes camber, caster and toe, and running it unaligned will cause uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. Have the alignment done after the recommended 500km bed-in period so the new springs have settled to their normal ride height. We suggest using a workshop familiar with lifted 4WDs for the best result.
Yes, King Springs leaf spring assemblies for the D40 are available in different rate options to suit your typical constant load. If you run a heavy canopy, dual battery system, long-range tank or drawers full time, a firmer rear leaf pack will hold ride height better than a standard-rate option. Tell our team your accessory weight and towing habits and we'll confirm the right spring rate for this kit before you order. Front coil springs are matched to the kit's designed 2" lift and typical front-end accessory weight such as bull bars and winches.
Most Navara D40 owners running this 2" lift kit can fit up to a 33" tyre with minor trimming, depending on wheel offset and width. Larger tyres may still contact the guard liner or bash plate under full compression or steering lock, so we recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team first. Combining this lift with a wheel offset change can also affect clearance. Always test full lock and full bump before heading off-road with new tyres fitted.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 Performance shock absorbers, and King Springs' standard warranty on the coil and leaf springs. Exact warranty terms and claim process are outlined on our FAQ page, and our team can talk you through the specifics for this kit before you buy. Keep your purchase invoice as proof for any future warranty claim. Contact us directly if you have a fitment or product concern after installation.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 Performance shocks are designed to keep a comfortable, controlled ride unladen as well as under load, so the D40 doesn't feel harsh around town. The King Springs coil and leaf springs are matched to the vehicle's standard weight range, not just heavy touring loads, so daily handling stays predictable. Many D40 owners run this kit as their daily driver and only load up for weekend touring or towing. Wheel alignment after fitting is what keeps steering feel and tyre wear normal for everyday use.
