Choose your front coil spring rate based on the constant weight sitting over the front axle — a steel bull bar, winch and driving lights add up quickly on a Navara D40. Heavier combinations need a firmer front spring to hold the 2" lift height and stop the front end sagging back down over time. Tell our team your accessory list before ordering so we can match the coil spring rate to your actual front-end load.
Fitment is a bolt-in job for an experienced DIY installer with basic hand tools and a hoist, though we recommend a qualified 4WD suspension workshop handle the strut swap and torque settings. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber and caster back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the springs to settle before a final alignment check. For correct geometry at 2" of lift, pair this kit with control arm upgrades to restore CV joint and steering angles.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, testing components on local roads and tracks before they reach a customer's vehicle. Every Monotube strut in this kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and stocked locally for fast Australian dispatch. Tourers and tradespeople running a Navara D40 choose Dobinsons for proven components and direct fitment support — view the full Dobinsons range.
This kit suits Navara D40 owners fitting a bull bar and winch who need the front coil spring rate matched to that added weight, plus tourers wanting bigger tyre clearance for corrugated tracks. Tradies carrying tool boxes and canopy weight on the front end benefit from the firmer spring options available. If you're also carrying heavy loads over the rear axle, look at airbag suspension to keep the rear level under load.
This Dobinsons Monotube Front Lift Kit is in stock in Australia and ships fast from local stock, with our team on hand to confirm fitment for your specific Navara D40 build before you order. Browse our full lift kit range for matched rear components and accessories.

Yes — this Dobinsons Monotube Front Lift Kit is built specifically for the Nissan Navara D40 produced between 2005 and 2015, covering 2.5L turbo-diesel, 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel and 4.0L V6 petrol variants. It bolts to the factory front strut towers without cutting or drilling. If you're running a non-standard front end or existing aftermarket bar work, check with our team via the parts finder or contact page before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" front lift measured at normal ride height with standard front-end weight. Adding heavier accessories like a steel bull bar and winch will settle the front slightly, which is why vehicle-specific spring rate options exist to offset that load. Rear lift is not included in this kit — pair it with a matching Dobinsons rear leaf or coil kit for an even stance.
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 two fully assembled Dobinsons Monotube front strut units complete with vehicle-specific coil springs, upper mount bushes, lower spring seat isolators and mounting hardware. Fitting instructions are included. Rear components, upper control arms and steering dampers are sold separately.
The front lift kit doesn't change your Navara's tow rating, but the correct front coil spring rate keeps the front end settled with a loaded bar and winch fitted. For a full towing setup, also check your rear leaf springs or consider airbag suspension to manage tow ball weight. Tell our team your trailer and accessory weights so we can recommend the right front spring rate alongside this kit.
Upgraded control arms aren't compulsory at a 2" lift but they help restore CV joint angles and caster on the D40's independent front end. Many owners running this lift with a heavier bull bar setup add adjustable control arms to reduce vibration and improve steering feel. Our team can advise whether your specific accessory combination needs this upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. The 2" lift changes camber and caster angles at the front axle, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and keeps steering true. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after a 500km bed-in period once the springs have settled.
Yes. Dobinsons offers this kit with coil spring options matched to different constant front-end loads, from a standard accessory setup through to a full bull bar and winch combination. Tell our team what's mounted on the front of your D40 — bar, winch, driving lights — and we'll match the spring rate accordingly.
A 2" front lift on the Navara D40 typically clears larger tyres than factory fitment, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset and rear-end clearance too. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full steering lock.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, covering the monotube strut units and coil springs against manufacturing defects. It's stocked in Australia so any warranty claim is handled locally through our team rather than an overseas process. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for warranty claims.
Yes. The monotube strut design keeps damping consistent on the highway as well as on rougher tracks, so the ride stays composed for daily commuting. Choosing the correct spring rate for your actual front-end weight is what keeps handling settled — an over-sprung front end for a light accessory load can feel harsh on smooth roads.
