Choosing the right spring rate depends on what you carry day-to-day, not just what you carry occasionally. If your Amarok runs a canopy, drawer system, dual battery setup, bullbar and winch, or tows a caravan or trailer most weekends, match the spring to that constant load rather than picking the lightest option on the shelf. Common accessories that shift the required spring rate include steel trays, canopies, long-range fuel tanks, winches, bullbars and roof platforms — if your load varies significantly week to week, an airbag suspension add-on can help hold ride height consistent across both loaded and unloaded conditions. Our team can help match spring rate to your actual GVM and accessory load before you order.
This kit is a direct bolt-in fit for experienced DIY installers with the correct tools, or your preferred 4WD workshop. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the change in ride height alters camber and caster, and skipping alignment accelerates tyre wear. Allow a 500km bed-in period for springs to settle to final ride height and for shocks to free up. Many Amarok owners fit this kit alongside upgraded control arms to correct front-end geometry and restore joint angles at the higher ride height.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension has manufactured 4WD suspension components from its Australian headquarters for over 60 years, testing every application on in-house dyno and durability rigs before it reaches production. This kit is backed by a manufacturer's warranty, with our team handling warranty support on your behalf. Tradespeople and touring owners run Dobinsons because it's engineered around Australian roads and Australian loads — view the full Dobinsons range for other Amarok-compatible components.
This kit suits Amarok owners running a canopy and tools for work, a camper trailer or caravan for touring, or a bullbar and winch for remote travel. If your load varies week to week — empty for the commute, loaded for a trip away — pairing this kit with airbag suspension keeps ride height consistent at both ends of that range. It's built for Amarok owners who want more capability without turning the vehicle into a dedicated off-road-only rig.

Yes — this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is designed for Volkswagen Amarok models built 2010-2023, including single and dual cab variants fitted with the 2.0L Bi-Turbo TDI or 3.0L V6 TDI engine. It's a direct bolt-in kit using factory mounting points, with no cutting or drilling required. If you're running a non-standard chassis or heavy factory accessories already fitted, contact our team to confirm fitment before ordering.
This kit delivers a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Amarok, using raised coil springs up front and raised leaf springs at the rear. The lift is achieved through spring design rather than spacers, so ride quality and load capacity are maintained. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessories 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 front struts and rear shock absorbers using Dobinsons Nitro Gas twin-tube technology, raised front coil springs, raised rear leaf springs, a polyurethane bush kit, and heavy-duty U-bolts for the rear spring pack. All hardware needed for a direct bolt-in installation is included. Upper control arms are not included and are available separately if you want corrected front geometry at the higher ride height.
Yes, the rear leaf springs and Nitro Gas shocks in this kit suit Amarok owners who tow regularly, with damping tuned to control the extra sprung weight from a loaded tow ball. For constant heavy towing loads, ask our team about matching a firmer rear spring rate to your specific GVM and trailer weight. Pairing this kit with airbag suspension is worth considering if your towing load varies trip to trip.
It's not mandatory, but it's worth considering. At 2" of lift, front control arm angles change slightly, which can affect CV joint and ball joint working angles over time. Many Amarok owners fit upgraded control arms alongside this kit to correct that geometry, particularly if the vehicle also carries a bullbar and winch.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes front camber and caster settings, and running without a post-fit alignment causes uneven, accelerated tyre wear. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after installation, before extended driving.
Dobinsons offers this Amarok kit to suit different accessory loads — talk to our team about your GVM and constant load, whether that's a canopy, bullbar, winch or drawer system, before ordering so we can confirm the right spring rate for your build. Getting the spring rate matched to your actual load keeps ride height and handling correct, both loaded and unloaded.
A 2" lift on the Amarok typically clears a larger tyre than factory fitment, improving ground clearance and approach angle. Actual maximum tyre size depends on your wheel offset, tyre width, and whether guard trimming is needed — our team can advise based on the exact tyre size you're considering.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, and our team handles warranty claims on your behalf as your Australian point of contact. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date on file for any warranty claim. Contact us directly if you have any concerns after installation.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain comfortable on-road manners while adding load capacity and clearance, not just off-road performance. The Nitro Gas shock valving is tuned for a balance of daily driving comfort and control under load, suiting Amarok owners using their vehicle for commuting as well as touring or work duties.
