The Dobinsons IMS 2" Lift Kit is built specifically for the Nissan Navara D40 (2005-2015) and pairs monotube IMS shock absorbers with raised coil springs up front and raised leaf springs at the rear. Monotube construction keeps oil and gas in separate chambers, so damping stays consistent on corrugations and under constant accessory weight rather than fading like twin-tube designs. The 2" lift clears larger tyres on most D40 trims, and rear leaf packs are available in load ratings matched to bull bars, canopies, tray backs and touring setups. Backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, this complete lift kit ships from Australian stock with fitment support from our team.

Choose your rear leaf spring rating based on what stays fitted to the tray or canopy day to day, not just your heaviest occasional load. A tourer running a steel bull bar, winch, dual battery tray, canopy and long-range fuel tank needs a higher constant-load rating than a Navara used mostly unladen. Common accessories that shift the ideal spring rate include bull bars and winches up front, and canopies, tool boxes, water tanks and camper setups over the rear axle.
Fitting this kit involves removing the factory shocks, coil springs and leaf pack, so it suits an experienced DIY installer with hoist access or a workshop familiar with leaf spring suspension. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct castor and toe at the new ride height and to protect tyre wear. Dobinsons recommends a 500km bedding-in period before towing at full load, allowing the leaf springs and bushes to settle. If you're running the vehicle loaded regularly, pair this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct front geometry at the raised height.
Dobinsons has been developing 4WD suspension for the Australian market for decades, with the IMS shock and raised spring combination specifically tuned for local conditions rather than adapted from an overseas kit. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty, and our team can talk you through spring rate selection before you buy. Tradespeople and remote-area tourers running Navara D40s commonly choose this kit for the balance of ride height, load capacity and shock control it provides — view the full Dobinsons suspension range for other Navara-specific options.
This kit suits Navara D40 owners fitting larger tyres, running a canopy or tray for work, or towing a camper or caravan on a regular basis. Tradespeople carrying tools and gear daily, and touring owners running dual batteries, fridges and roof-top tents, both benefit from the higher-rated rear leaf option. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height under variable weight.

Yes, this Dobinsons IMS kit is designed specifically for the Nissan Navara D40 built between 2005 and 2015, covering the 2.5L YD25 diesel, 3.0L V9X diesel and 4.0L VQ40 petrol variants. It's a direct-fit system matched to D40 mounting points, so no cutting or fabrication is needed on standard vehicles. If your D40 has aftermarket modifications already fitted, check with our team before ordering to confirm compatibility.
This kit gives a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Navara D40. The front lift comes from raised coil springs paired with IMS shocks, and the rear from raised leaf springs. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and accessory weight already fitted.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Dobinsons IMS monotube shock absorbers, raised front coil springs, a pair of raised rear leaf springs, and the U-bolts, pins, bushes and hardware needed to fit the leaf pack. Upper control arms and steering dampers are not included and are sold separately. See the Kit Includes list above for the full component breakdown.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are available in different load ratings, letting you select a spring rate suited to constant towing loads and canopy or tray weight. Choosing a higher-rated leaf pack reduces rear sag when towing a camper or caravan regularly. Speak to our team about your typical loaded weight so we can help you pick the right leaf spring rating.
A control arm upgrade isn't included in this kit but is worth considering at 2" of lift, particularly for front geometry and CV joint angles. Upgraded control arms help maintain correct alignment specs and reduce strain on steering components at the raised height. Our control arms range includes options suited to the D40 if you decide to add this upgrade.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. The 2" lift changes castor and toe angles at the front, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and keeps steering feel consistent. We recommend booking an alignment straight after installation, before the vehicle goes back into regular use.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are offered in multiple load ratings to suit different accessory and towing loads. Front coil springs are matched to the 2" lift height as standard. Tell our team what bull bar, canopy, tray or towing setup you're running and we'll help you match the right rear leaf rating.
The 2" lift from this kit clears larger tyres on most Navara D40 trims, though exact tyre clearance depends on wheel offset and width as well as your factory guards. We recommend checking your specific tyre size with our team before purchase if you're running a significantly larger tyre than factory. Some combinations may still need minor trimming depending on the trim level.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, covering the shocks and springs against manufacturing defects. Exact terms are confirmed at time of purchase, and our team can provide the specific warranty documentation for this SKU. Warranty support is handled locally through our Australian team rather than an overseas distributor.
Yes, the IMS monotube shocks are valved to suit both daily on-road use and off-road touring, so the ride stays controlled at highway speed as well as on corrugations. Selecting the correct rear leaf spring rating for your typical load also keeps the ride comfortable when the vehicle isn't fully loaded. Many Navara D40 owners run this kit as their everyday setup while towing or touring on weekends.
