Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. When ordering, choose spring rates based only on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, larger batteries, and front storage drawers. Rear constant loads include rear bars, dual spare wheel carriers, rear drawers, water tanks, and permanently mounted camping equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear loaded for weekend trips, passengers, or periodic towing should not be factored into spring rate selection, as choosing excessively heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to suspension bushings, track bars, and steering dampers. If you frequently carry variable loads, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support.
This Dobinsons lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate spring compressor tools and safety equipment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct toe, camber, and caster settings, preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining safe handling characteristics. Dobinsons recommends a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle 5-10mm as coil coating compresses and components bed in. For lift heights exceeding 2", or when fitting larger tyres and wheels, consider upgrading to adjustable control arms to restore factory caster angles and improve steering geometry. Extended brake lines, track bar relocation brackets, and steering stabiliser upgrades may also be required depending on your specific build and intended use.

Trusted by tourers, tradespeople, and 4WD enthusiasts nationwide, the Dobinsons suspension range represents exceptional value backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and a dealer network spanning every Australian state and territory.
This 2" Dobinsons Nitro Lift Kit is ideal for Jeep Wrangler JK owners who demand a balanced suspension solution for weekend touring, beach driving, regional travel, and daily commuting. It suits recreational four-wheel drivers upgrading from factory suspension, caravan and camper trailer towers requiring additional clearance and load capacity, and enthusiasts fitting larger all-terrain tyres for improved off-road capability. For those carrying highly variable loads such as slide-on campers or heavy expedition gear, pairing this kit with supplementary airbag suspension provides on-demand load levelling while maintaining optimal ride quality when unloaded.
All Dobinsons suspension kits are held in Australian stock for fast dispatch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional areas.

This Dobinsons 2" Nitro Lift Kit is specifically engineered to fit all Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 to 2018, including both 2-door and 4-door Unlimited variants. The kit includes front and rear shock absorbers and coil springs precisely matched to the JK's suspension geometry and mounting points. If you have a heavily modified JK or are unsure about compatibility with aftermarket bumpers or armour, our suspension specialists can verify fitment and recommend any additional components required for your specific build.
This Dobinsons kit provides a 50mm (2 inch) lift over factory ride height when properly installed and bedded in. Actual lift height achieved can vary by 5-10mm depending on selected spring rate, constant accessory load, and the condition of your vehicle's existing suspension bushings and chassis components. After the initial 500km break-in period, springs typically settle 5-10mm as coil coating compresses, so initial fitment may show slightly higher than 2" before settling to final height. This lift height allows fitment of 32-33" tyres on factory wheels with minimal trimming in most cases.
This complete kit includes two Dobinsons gas nitro front shock absorbers, two gas nitro rear shock absorbers, two front coil springs, two rear coil springs, plus all necessary mounting hardware and bushings. Spring rates are customisable at checkout based on your constant accessory load. The kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, track bar relocation brackets, or steering stabilisers which may be required depending on your specific build. All components are engineered to work together as a matched system for optimal performance and longevity.
Yes, when correctly specified with appropriate rear spring rates, this Dobinsons kit provides excellent towing stability and load support for caravans and camper trailers. The gas nitro shock absorbers deliver superior damping control under load, while correctly rated coil springs maintain ride height and prevent rear sag during towing. However, spring rates should be selected based only on constant rear accessories, not towing weight. For regular heavy towing or highly variable loads, we recommend pairing this kit with supplementary airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling and optimal towing performance.
At 2" of lift, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry and steering performance. Factory control arms will still function, but adjustable aftermarket control arms allow precise restoration of factory caster angles which improves highway stability, reduces steering wander, and minimises tyre wear. If you plan to fit tyres larger than 33" or increase lift height beyond 2" in future, adjustable control arms become essential for maintaining safe handling characteristics and preventing premature wear of ball joints and bushings.
Yes, a complete four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit. Raising your Jeep Wrangler JK's ride height alters suspension geometry, affecting toe, camber, and caster settings which directly impact tyre wear, handling, and safety. A professional alignment ensures all angles are set within manufacturer specifications or optimised for your specific build and driving style. Skipping alignment will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety concerns during emergency manoeuvres or highway driving.
Yes, this Dobinsons kit offers customisable spring rates for both front and rear axles to precisely match your constant accessory load. During checkout, you'll select spring rates based on the permanent weight fitted to your vehicle including bull bars, winches, roof racks, rear bars, drawer systems, and dual spare carriers. It's critical to select spring rates based only on constant loads, not occasional camping gear or towing weight. Choosing excessively heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components. Our team can provide spring rate recommendations based on your specific accessory list.
With this 2" Dobinsons lift kit, most Jeep Wrangler JK models can accommodate 32-33" tyres on factory offset wheels with minimal or no trimming required. Exact tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width, suspension articulation, and specific tyre tread pattern characteristics. Some mild trimming of plastic fender liners or pinch seam modification may be required for 33" tyres at full lock or during extreme suspension compression. For larger tyres or aggressive wheel offsets, additional modifications such as fender trimming or aftermarket fenders may be necessary to prevent rubbing during off-road articulation.
This Dobinsons suspension kit is backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage, reflecting the brand's 70+ year reputation for engineering excellence and product reliability. Specific warranty terms cover manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for shock absorbers and coil springs under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, appropriate spring rate selection, and proper vehicle setup including wheel alignment. For detailed warranty terms, conditions, and claim procedures, contact our team or refer to the documentation included with your kit upon delivery.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons Nitro kit is specifically engineered to maintain excellent on-road ride quality and daily driving refinement while dramatically improving off-road capability. The gas nitro shock absorbers provide compliant damping over highway expansion joints and urban road imperfections, while properly selected spring rates ensure comfortable daily commuting without the harsh ride often associated with heavy-duty off-road suspension. This balanced approach makes the kit ideal for Wrangler JK owners who use their vehicle as a daily driver during the week and head off-road on weekends, eliminating the compromise typically required when choosing between comfort and capability.
Solid Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift on my JK through the Simpson Desert and Cape York, and it's handled everything from corrugations to rock crawling without missing a beat. The nitro shocks are properly damped for loaded touring, which makes a massive difference when you're carrying 100+ litres of fuel and water plus camping gear. Ride quality is surprisingly comfortable on highway runs between tracks, and the coils have maintained their height even after 18 months of hard yakka.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Fitted the Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit to our JK before our trip through the High Country and it's been brilliant. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with the kids' camping gear and rooftop tent. Really impressed with how it handles corrugated dirt roads without beating us up, and we've had no dramas tackling rocky tracks either.(5)
Perfect Lift for My JK Wrangler
Just got back from a trip through the High Country and this Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit performed brilliantly. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially over corrugations, and it handled the rocky tracks without any dramas. Fitment was spot-on and the blokes at 4WD Suspension Australia had it shipped out quickly.(5)
