Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and suspension lifespan. When ordering, you must specify your current constant load — this means accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads. Common front constant loads include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), driving lights, upgraded batteries, and long-range fuel tanks. Rear constant loads include aluminium or steel canopies (60-120kg), dual battery systems, drawer systems (40-80kg), water tanks (when full), and permanently mounted roof racks with gear. Occasional loads like camping equipment, passengers, or towing a caravan should NOT be considered when selecting spring rates, as choosing overly heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality, accelerated wear on suspension components, and poor handling characteristics on unladen drives.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, optimal performance, and warranty compliance. While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools can complete installation, precise torque specifications, proper spring compression safety, and suspension geometry knowledge are essential. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct camber, caster, and toe settings — preventing premature tyre wear and ensuring stable handling. All shock absorbers and springs require a 500-kilometre break-in period for seals to properly bed in and damping characteristics to stabilise. For vehicles with significant front-end weight from heavy bull bars and accessories, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms will restore correct suspension geometry and maximise component longevity.
Dobinsons has earned its reputation as one of Australia's most trusted suspension brands through decades of engineering excellence, genuine outback testing, and unwavering commitment to quality. Every Dobinsons product undergoes rigorous real-world validation across Australia's most demanding terrain — from the red dust of the Pilbara to the rock gardens of the High Country — ensuring proven reliability when you're far from civilisation. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of expert installers and stockists, Dobinsons delivers the confidence that comes from choosing suspension engineered by Australians, for Australian conditions. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for complementary components including steering dampers, extended brake lines, and premium shock absorbers.
This kit is ideal for Isuzu D-Max owners who demand versatility — tradespeople carrying constant heavy loads of tools and materials, touring families equipped with full camping setups and rooftop tents, and caravan towers requiring enhanced rear load capacity and stability. The adjustable height capability makes this kit particularly suited to drivers who regularly alternate between laden and unladen conditions, allowing fine-tuning of ride height and handling characteristics to match changing load scenarios. If you frequently carry extreme rear loads or tow heavy trailers approaching GCM limits, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support and level ride height adjustment without compromising unladen comfort.
All kits are in stock at our Australian warehouse with fast dispatch nationwide. Need help selecting the right spring rates or have questions about compatibility with your accessories?

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all 2020-current Isuzu D-Max models including SX, LS-M, LS-U, X-Terrain, and X-Rider variants across all cab configurations (single, space, crew cab). The kit features direct bolt-in fitment using factory mounting points with no chassis modifications required. If you have a pre-2020 D-Max (2012-2019 model), you'll need a different kit designed for that generation's chassis and suspension geometry. Contact our team if you're unsure of your exact model year or variant for confirmation.
The Dobinsons Easy-Lift kit provides approximately 40-50mm (1.5-2 inches) of lift height depending on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load. The adjustable height feature allows fine-tuning within this range to accommodate varying load conditions and achieve your desired ride height. Front lift is determined by your chosen coil spring rate matched to bull bar, winch, and accessory weight, while rear lift comes from the combination of extended shackles and selected spring rate matched to canopy, drawer systems, and constant rear load. Actual lift height will vary based on total vehicle weight and fitted accessories.
This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons monotube front struts pre-assembled with matched coil springs and new strut top mounts, 2 x Dobinsons monotube rear shock absorbers, 2 x 2-inch extended heavy-duty greasable shackles, and all required mounting hardware. The front struts arrive fully assembled for faster installation and guaranteed component compatibility. Installation instructions and spring rate selection guidance are included with every kit. Note that extended brake lines, control arms, and other complementary upgrades are sold separately but may be required depending on your vehicle's specifications and intended use.
Yes, this kit significantly enhances towing capability through improved rear load capacity, better suspension compliance under load, and enhanced stability when pulling caravans or trailers. The monotube shock design provides superior heat dissipation during sustained highway towing, while the extended shackles maintain correct suspension geometry under rear weight transfer. When selecting spring rates, specify your constant rear load (canopy, drawers, etc.) but do NOT include tow ball weight — occasional towing loads require different considerations. For maximum towing performance and load support, many customers pair this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand additional support when the van is hitched.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory for this lift kit's moderate ride height increase, but they are highly recommended for vehicles with heavy front-end loads from steel bull bars, winches, and accessories. Upgraded control arms restore correct suspension geometry after lifting, reduce ball joint and bushing wear, improve steering response, and maximise component longevity. If your D-Max will be heavily accessorised or used for frequent off-road touring, investing in quality control arms at installation time prevents future alignment issues and premature wear. Our suspension specialists can advise on whether your specific setup would benefit from this upgrade.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons Easy-Lift system. Lifting your vehicle alters suspension geometry and changes camber, caster, and toe angles from factory specifications. Without proper realignment, you'll experience premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, reduced steering responsiveness, and potentially unsafe driving dynamics. Professional alignment by a qualified technician with 4WD experience ensures your D-Max tracks straight, handles predictably, and delivers maximum tyre life. This is not optional — it's an essential part of proper lift kit installation.
Spring rate selection must be based on your constant load only — accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle. For the front, weigh your bull bar type (alloy vs steel), winch, driving lights, upgraded battery, and long-range fuel tank. For the rear, include your canopy or tub liner, drawer systems, dual battery setup, water tanks (calculate full weight), and permanent roof rack equipment. Do NOT include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight when selecting springs. Choosing overly heavy spring rates for loads you don't constantly carry will result in harsh ride quality, poor handling when unladen, and accelerated wear on other suspension components. When in doubt, contact our team for personalised recommendations.
Yes, this lift kit enables fitment of moderately larger tyres on your 2020-on D-Max, typically allowing 32-inch tyres (265/70R17 or 265/65R18) without rubbing under normal driving conditions. Exact tyre clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre brand's actual dimensions (which vary between manufacturers), and whether you have aftermarket wheel arch flares or guards. For 33-inch tyres or larger, minor trimming of plastic guard liners may be required, particularly during full suspension compression off-road. Always test fit and cycle suspension through full articulation before committing to final tyre choice. Remember that larger tyres also affect speedometer accuracy, fuel economy, and gearing — recalibration may be beneficial.
This Dobinsons Easy-Lift kit is backed by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician with proper documentation, adherence to specified torque settings and installation procedures, and use of the kit within normal operating parameters. The warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, use of incorrect spring rates for vehicle load, modification of components, or damage from accidents or abuse. Dobinsons' reputation for standing behind their products and excellent warranty support provides peace of mind for your investment. Retain your proof of purchase and installation records for warranty claims.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons Easy-Lift kit is specifically engineered to balance off-road capability with on-road comfort for daily driving, highway cruising, and long-distance touring. The monotube shock design provides consistent damping without harshness, while properly matched spring rates (based on your constant load) maintain factory-like ride quality for unladen driving. This kit excels for D-Max owners who use their vehicle as both a daily driver and weekend tourer — you won't sacrifice comfort for capability. The key to achieving optimal ride quality is honest spring rate selection based on your actual constant load. After the 500km break-in period, the suspension will settle into its optimal performance characteristics for comfortable daily use.
