The Dobinsons Easy-Lift Monotube Kit suits the Isuzu D-Max (2020-on) and uses externally adjustable monotube front struts to set your ride height on the vehicle — no spring swap needed for small adjustments. The kit pairs pre-assembled struts and new top mounts with monotube rear shock absorbers and extended shackles, giving consistent damping whether you're running empty or loaded with touring gear. Check exact fitment for your build via our D-Max parts finder. In stock in Australia with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

This adjustable-height kit works with your existing rear leaf pack, so spring rate selection matters if you're carrying a canopy, dual battery tray, water tank or drawer system full-time. Front accessories like a steel bull bar or winch add constant weight that the adjustable strut height can help offset, but a heavier front coil may still be worth discussing if your bar and winch combination is on the heavier side. Talk to our team about your typical rear payload — camper trailer, caravan tow ball weight, tools or fridge slide — before locking in a final ride height.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD workshop given the strut disassembly and shackle replacement involved, though capable DIY installers with the right tools can complete it. Wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is fitted, since ride height and castor angle both change. Allow a 500km bed-in period before final adjustment checks, as bushes and shackle hardware settle in. If you're also correcting front geometry at the new height, pair this kit with upgraded control arms for cleaner CV and steering angles.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension components for Australian conditions for decades, supplying tourers and trade fleets that run daily on dirt, corrugations and highway alike. Kits are backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team if you have questions before or after purchase. You can view the full Dobinsons range for matching components across your D-Max build.
This kit suits D-Max owners who want adjustable front height without a full spring change — tradespeople carrying tray weight, tourers running a rooftop tent or drawers, and owners who tow regularly. If your rear load is heavier and more constant, such as a permanent camper or caravan, it's worth also looking at airbag suspension to support tow ball weight without over-stiffening the unladen ride.

This Dobinsons Easy-Lift Monotube Kit is built for the Isuzu D-Max RG series, 2020-on, including 4x4 dual cab, space cab and single cab variants fitted with the 3.0L 4JJ3-TCX engine. It is not designed for pre-2020 D-Max models, which use a different chassis and suspension mounting layout. If you're unsure which generation you have, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN or rego before you order.
The front struts are externally adjustable for height, so you can set the front to suit your accessory load rather than being locked to one fixed lift figure. Combined with the rear monotube shocks and extended shackles, most D-Max owners run this kit in the 2" range at the front to clear larger tyres and level the stance with a fitted bull bar or winch. Final lift achieved depends on your accessory weight and how the front is adjusted at install.
The kit includes pre-assembled front struts with new top mounts, monotube rear shock absorbers, heavy-duty extended shackles and the mounting hardware needed to fit them. Rear leaf springs are not included, as the kit is designed to work with your existing leaf pack. Upper control arms are also sold separately if you want to correct front geometry at the raised height.
Yes, the monotube shock design is built to handle sustained load better than a basic twin-tube shock, which suits regular towing and touring. The adjustable front height lets you compensate for towbar and bar work weight without needing a heavier spring straight away. For frequent heavy towing with a caravan or camper, ask our team about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for extra rear support.
It's not mandatory, but upgraded control arms are worth considering once you raise ride height, as they help correct CV joint and steering angles that shift at a lifted stance. Factory control arms will work at moderate lift settings but geometry correction improves at higher adjustment. Our team can advise whether your specific setup and lift height warrant a control arm upgrade.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters castor, camber and toe settings, and an alignment is needed to protect tyre wear and keep steering feel correct. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment, then rechecking after the 500km bed-in period.
This kit is built around adjustable-height monotube struts rather than swapped springs, so the front height is tuned via the strut itself. If you want a fixed heavier-rate front coil instead, browse the Dobinsons coil spring range or speak with our team about matching a spring rate to your bull bar and winch weight. Rear leaf spring rate is determined by your existing leaf pack, which this kit is designed to retain.
Most D-Max owners running this kit at a 2" front setting gain clearance for larger tyres, commonly up to a 33-inch diameter depending on wheel offset and any body modifications. Actual clearance depends on your wheel width, offset and whether you've trimmed guard liners. Check your exact tyre size with our fitment team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full steering lock.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms are honoured through our Australian-based support team, so you're not dealing with an overseas claims process. Contact us with your order details if you ever need to make a warranty enquiry.
Yes, the valving in this kit is tuned to keep a factory-like ride unladen while still controlling body movement once you load up for work or touring. Many D-Max owners run this kit as their daily setup, using the adjustable front height to suit whatever accessories are currently fitted. As with any lift kit, allow the 500km bed-in period and get an alignment done before extended daily use.
