Choosing the right front spring comes down to what's permanently mounted on the front of your D40. A steel bull bar, winch, or driving light bar adds constant weight that a standard raised spring may not fully support at the correct ride height. Common front-end accessories to account for include bull bars, winches, snorkels and light bars — tell our team what you're running and we'll confirm the spring is right for your setup.
This kit suits an experienced DIY fitter with the correct strut compressor tools, though most customers have it installed by a professional workshop or one of our fitment partners. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber and caster back within factory tolerance. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the springs and struts to settle before fine-tuning alignment again. If you're lifting the D40 for heavier touring loads, pairing this kit with control arm upgrades corrects suspension geometry and CV angles at the new ride height.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension components in Australia and overseas for decades, with local valving and spring rates developed for Australian vehicle weights and roads rather than a one-size-fits-all export tune. Every Nitro Gas strut in this kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is dispatched from Australian stock. Explore the full Dobinsons range to match this front kit with compatible rear components.
This kit suits D40 owners who've fitted a bull bar or winch and want front ride height restored, along with tourers running a rooftop tent or drawer system who need predictable front-end control off-road. Tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily will notice reduced front sag, and if you're also running heavy constant rear loads or towing, our airbag suspension range can help manage variable rear payload.

This Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" front lift kit is built for the Nissan Navara D40 across the 2005-2015 model range, covering both the 2.5L YD25DDTi diesel and 4.0L VQ40DE petrol variants. The struts bolt onto the factory front mounting points without cutting or drilling. If you're unsure which D40 variant you have, use our parts finder for the Navara D40 or contact our team with your build date.
This kit provides a 2" front lift on the Navara D40 using raised coil springs matched to the pre-assembled Nitro Gas struts. This is a front-only kit, so rear ride height is unchanged unless paired with a rear spring or shock upgrade. The 2" lift is enough to clear a bull bar's added weight and improve clearance for larger tyres.
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 pre-assembled Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts with 35mm bore twin-tube construction and 2 x matched 2" raised front coil springs. Multi-lip NOK seals and Fuchs hydraulic oil are already installed in each strut. All mounting hardware needed for the front strut installation is included, along with fitting instructions.
This front lift kit helps support the added weight of a bull bar or winch that often causes front-end sag on a towing rig, but it doesn't add rear load capacity on its own. For D40 owners regularly towing a caravan or trailer, we'd recommend matching this with an upgraded rear leaf spring or airbag setup. Speak with our team about your typical laden weight so we can confirm the right combination.
At a 2" lift, many D40 owners run the factory control arms without issue, but correcting geometry with upgraded control arms improves CV joint angles and camber correction at the new ride height. This becomes more important if you're also running larger diameter tyres or doing regular off-road driving. Our team can advise based on your specific tyre size and use case.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" front lift changes camber and caster angles, and correct alignment prevents uneven tyre wear and maintains steering feel. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after the 500km bed-in period once the springs and struts have settled.
This kit is supplied with a standard 2" raised front coil spring matched to the strut valving in this kit. If you're running heavier front accessories like a winch and steel bull bar together, contact our team to check whether a firmer front spring option is available for your D40 configuration before ordering.
A 2" front lift on the D40 typically improves clearance for a modest tyre size increase over factory, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and rear ride height as well. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before purchase, particularly if you're also fitting larger rear tyres or a rear lift.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas front lift kit is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms apply to normal on-road and off-road use as intended for a 4WD suspension component. Contact our team if you need the specific warranty period confirmed for your purchase.
Yes. The twin-tube Nitro Gas strut design and Australian-developed valving are set up to maintain a comfortable ride on sealed roads while still handling corrugations and rough tracks when needed. Many Navara D40 owners run this kit as their daily driver and weekend tourer without a harsh or unsettled ride. The 500km bed-in period allows the springs to settle into their final ride height before daily use.
