Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional loads. If you regularly run a steel bull bar, winch, canopy, dual battery tray, long-range fuel tank, or drawer system, tell our team the combined weight so we can confirm the correct leaf pack for your Rodeo RA. Under-rating the springs for a heavy constant load leads to rear sag over time, while over-rating an unladen vehicle gives a harsh, bouncy ride.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a workshop familiar with leaf spring and torsion bar adjustment on the Rodeo RA. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to reset camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the leaf springs and bushes to settle before a final alignment check. If you are also changing front geometry at this lift height, pairing the kit with upgraded control arms is worth discussing with our team.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension for Australian conditions for decades, and this kit uses the same twin-tube nitro gas shock construction, NOK seals and Fuchs oil found across their range. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team who can confirm spring rates against your accessory load. Tradespeople, tourers and remote-area drivers rely on Dobinsons for consistent damping and durable leaf spring performance — view the full Dobinsons range for other applications.
This kit suits Rodeo RA owners fitting larger tyres, tradespeople carrying tool boxes and canopies, and grey nomads towing camper trailers or small caravans. If your constant rear load is heavier again — full-time canopy, tray and water tank — talk to us about airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this lift kit.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit is built specifically for the Holden Rodeo RA sold in Australia from 2003 to 2008. It covers both petrol (2.6L, 3.2L V6) and turbo diesel (2.8L, 3.0L) variants fitted with the standard leaf-sprung rear axle. If you are unsure of your build date or engine code, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear on the Rodeo RA. The front lift is achieved through torsion bar adjustment paired with the new Nitro Gas shocks, while the rear is lifted using 2" raised leaf springs. The combined result is a level stance suited to larger tyres and improved clearance.
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 front and 2 rear Dobinsons Nitro Gas twin-tube shock absorbers, 2 raised rear leaf springs, a full polyurethane bush kit, U-bolts and mounting hardware, and greasable shackle pins. Fitting instructions are supplied. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately.
Yes, the raised rear leaf springs improve rear load support compared to worn factory springs, which helps when towing a camper trailer or small caravan. For heavier constant tow ball loads, ask our team about matching a firmer leaf pack rate to your setup. The Nitro Gas shocks also help control rear axle movement under load on corrugated roads.
Control arms are not included in this kit and are not always required at a 2" lift on the Rodeo RA. Some owners choose to upgrade control arms for improved geometry and reduced bush wear at ride height, especially with heavier front accessories fitted. Speak to our team if you are running a bull bar and winch and want a geometry check.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes at the front and rear alter camber, caster and toe, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend a final alignment check after the 500km break-in period once the leaf springs and bushes have settled.
Yes, Dobinsons offers different rear leaf spring rate options for the Rodeo RA to suit varying constant loads such as canopies, tool boxes or long-range fuel tanks. Tell our team your typical loaded weight, including accessories, so we can recommend the closest-matched leaf pack. Selecting the right rate avoids rear sag or an overly firm ride.
A 2" lift front and rear typically allows for a moderate tyre size increase on the Rodeo RA, though exact clearance depends on wheel width, offset and any flares fitted. Our team can advise on maximum practical tyre sizes once we know your wheel specifications. Rubbing at full steering lock or compression should always be checked after fitment.
This Dobinsons kit is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects in the shocks, leaf springs and bushes. Exact warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase and vary slightly by component. Contact our team if you need the specific warranty documentation for your Rodeo RA kit.
Yes, this kit is designed to balance on-road comfort with off-road durability, making it suitable for daily driven Rodeo RA utes as well as weekend touring. The twin-tube nitro gas shocks are tuned to control body movement without an overly firm ride at highway speed. Correct spring rate selection for your typical load also helps maintain comfortable daily driving manners.
