The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable 2" Lift Kit suits the Nissan Navara D40 (2005-2015) and pairs monotube remote-reservoir shocks with 3-way external damping adjustment front and rear. A 2" lift front and rear opens up clearance for larger tyres while vehicle-specific coil and leaf springs restore ride height once accessories are fitted. The 3-way dial lets you tune compression and rebound for unladen touring or a loaded tray without swapping components. Backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment support from our team — browse the full 4WD lift kit range for other D40 options.

Choose your front and rear spring rate based on the constant accessory load fitted to the vehicle, not just the vehicle's kerb weight. Common front loads include a steel bull bar, winch, and driving light bar; common rear loads include a canopy, dual battery tray, long-range fuel tank, or drawer system. Our team can confirm the right leaf spring rate for your D40's accessory setup before you order — get in touch via our contact page.
This kit is best fitted by a qualified suspension technician or an experienced DIY installer with the correct spring compressors and torque specs on hand. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling and break-in period before final alignment and torque checks. Pairing the kit with upgraded control arms corrects front CV and steering angles that shift once the D40 sits 2" higher.
Dobinsons has built suspension for Australian conditions for decades, with MRA shocks valved and tested locally rather than adapted from overseas market data. Every MRA kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team for D40-specific questions. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers running D40 trays and canopies rely on this range for consistent damping under repeated load — view the full Dobinsons range.
This kit suits Navara D40 owners running a canopy, tray, or camper who need corrected ride height and adjustable damping rather than a fixed-rate shock. It's also a solid fit for tradespeople carrying tools daily and tourers towing a van on weekends who want one kit to handle both loaded and unladen driving. If your accessory load varies significantly trip to trip, ask us about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
This Dobinsons MRA 2" Lift Kit is in stock in Australia for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment against your D40's build date and accessories before you order. Browse our full lift kit range or get in touch if you need help choosing the right spring rate.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is built specifically for the Nissan Navara D40 built between 2005 and 2015, covering 2.5L YD25 turbo-diesel, 3.0L V9X turbo-diesel, and 4.0L VQ40 petrol variants. It's designed as a direct bolt-on using factory mounting points, no cutting or drilling required. If you're unsure of your build date or engine variant, check our D40 parts finder or contact our team before ordering.
This kit delivers a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the D40 once fitted with the supplied coil and leaf springs. The MRA shocks are matched in length and travel to this lift height, so front and rear geometry stays correct without needing extended brake lines in most configurations. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's existing accessory load.
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 front and 2 rear Dobinsons MRA adjustable monotube remote-reservoir shock absorbers, 2 front coil springs, 2 rear leaf springs, and all associated mounting hardware and U-bolts. Fitting instructions are included with the kit. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required for your setup.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are available in different constant load ratings, so you can match the spring rate to your typical towing and accessory load. The 3-way adjustable MRA shocks let you firm up damping when towing a van or trailer and back off for unladen driving. Speak with our team about your tow ball weight and accessories so we can confirm the right rear spring rate.
A 2" lift on the D40 changes the front control arm angle, which can affect CV joint life and steering geometry over time. We recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct this angle, particularly if the vehicle will carry a front bull bar or winch. It's not mandatory for every setup, but our fitment team can advise based on your accessories and driving conditions.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes caster and toe settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend an alignment check again after a 500km settling period once the springs have bedded in.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this MRA kit with different rear leaf spring load ratings to suit varying accessory and touring loads on the D40. Front coil springs are matched to standard or accessory-loaded nose weight. Our team can help you select the correct rate based on your bull bar, winch, canopy, and typical payload before you order.
The 2" lift from this kit creates additional clearance that allows most D40 owners to fit a moderately larger tyre than factory, depending on wheel offset and body modifications. Exact tyre clearance depends on your rim width and offset, so we recommend checking with our team if you're planning a specific tyre size. Some setups may still need minor trimming for full articulation off-road.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in the MRA shocks and springs. Our team can provide the specific warranty term and claims process at the time of purchase. We also provide fitment support before and after your order to help you get the setup right.
Yes, the MRA shocks' 3-way adjustment lets you set a softer damping profile for daily commuting and firm it up when loaded or towing. Many D40 owners run this kit as their daily driver while still using the vehicle for towing and touring on weekends. The vehicle-specific spring rates are chosen to keep the ride comfortable unladen rather than overly stiff.
