Choose your leaf spring rate based on what stays fitted to the ute day-to-day rather than an occasional heavy load. Common accessories that affect rear spring selection include a steel bullbar and winch, canopy, tray and toolboxes, dual battery tray and long-range fuel or water tanks. If you're running a heavier constant setup, mention this to our team so we can confirm the right raised leaf spring for your BT50.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a qualified mechanic with spring compressor and torque wrench equipment on hand. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct castor and toe at the new 2" ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the new springs and shocks to settle before a final alignment check. Many BT50 owners also pair this kit with upgraded control arms to restore correct front geometry and CV angles at the raised height.
Dobinsons has over 60 years of suspension engineering behind every kit, with damping and spring rates set up specifically for Australian vehicles and conditions rather than adapted from overseas markets. Each Nitro Gas kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is dispatched from our Australian stock with fitment guidance from our team. Tradespeople, grey nomads and weekend tourers all run Dobinsons gear because the componentry is proven on Australian roads and tracks. You can view the full Dobinsons range for other BT50-compatible parts.
This kit suits BT50 owners who tow a van or trailer, tradies running a canopy and toolboxes, and tourers fitting a bullbar, winch and camping gear. If you're carrying a heavier constant load such as a slide-on camper or long-range tanks, also look at our airbag suspension options to support the rear leaf springs under load.

This Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit is designed for the Mazda BT50 UP series (2011-2015) and UR series (2015-2020), covering both the 3.2L 5-cylinder and 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel variants. It is not a universal kit — the shocks and springs are valved and rated specifically for the BT50 chassis. If you're unsure which series you have, our team can confirm fitment from your rego or VIN before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Mazda BT50. The lift comes from raised coil springs up front and raised leaf springs at the rear, matched to Dobinsons Nitro Gas shocks valved for that ride height. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load already fitted to your ute.
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 Nitro Gas shock absorbers, 2 raised front coil springs, 2 raised rear leaf springs, and the U-bolts and mounting hardware needed for the rear leaf spring fitment. Fitting instructions are included. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if required for your setup.
Yes, the raised rear leaf springs in this kit are built to support a constant accessory load, which makes them suitable for BT50s that tow regularly. The Nitro Gas shocks help control rear-end movement under a loaded trailer or van. If you're towing a heavier van full-time, speak to our team about matching leaf spring rate to your typical ball weight and payload.
A 2" lift on the BT50 changes front suspension geometry, including castor angle and CV joint angles. Upgraded control arms are commonly fitted alongside this kit to correct that geometry and reduce wear on CV boots and bushes. They are not compulsory for the lift to function, but we recommend them for BT50s that see regular off-road use.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes ride height enough to alter camber, castor and toe settings from factory specification. We recommend an alignment straight after fitting, then a second check once the springs have settled after the 500km bedding-in period.
Dobinsons offers this kit with rear leaf springs suited to different constant loads such as a bullbar, winch, canopy or dual battery setup. Tell our team what accessories stay fitted to your BT50 day-to-day and we can confirm the right leaf spring rate for your build. Getting the spring rate right keeps the rear sitting level rather than sagging under constant weight.
The extra 2" of clearance from this kit generally allows for a larger tyre than what fits under the standard BT50 ride height. Exact tyre size clearance depends on your wheel offset and whether you've fitted flares. Our team can advise on maximum tyre size for your specific BT50 setup once we know your wheel width and offset.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our support here in Australia. If a fault is found with a shock or spring within the warranty period, we'll work directly with you and Dobinsons to sort a replacement. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the twin-tube Nitro Gas shock design in this kit is tuned to keep everyday driving comfortable rather than harsh, while still handling corrugations and rough tracks on weekends. Many BT50 owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both commuting and touring. On-road manners stay close to factory feel once the springs have bedded in.
