The Dobinsons Monotube Suspension Kit delivers a 2" front lift for the Mitsubishi Pajero NM-NX (2000-ON), pairing monotube shock technology with heavy-duty coil springs rated for touring accessories and adjustable coilover spanners for fine ride-height tuning. Monotube construction sheds heat faster than twin-tube shocks on long corrugated runs, and the coilover spanners let you dial in ride height without swapping springs. Check all suspension parts for the Pajero NM-NX or browse our full lift kit range for rear options. In stock in Australia now, backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choosing the right front spring rate comes down to what's permanently bolted to the front of your Pajero. A steel bull bar, winch and driving lights add constant weight that a standard-rate spring will sag under, so heavier-rated coils are needed for vehicles carrying this gear. Common front accessories affecting spring selection include steel bull bars, electric winches, dual battery trays and driving light bars. If your Pajero is unmodified up front, the heavy-duty rate in this kit is the right starting point — contact our team if you're unsure which rate suits your setup.
This kit is a bolt-in fit for the NM-NX front end and suits an experienced DIY installer with a spring compressor, or your usual workshop. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — a 2" lift changes camber and caster enough to affect tyre wear if left unset. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the monotube shocks and coil springs to settle before fine-tuning ride height with the coilover spanners. If your Pajero needs corrected front geometry at this height, pair the kit with upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has engineered 4WD suspension in Australia since the 1970s, tuning shock valving and spring rates for local roads and touring conditions rather than adapting overseas specs. This kit carries Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is used by tourers and tradespeople running accessories that need supporting spring rates. View the full Dobinsons range for matching rear shocks, coil springs and leaf springs for your Pajero.
Full manufacturer specifications are available on the official Dobinsons website.
This kit suits Pajero owners running a bull bar, winch or driving lights who need the front ride height and spring rate to match that extra weight. It's also a solid base for tourers wanting extra tyre clearance without altering rear load capacity. If you're carrying variable rear loads like a caravan or camper trailer, look at airbag suspension to complement this front kit.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube kit is designed for Mitsubishi Pajero NM, NP, NS, NT and NX series built from 2000 onward. Fitment covers both the 3.2L DiD turbo diesel and 3.5L/3.8L V6 petrol variants across this model range. If you're unsure which chassis code your Pajero carries, check your compliance plate or contact our team with your VIN. We also stock rear suspension components if you're upgrading the whole vehicle.
This kit provides a 2" front lift only, achieved through the heavy-duty coil springs and monotube shocks combined with the adjustable coilover spanners. Rear lift is not included in this kit — if you need a matching rear lift, check our leaf spring and coil spring ranges for the Pajero. The 2" figure is the industry-standard measurement at the spring perch, not a raw millimetre conversion. Final ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and accessories fitted.
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 x Dobinsons monotube front shock absorbers, 2 x heavy-duty coil springs rated for a 2" front lift, and 2 x adjustable coilover spanners for fine-tuning ride height. Upper and lower shock mounting bushes are also included. Rear shocks, rear springs and control arms are sold separately, so check the full kit contents list before ordering if you need a complete front-to-rear upgrade.
This kit is a front-only lift and spring upgrade, so it doesn't directly change your towball load or rear capacity. It's well suited to Pajeros carrying a front bull bar, winch and driving lights, which is common on tow rigs. For rear support under a loaded caravan or trailer, we'd recommend pairing it with a rear coil upgrade or airbag suspension. Talk to our team about matching front and rear setups for your specific towing load.
At a 2" front lift, control arm upgrades are not always mandatory but are recommended to fully correct caster angle and CV joint operating angles. Standard control arms can usually accommodate a 2" lift within factory alignment tolerance, though geometry will be at the edge of its range. We suggest checking alignment specs with your fitting workshop and considering upgraded control arms if you plan to run this lift long-term or add more front weight.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. A 2" front lift changes both camber and caster angles enough to cause uneven tyre wear if the vehicle isn't realigned. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitting and again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs and shocks have settled. Skipping alignment is the most common cause of premature tyre wear on lifted Pajeros.
This kit ships with a heavy-duty front spring rate suited to Pajeros running a bull bar, winch and driving lights. If your front-end accessory load is lighter or heavier than this, contact our team — Dobinsons offers multiple spring rate options across their Pajero range and we can advise the right rate for your specific setup. Getting the spring rate right avoids sag on one end and a harsh ride on the other.
A 2" front lift typically clears larger tyres than the factory fitment, though exact clearance depends on wheel width, offset and whether you've trimmed any plastic guards. Many Pajero owners run up to 33" tyres with this front lift, but we recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team before ordering. Rear tyre clearance depends on your rear suspension setup, which is sold separately from this front kit.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, covering the monotube shocks and coil springs against manufacturing defects. Contact our team for the specific warranty terms and claim process, and keep your proof of purchase from 4WD Suspension Australia on file. As an authorised Dobinsons stockist, we can help facilitate any warranty claims directly.
Yes, the monotube shocks in this kit are valved to keep small-bump compliance for sealed roads while still handling corrugations and rough tracks. Many Pajero owners run this exact kit as their daily driver, with the added benefit of supporting a bull bar and winch without sagging the front end. Ride comfort on-road is comparable to standard height once the 500km bedding-in period is complete and alignment is set.
