The Dobinsons 2" Nitro Lift Kit suits Jeep Wrangler JK models built 2007-2018, delivering a genuine 2" lift front and rear using nitrogen-charged monotube shock absorbers and vehicle-specific coil springs. Nitro shocks control damping consistently across corrugations, rock ledges and highway kilometres without the fade you get from cheaper twin-tube units. Raised coils restore factory-plus load carrying for bull bars, winches and drawer systems, and the kit slots into the 4WD lift kit range we stock for common JK variants. In stock in Australia with a manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choosing the right spring rate depends on what stays fitted to your JK day to day. A bull bar, winch and driving lights add constant front load, while drawer systems, dual batteries, fridges and a roof-top tent load up the rear. Tell us your accessory list and we'll confirm whether the standard Nitro spring rate suits your build or if a heavier-rated rear coil is a better match.
This kit suits an experienced DIY installer with the right tools, though we recommend a qualified workshop fit the springs and shocks and torque all mounting bolts to Jeep specification. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber and caster at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the nitro shocks and coil springs to settle before final alignment. If you're running larger control arms for improved caster correction, pair this kit with our control arm upgrades at the same time.
Dobinsons has built suspension components for Australian 4WD conditions for decades, with local engineering input rather than a straight overseas import. Every Nitro kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is dispatched from Australian stock, backed by our fitment support team. Tourers and tradespeople running JKs choose Dobinsons because the parts are readily available and rate-matched to real accessory loads — view the full Dobinsons range for other JK-compatible components.
This kit suits JK owners fitting a bull bar, winch and all-terrain tyres for weekend touring, plus tradespeople who need the extra clearance for work tracks without losing daily-driver comfort. If you're running a heavier constant load such as a canopy or fridge slide and need more consistent ride height under load, our airbag suspension options can complement this kit at the rear.

Yes, this Dobinsons 2" Nitro Lift Kit is built for Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 to 2018, covering both the 2-door JK and 4-door JKU (Unlimited). It suits petrol V6 and diesel variants sold in Australia during this period. If your JK has aftermarket modifications already fitted, contact our team first to confirm compatibility. We can check your build sheet against the kit specifications before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift at the front and rear once the springs and shocks have settled. The lift comes from a combination of raised coil springs and matched-length nitro gas shocks, not spacers alone. Final ride height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's accessory load. We recommend measuring ride height after the 500km break-in period for an accurate reading.
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 shock absorbers, 2 front and 2 rear raised coil springs, front and rear bump stop extensions, and all mounting hardware. Upper and lower control arms are sold separately, as most JK owners choose a specific arm length for their intended caster correction. Full fitting instructions are supplied with the kit. See the kit contents list on this page for the complete itemised breakdown.
Yes, when matched to the correct spring rate for your accessory load, this kit supports towing and touring setups on a JK. The raised coil springs restore load-carrying capacity lost to factory sag once a bull bar, winch or drawer system is fitted. If you're towing a caravan or box trailer regularly, tell us your rear axle load so we can confirm the standard rate suits your setup or recommend an alternative.
At a 2" lift, many JK owners fit adjustable control arms to correct caster angle and pinion angle at the new ride height, though it's not always mandatory at this height. We recommend checking driveline angles after fitting and upgrading arms if you notice vibration or excessive tyre wear. Our team can advise on control arm length based on your specific lift height and tyre size. Browse our control arm range for JK-compatible options.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising ride height changes camber and caster angles, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend aligning the vehicle after the 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled. Skipping this step can lead to uneven tyre wear and reduced steering stability.
Dobinsons offers this Nitro kit with coil springs matched to common JK accessory loads, and our team can advise if a heavier-rated rear coil suits your build. Constant loads like a canopy, dual battery setup or roof-top tent change which spring rate performs best. Tell us your accessory list and GVM figures and we'll confirm the right spring option before you order. This ensures the kit sits at the correct ride height under your actual load, not just unladen.
A 2" lift on a JK typically allows for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and whether you trim any plastic guards. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on clearance at full lock and full compression. Pairing the lift with correct alignment settings also helps maximise usable clearance.
This Dobinsons Nitro Lift Kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. We handle warranty claims through our Australian-based team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier directly. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim. Contact us if you have questions about specific warranty terms for this kit.
Yes, the Dobinsons Nitro shock absorbers are tuned to keep a comfortable ride on sealed roads while still handling corrugations and rougher tracks on weekends. Many JK owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both commuting and touring. Ride quality on-road is close to factory feel, with the added benefit of correct load-carrying capacity once accessories are fitted. If you're chasing maximum daily comfort, discuss your accessory load with our team before selecting spring rates.
