Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality. This kit includes medium-duty springs suitable for moderate accessory loads. Common front accessories that affect spring requirements include steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), larger batteries, and upgraded intercoolers. Rear accessories include steel tray or canopy (50-100kg), dual spare wheel carriers (40-60kg), rear drawer systems (30-50kg), water tanks, and long-range fuel tanks. If your Navara D40 carries constant heavy accessories totaling more than 100kg on either axle, contact us to discuss heavier-duty spring rates for your specific setup to prevent sagging and maintain proper ride height.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this comprehensive lift kit. The installation process typically takes 6-8 hours and requires specialist spring compressors, torque wrenches, and knowledge of Navara D40 suspension geometry. A full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installation to restore factory castor, camber, and toe settings — failure to align will result in premature tyre wear and poor handling. All shock absorbers should be cycled through their full travel several times before final adjustment, and a 500km break-in period allows springs to settle and dampers to bed in properly. For vehicles lifted 50mm or more, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front-end geometry, improve wheel alignment range, and restore CV angles to safe operating limits.

This MRA Adjustable Lift Kit is perfect for serious Navara D40 owners who demand the ultimate in suspension versatility — from tradies who need payload capacity and towing stability during the week, to weekend warriors tackling Cape York or the Simpson Desert. If you regularly tow heavy caravans, camper trailers, or work trailers exceeding 2000kg, the adjustable damping and upgraded springs handle the load without harsh ride quality. For grey nomads and expedition tourers carrying rooftop tents, dual batteries, long-range tanks, and recovery gear, this kit provides the lift, load capacity, and adjustability to fine-tune ride quality based on your current setup. Frequent load carriers should also consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load support and levelling capability without compromising unladen ride quality.

This kit is engineered specifically for Nissan Navara D40 models from 2005 to 2015, covering all cab configurations including Single Cab, King Cab, and Dual Cab variants. It suits both the 2.5L YD25 diesel and 4.0L V6 petrol engines across RX, ST, and ST-X trim levels. The kit is designed to work with factory suspension mounting points without modification. If you have a Spanish-built D40 or a vehicle with existing aftermarket modifications, we recommend contacting our team to confirm fitment compatibility before ordering.
This Dobinsons MRA kit delivers a genuine 50mm (approximately 2 inches) of lift at both the front and rear when measured at the wheel arch. Actual lift height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's current accessory load, with heavier bull bars, winches, and rear trays potentially reducing final lift height by 10-20mm. The kit maintains balanced front-to-rear geometry for optimal handling and appearance. After the initial 500km break-in period, springs typically settle by 5-10mm, which is factored into the design to achieve the advertised 50mm final lift height.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a 50mm suspension upgrade: two MRA adjustable front shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, two heavy-duty front coil springs, two MRA adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, two raised rear leaf springs, four heavy-duty U-bolts, one polyurethane bush kit, and all necessary mounting hardware. The kit does not include upper control arms, differential drop components, or extended brake lines, which may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and intended use. All adjustment tools and setup instructions are included with the shock absorbers.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA kit excels at towing applications thanks to its 3-way adjustable damping system and upgraded spring rates. You can dial in firmer low-speed compression damping to control vehicle pitch and sway when towing heavy loads, then soften the settings for comfortable unladen driving. The upgraded leaf springs provide increased load capacity to handle towball weight without excessive rear squat. For frequent towing of caravans over 2500kg or if you experience rear sag with heavy loads, we recommend adding supplementary airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling and even greater weight capacity.
While not absolutely essential for a 50mm lift, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to restore optimal suspension geometry and maximize the benefits of your new lift kit. Factory control arms at 50mm lift will experience altered castor angles, reduced CV joint operating angles, and potentially limited wheel alignment adjustment range. Aftermarket extended upper control arms correct these issues, improve highway stability, reduce tyre wear, and provide greater clearance for larger tyres. We can recommend compatible control arm options based on your specific D40 configuration and intended use — contact our team for personalised advice.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit. Raising your Navara D40 by 50mm significantly alters suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe angles across both front and rear axles. Driving without proper alignment will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues. The alignment should be performed after the initial installation and again after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled. Always use a workshop experienced with lifted 4WDs who can adjust alignment to specifications suitable for your modified ride height.
Yes, Dobinsons manufactures this kit with multiple spring rate options to suit different constant accessory loads. The standard kit includes medium-duty springs suitable for moderate accessories like an aluminium bullbar, winch, and basic rear tray setup. If you carry heavy constant loads such as steel bullbars, multiple batteries, steel canopies, or significant drawer systems, heavier-duty spring rates are available and recommended to prevent sagging. Spring selection should be based on the permanent weight of accessories fitted to your vehicle, not occasional cargo. Contact our suspension specialists with details of your accessories and we'll recommend the ideal spring configuration for your Navara D40.
With the 50mm lift provided by this kit, most Nissan Navara D40 models will comfortably accommodate 32-inch tyres (265/75R16 or 285/70R17) without rubbing under normal driving conditions. Some configurations may fit 33-inch tyres (285/75R16) with minor trimming of plastic guards or bash plates, particularly at full lock and full suspension compression. Tyre fitment depends on your wheel offset, rim width, and whether you've installed aftermarket control arms or diff drops. We recommend test-fitting before committing to expensive tyres, and always ensure your chosen tyre size keeps your speedometer error within legal limits and doesn't exceed your vehicle's load rating.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit is covered by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty that protects against defects in materials and workmanship. Shock absorbers and springs carry warranty coverage when installed by a qualified professional and used within their designed operating parameters. Warranty terms require proof of purchase, professional installation, and proper vehicle alignment post-installation. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, misuse, competition use, or modification of components. Full warranty details and conditions are provided with your kit, and our team can answer any specific warranty questions before or after your purchase.
Yes, the Dobinsons MRA kit is specifically designed to deliver excellent daily driving comfort while offering extreme off-road capability when needed. The 3-way adjustable damping system allows you to set softer compression and rebound settings for comfortable highway cruising, absorbing road imperfections and providing a refined ride quality similar to or better than factory suspension. When you head off-road on weekends, simply dial in firmer settings for improved control and reduced body roll. This versatility makes the MRA system ideal for Navara owners who use their vehicle as both a daily driver and weekend adventure vehicle, eliminating the compromise typically required with fixed-rate suspension systems.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons MRA lift kit on my D40 through the Simpson and up Cape York, and the 3-way adjustable damping is a game changer when you're loaded up with gear and water. The monotube shocks stay cool and consistent even on corrugations that would cook lesser setups. Fitment was spot-on and the adjustability means I can dial it in for whatever conditions the track throws at me.(5)
Perfect Setup for Our Family Adventures
Been running this Dobinsons 50mm lift kit on our D40 for six months now and it's completely transformed how the Navara handles when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and kids' gear heading up to Fraser or the High Country. The 3-way adjustable shocks are brilliant – I can soften them up for the bitumen run and firm them up for corrugations without any dramas. Fitment was spot-on and the ride quality is genuinely better than stock, even my wife noticed the difference on our last trip to Blackall Ranges.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the Nav
Been running this Dobinsons lift kit on my D40 for about 6 months now and it's been absolutely faultless. Load up the tray with tools and gear Monday to Friday, then hit the tracks on weekends - the adjustable damping means you can dial it in for whatever you're doing. Ride quality is leagues ahead of the old setup, even when empty. Worth every cent if you're serious about your rig.(5)
Transformed My D40 for Cape York
Been running this Dobinsons MRA lift kit on my Navara for the past 8 months through some serious corrugations on the Gibb River Road and Cape York, and the difference is night and day. The 3-way adjustable damping lets me dial it in perfectly whether I'm loaded up for a month-long trip or just doing a weekend run. Fitment was spot-on with quality components throughout, and the ride quality even when fully loaded puts my mate's imported setup to shame.(5)
Perfect Setup for Family Touring and Beach Trips
Had this Dobinsons 50mm lift kit fitted to our D40 about three months back and it's completely transformed our weekend camping runs down the coast. The adjustable damping is brilliant – we can soften things up when the kids are in the back, then firm it up when we're tackling the rougher tracks out bush. Ride quality is genuinely impressive compared to the old setup, and the Navara sits level even with the roof tent and all our gear loaded up.(5)
