Japanese shaft seals and German Fuchs shock oil handle the heat cycling that comes with corrugations and long descents, while the raised springs add clearance without a harsh ride at standard load. This complete lift kit suits MU-X owners fitting bull bars, winches or drawer systems who need extra clearance and load support. Dispatched from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choose your spring rate based on the constant accessory weight sitting on the vehicle, not just the total load you carry occasionally. Front accessories like a steel bull bar and winch add sustained weight over the front axle, while rear accessories such as a canopy, drawer system, water and long-range fuel affect rear spring selection. If you're running heavier accessory combinations, speak with our team before ordering so the spring rate matches your actual constant load.
Fitment is best carried out by a qualified suspension workshop or an experienced DIY installer with the correct spring compressors and torque specifications on hand. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit, as ride height changes affect camber and toe settings. Allow a 500km settling-in period for the raised springs and shocks before final alignment if you're planning any additional adjustments. If you're running larger tyres or altered geometry, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms helps correct CV and steering angles at the new ride height.
Dobinsons has built suspension components for Australian conditions for decades, with valving and spring rates developed specifically for local roads and touring use. Every Nitro Gas shock is backed by a manufacturer warranty and built with premium Japanese seals and German Fuchs oil for consistent long-term damping. Explore the rest of the range on our Dobinsons suspension range page to compare shock and spring options for your MU-X.
This kit suits MU-X owners running a bull bar, winch and drawer system who need genuine 2" clearance without sacrificing on-road manners for the daily commute. It's a common fitment for weekend tourers and tradies carrying tools and equipment during the week. If you're regularly at or near GVM with variable loads, also look at our airbag suspension options to support the rear under changing weight.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is built for the Isuzu MU-X from 08/2021 onward, covering LS-M, LS-U, LS-T and X-Terrain trims with the 3.0L turbo diesel engine. It is not designed for pre-2021 MU-X models, which use a different suspension platform. If you're unsure of your build date or trim, check your compliance plate or contact our team before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" lift at the front and a 2" lift at the rear when fitted with the vehicle at standard accessory load. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on the weight of accessories already fitted, such as a bull bar or canopy. Our team can advise on expected height for your specific accessory combination.
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 Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, and matching front and rear raised coil springs. Mounting hardware and bushes are included for the shocks and springs. Upper control arms are sold separately, as not every MU-X setup requires them for correct geometry.
Yes, the raised springs and Nitro Gas shocks in this kit improve load support over standard suspension, which helps with tow ball weight and accessory load. For MU-X owners towing heavier loads regularly, we recommend discussing spring rate options with our team to match your constant accessory and tow weight. Pairing the kit with correctly rated rear springs keeps the vehicle sitting level under a loaded tow bar.
Upper control arm upgrades are not always required with a 2" lift but are recommended if you want to correct CV angles and steering geometry at the new ride height. Some MU-X owners running larger tyres alongside this lift choose to fit upgraded control arms for better range of motion. Our team can tell you whether your specific setup needs them based on tyre size and driving use.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this lift kit. The change in ride height alters camber and toe settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend an alignment straight after fitting and again after the 500km settling-in period.
Spring rate selection depends on the constant accessory weight on your MU-X, such as a bull bar, winch, canopy or drawer system. Dobinsons offers spring options matched to different load levels, and our team can help you pick the right rate before you order. Getting this right keeps the vehicle sitting level rather than sagging under constant accessory weight.
A 2" lift on the MU-X typically creates clearance for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend checking your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchasing to avoid rubbing at full steering lock or suspension travel. Flares or trimming may be needed depending on the tyre size chosen.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our support as an Australian-based supplier. If an issue arises with a shock or spring under normal use, our team will guide you through the warranty process. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty claims.
Yes, the Nitro Gas twin-tube shocks and raised coil springs in this kit are tuned to keep a comfortable ride at standard load, making it suitable for daily commuting as well as touring. The valving is designed to handle everyday road conditions without the harshness sometimes associated with heavier-duty off-road setups. It suits owners who want the extra clearance for touring but still drive the MU-X daily around town.
Great MU-X lift kit
Comfortable on-road with better clearance and control off-road. The MU-X sits perfectly and handles loads much better.(5)
