The Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit suits the Nissan Navara D22 (1997-2015) and pairs twin-tube nitrogen gas shocks with 2" raised rear leaf springs for a genuine 2 inch lift front and rear. Front height is set using the factory adjustable torsion bar keys, while the rear leaf springs are rated to carry a heavier constant load for touring gear or a canopy. Fuchs oil, NOK multi-lip seals and double-chromed rods protect the shock internals from dust and corrosion on Australian tracks.

Rear leaf spring choice should match the constant load you carry, not just your heaviest trip. Think about a steel tray or canopy, a bullbar and winch on the front, long-range fuel tanks, a fridge slide, drawers, or a caravan tow ball weight — all of these sit on the springs permanently, not just when packed for a trip. If you're unsure which rate suits your accessory list, our team can help you match the kit to your actual build.
This kit is best fitted by a qualified suspension technician or an experienced DIY installer with the correct tools for torsion bar adjustment and leaf spring work. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring caster and toe back into spec at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning the torsion bar keys. If you're correcting front-end geometry at this lift height, consider pairing the kit with upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has been building suspension for Australian conditions for decades and this kit reflects that local testing background. Every Nitro Gas shock is backed by a manufacturer warranty and built with Fuchs oil, NOK seals and chromed rods rather than budget internals. Tradespeople and remote-area tourers both run Dobinsons gear because it's designed to carry a genuine load, not just look lifted — you can view the full Dobinsons range for other D22 options.
This kit suits Navara D22 owners who tow, carry a canopy or tray load, or head off the black top regularly and want the springs and shocks to keep up with that load. It's a solid fit for tradies running gear in the tray and remote tourers carrying camping equipment day to day. If your accessory load varies a lot trip to trip, it's worth also looking at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height under variable loads.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit is built for the Nissan Navara D22 across DX, ST, ST-R and STX variants from 1997 to 2015. It suits both petrol and diesel models including the KA24, TD27, ZD30 and YD25 engines. If you're unsure which trim or engine you have, our team can confirm fitment before you order. You can also check compatible parts using our Navara parts finder.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear on the Navara D22. Front height is achieved through the factory adjustable torsion bar keys rather than a spring swap, while the rear is lifted by the included 2" raised leaf springs. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's accessory load and torsion bar setting.
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 shocks, 2 x Nitro Gas rear shocks, 2 x 2" raised rear leaf springs, a rear U-bolt kit, rear leaf spring bushes and mounting hardware. Front lift height is set via the factory torsion bar keys, so no front spring components are needed. Full fitting instructions are included with the kit.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are rated for a heavier constant load, which suits Navara D22 owners towing a trailer or caravan. The Nitro Gas shocks are tuned to control that extra load without sacrificing on-road comfort when unladen. If your tow ball weight is on the higher side, talk to our team about the right spring rate for your setup.
Control arm upgrades aren't included in this kit but are worth considering at 2" of lift to correct front-end geometry and CV joint angles. Many Navara D22 owners running this height pair it with aftermarket control arms for better articulation and alignment range. Our team can advise whether your specific build needs them.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this lift kit. Raising the vehicle changes caster, camber and toe, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and keeps steering feel consistent. We recommend booking an alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
Dobinsons offers the D22 rear leaf springs in different constant load ratings, so you can match the kit to your actual accessory list — tray, canopy, bullbar, winch, drawers or fuel tanks. Selecting the right rate keeps the rear sitting level under your everyday load rather than just when empty. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll help confirm the right option.
A 2" lift on the Navara D22 typically creates enough clearance for a moderate tyre size increase, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and tyre width. We recommend checking tyre and wheel combinations with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full steering lock or compression. Wheel alignment after fitting also helps confirm real-world clearance.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase, and our team can provide the specific documentation for this kit on request. We handle warranty support directly, so you're not left dealing with an overseas supplier.
Yes, the Nitro Gas shocks in this kit are valved to keep ride quality comfortable for everyday driving, not just loaded touring or towing. Many D22 owners run this kit as their daily driver while still benefiting from the extra load capacity when needed. Selecting a spring rate that matches your typical accessory load, rather than your heaviest possible load, keeps the ride from feeling firm when unladen.
