The Dobinsons Monotube Quick-Lift Kit is a pre-assembled 2" lift solution for the Nissan Navara D40 (2005-2015), pairing monotube front struts with coil springs to extended rear shackles and matching rear shock absorbers. Monotube construction uses an internal floating piston to separate oil and gas, cutting down on foam aeration and fade during sustained off-road or towing use. Because the front struts arrive pre-assembled, fitment time is reduced compared to separate coil spring and shock installs. Backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock with fitment guidance from our team.

Choose your spring rate based on the constant accessory load carried on your Navara D40, not just occasional trip weight. Front load is affected by bull bars, winches and driving lights, while rear load is affected by canopies, drawer systems, water tanks and dual-battery setups. If you're unsure of your accessory weight, our team can help you match the correct front strut and rear shackle combination before you order.
This kit suits an experienced DIY installer with standard hand tools, though professional fitment is recommended given the pre-assembled strut and shackle components. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the monotube shocks and shackle bushes to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and load. For corrected front-end geometry after the lift, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades.
Dobinsons has developed 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with components tested locally against Australian road and track conditions. Every Dobinsons kit sold through 4WD Suspension is backed by a manufacturer's warranty and dispatched from Australian stock. Tradespeople and touring drivers alike run Dobinsons because the parts are designed to suit real accessory loads, not just showroom specs — you can view the full Dobinsons range for other Navara-compatible components.
This kit suits Navara D40 owners fitting larger touring tyres, bull bars or a canopy who want a factory-style ride at a 2" lift rather than a heavy-duty off-road rebuild. Tradespeople carrying tools and tourers running drawer systems benefit from the added ground clearance without a harsh unladen ride. If you're running a constant heavy rear load such as a slide-on camper, also look at our airbag suspension options to support variable payloads.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube Quick-Lift Kit is designed for the Nissan Navara D40 built between 2005 and 2015, covering ST, ST-X and RX series with both the 2.5L YD25DDTi turbo diesel and 4.0L VQ40DE V6 petrol engines. If you're unsure of your exact build date or series, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the Navara D40. Our team can also confirm fitment over the phone or via our contact form before you order.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear on a standard Navara D40. The lift comes from pre-assembled monotube front struts with coil springs paired to extended rear shackles and matching rear shocks. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's accessory load, such as a bull bar or canopy.
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 pre-assembled Dobinsons monotube front struts with coil springs, two rear monotube shock absorbers, two extended rear shackles, and the mounting bushes and hardware needed for front and rear installation. Fitment instructions are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need to correct front geometry at the new ride height.
This kit is designed around standard to moderate accessory loads rather than heavy constant towing loads. If you tow regularly or carry a heavy rear accessory load such as a caravan hitch weight, speak to our team about matching rear spring rate or adding airbag suspension to support variable loads. The front monotube struts and coil springs are suited to typical touring accessories like a bull bar and winch.
Upper control arms are not included in this kit and are not mandatory, but they're recommended once you're running the full 2" lift height. Upgraded arms help correct camber and caster angles and improve CV joint angles at the new ride height. Our control arm range includes options designed to suit lifted D40s.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber, caster and toe settings, and driving on an unaligned front end will cause uneven tyre wear. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km break-in period.
Front strut and rear shackle combinations can be matched to your accessory load — talk to our team before ordering if you're running heavier front-end accessories like a winch bar or heavier rear-end gear like a canopy and drawers. Getting the spring rate right up front avoids a sagging or overly firm ride once the kit is fitted. Contact us with your accessory list and we'll confirm the best combination for your D40.
The 2" lift from this kit typically creates clearance for a moderately larger tyre than standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, width and your D40's body mounts. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full steering lock or suspension compression. Flares or trimming may be needed for larger tyre and wheel combinations.

Yes, this kit is designed to maintain a comfortable, factory-like ride unladen while adding 2" of lift for touring and off-road clearance. The monotube shock design helps manage heat on longer drives without the ride becoming overly firm around town. Many Navara D40 owners run this kit as a daily driver that's also ready for weekend touring.
