The Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit for the Nissan Navara D40 (2005-2015) pairs twin-tube nitro gas shocks with heavy-duty coil and leaf springs for a genuine 2" lift front and rear. Front shocks run a 35mm bore and rear shocks a 32mm bore, both with double-chromed 18mm hardened rods and premium German Fuchs oil for fade-free damping on corrugated tracks. Constant-load spring rates handle bull bars, winches, canopies and drawer systems without a harsh unladen ride.

Choose spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to the vehicle, not occasional cargo or passengers. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, driving lights and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include steel canopies, drawer systems, dual spare wheel carriers and long-range fuel tanks. Fitting springs rated heavier than your actual load produces a harsh ride and unnecessary wear on other suspension components.
Fitment by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is recommended to get torque specs and ride height correct on the D40's coil-over-shock front and leaf-sprung rear. A full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and keep steering geometry accurate. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs to settle and shocks to bed in before final assessment. At 2" of lift, many owners pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle and restore front suspension travel.
Dobinsons has manufactured suspension in Australia for over 60 years and validates every spring and shock in-house using dyno and durability test rigs before release. Components are built to TS16949 International Quality Assurance standards and covered by manufacturer warranty. Tradespeople, grey nomads and weekend tourers across Australia run Dobinsons kits — view the full Dobinsons range for other suspension upgrades.
This kit suits Navara D40 owners running a bull bar, winch or rear canopy who need matched spring rates rather than a generic lift. Tradespeople with constant tool loads and grey nomads towing camper trailers will notice the biggest difference in ride control and payload capacity. If you regularly run at or near GVM, consider adding airbag suspension for extra load adjustability on top of this kit.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit is built specifically for the Nissan Navara D40 across Dual Cab, King Cab and Single Cab configurations from 2005 to 2015. It is not a universal kit — the coil springs, leaf springs and shock valving are all matched to the D40's weight distribution. If you are unsure of your exact build, use our Navara D40 parts finder or contact our team with your rego or VIN.
This kit delivers a genuine 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Navara D40. Front lift comes from heavy-duty raised coil springs, and rear lift comes from raised leaf spring assemblies. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on the spring rate selected and any constant accessory load already fitted to your vehicle.
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 shock absorbers, 2 x rear shock absorbers, 2 x heavy-duty front coil springs and 2 x rear leaf spring assemblies. It also includes the U-bolts, spring pins, shackle bushes and rubber bushings needed to fit the springs and shocks. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately.
Yes, the heavy-duty coil and leaf springs plus firmer nitro gas shock valving are designed to improve stability when towing a van or trailer. The progressive spring rates keep the rear of the D40 settled under tow ball weight rather than sagging. If you tow at or near GVM regularly, pairing this kit with airbag suspension gives extra load-levelling adjustability.
It is not compulsory, but at 2" of lift many D40 owners upgrade front control arms to correct castor angle and restore suspension travel. This improves handling and reduces CV joint wear compared to running factory arms at height. Speak with our team about control arm options for your specific use, whether that is daily driving or heavier off-road work.
Yes, a full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the D40 by 2" changes the front castor and toe settings, and skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and vague steering. We recommend booking alignment with a suspension specialist straight after fitment, then rechecking after the 500km break-in period.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this kit with different front and rear spring rate options to match your constant accessory load. Tell our team what you run permanently — bull bar, winch, canopy, drawers or long-range tank — and we will confirm the correct rate. Selecting a rate heavier than your actual load results in a harsher ride than necessary.
A 2" lift on the Navara D40 typically opens up clearance for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our fitment team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full lock or compression.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by their TS16949 International Quality Assurance manufacturing standard. We handle warranty claims through our Australian warehouse, so you are not dealing with an overseas supplier. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty reference.
Yes, the natural rubber bushings and vehicle-specific valving in this kit are tuned to keep the ride comfortable for daily commuting, not just off-road use. Many Navara D40 owners run this kit as their only suspension upgrade for years of mixed daily driving, touring and load carrying. The 500km break-in period is when ride quality settles to its final feel.
