The Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit for the Nissan Patrol Y62 (2010-ON) pairs twin-tube nitrogen-charged shock absorbers with progressive-rate coil springs to deliver a genuine 2" of lift front and rear. The nitro gas charge reduces oil aeration on corrugated tracks, giving more consistent damping than a standard oil-only shock. Progressive coil rates hold factory-plus ride comfort unladen while adding capacity for bar work, a winch, or a drawer system. This complete lift kit is dispatched from Australian stock with Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Spring rate should match the constant accessory load carried on your Y62, not just the vehicle's kerb weight. Front load is affected by bull bars, winches and driving lights, while rear load is affected by drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, fridges and touring canopies. If you're unsure of your constant load, our team can help you match a progressive rate that sits level unladen and controls sag once accessories are fitted.
Fitment is a bolt-on job for an experienced workshop or a competent DIY installer with standard hand tools and a spring compressor. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation because ride height and suspension geometry change with any 2" lift. Allow a 500km break-in period for the new springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning alignment settings. If you're running heavier accessories, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms corrects control arm angles and driveline geometry at the new ride height.
Dobinsons has been manufacturing 4WD suspension in Australia for over 60 years, with development work carried out on local roads rather than imported off the shelf. Each Nitro Gas kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our team for fitment questions specific to your Y62. You can view the full Dobinsons range to see how this kit fits into their broader lift and touring line-up.
This kit suits Patrol Y62 owners who tour with camping gear, tow a van or trailer, or run permanent accessories like bar work and drawers. Tradespeople carrying tools and equipment will benefit from the added load capacity, while tourers gain clearance for larger tyres and rougher tracks. If your rear load varies significantly trip to trip, it's worth also looking at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height under variable loads.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is in stock in Australia and dispatched fast from our warehouse, with our team available to confirm fitment before you buy. Browse our full lift kit range to compare options for your Patrol Y62.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is built specifically for the Nissan Patrol Y62, covering the 2010-ON model range fitted with the 5.6L V8 petrol engine. It's not a universal-fit kit — the shocks and springs are matched to Y62 mounting points and factory geometry. If you have an early or late build Y62 with any factory options, contact our team to confirm your exact fitment before ordering.
This kit provides a genuine 2" lift at both the front and rear over standard Y62 ride height. The lift comes from a combination of the progressive-rate coil springs and matched shock length, not just spacers. Actual ride height gain can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's accessory load and spring settling after the break-in period.
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 front and 2 rear progressive-rate coil springs, spring seats and isolators, and the mounting hardware and bushes needed for shock installation. Fitting instructions are included. Upper and lower control arms are not part of this kit and are sold separately if needed.
Yes, the progressive-rate rear coil springs are designed to add load capacity over standard springs, which helps support tow ball weight and rear-heavy accessory loads. The Nitro Gas rear shocks are matched to that increased spring rate to control body movement while towing. For frequent towing with variable loads, ask our team whether an airbag assist would suit your setup better than a heavier spring rate alone.
Control arms are not included in this kit and are not always mandatory at a 2" lift, but they are worth considering. Raising ride height changes control arm angles slightly, which can affect caster and driveline geometry. If you tow regularly or run this lift with heavier accessories, upgraded control arms help maintain correct alignment settings and reduce wear on bushes.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height and suspension geometry change with a 2" lift, which alters camber, caster and toe from factory settings. We recommend an alignment straight after fitting, then a check again after the 500km break-in period once the springs have settled.
Dobinsons offers progressive-rate springs matched to this kit's standard specification for typical touring loads. If your Y62 carries a heavier constant load — such as a permanent canopy, dual battery tray or long-range fuel tank — talk to our team about whether a firmer rate suits your setup better than the standard kit spring.
A 2" lift on the Y62 typically creates extra clearance for larger diameter tyres compared to standard, though exact tyre size depends on your wheel offset and any guard trimming. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on realistic clearance for your combination.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, which applies to genuine manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs. We handle warranty support directly through our Australian-based team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue comes up. Keep your proof of purchase and installation details on hand for any warranty claim.
Yes, the progressive-rate spring design is intended to keep an unladen ride comparable to standard while adding capacity when loaded. Many Y62 owners run this kit as their daily setup and use the added clearance and load capacity for occasional touring or towing. If your Patrol is unladen most of the time, the progressive rate avoids the harsh ride that a linear heavy-duty spring can give.
