Choose your front spring rate based on the constant load permanently fitted to the Colorado's front end — not occasional loads like camping gear. Common front accessories affecting spring rate include steel bullbars (25-45kg), winches (30-50kg), dual battery systems, larger batteries and driving light bars. Fitting a heavier spring than your constant load requires results in a harsher ride and unnecessary wear on bushings and other suspension components.
This kit is suited to professional installation or an experienced DIY mechanic with spring compressor tools and appropriate safety equipment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct castor, camber and toe, preventing uneven tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and bushings to seat before final ride height is reached. Owners running significant front-end accessory weight should consider upgraded control arms alongside this kit to restore correct suspension geometry.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension has manufactured suspension components in Australia for decades and is used by touring families, tradespeople and fleet operators. Every strut in this kit is dyno tested and durability cycled before release, and the kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer's warranty. View the full Dobinsons range for matched front and rear components.
This kit suits Colorado RG owners who've fitted a steel bullbar and winch and need to restore ride height, plus tradespeople and tourers wanting firmer, more controlled handling under a constant front load. If you're also carrying heavy rear loads or towing near GVM, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load levelling.

This kit is built for the Holden Colorado RG produced from 2012 to 2020, fitted with the 2.5L or 2.8L diesel engine. The front struts bolt directly to the factory mounting points, so no drilling or fabrication is required. If you're unsure of your build date or engine variant, use our parts finder or contact our fitment team before ordering.
This front strut kit raises the Colorado RG by 2" at the front axle, using vehicle-specific coil springs matched to the nitro gas struts. Actual height gained depends on the constant load carried on the front end, such as a bullbar or winch. Rear lift should be matched separately with compatible leaf springs for a level stance front to rear.
The kit includes two pre-assembled Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts with coil springs already fitted, natural rubber bushings, steel dust covers where applicable, and mounting hardware. Rear springs and shocks are sold separately, as are upper and lower control arms. See the Kit Includes list above for the full component breakdown.
Yes. The front struts use firmer valving than the factory Colorado setup, reducing front-end dive under braking and improving stability when towing. For rear sag under a loaded caravan or trailer, pair this front kit with upgraded leaf springs or airbag suspension at the rear.
It depends on your lift height and accessory load. At 2" of front lift, most Colorado RG owners run factory control arms without issue, but vehicles carrying heavy winches or larger tyres may benefit from upgraded control arms to restore geometry. Contact our team and we can advise based on your specific setup.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Lifting the front end changes castor, camber and toe settings, and correct alignment prevents premature tyre wear and maintains steering feel. Book an alignment straight after fitment, then recheck after the 500km break-in period.
Yes. Spring rate should match the constant load permanently fitted to your Colorado's front end, such as a steel bullbar (25-45kg) or winch (30-50kg). Occasional loads like camping gear don't factor into front spring selection. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll recommend the right spring rate for your build.
A 2" front lift on the Colorado RG typically clears larger tyres than the factory setup, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width and whether the rear is lifted to match. Confirm your intended tyre size with our fitment team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full steering lock or under compression.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in the struts and springs. Contact our team for the exact warranty period and terms applying to this kit. We also provide fitment support if you have questions before or after installation.
Yes. The struts use natural rubber bushings to reduce noise, vibration and harshness, and the valving balances unladen daily comfort with the ability to carry a constant load. Many Colorado RG owners run this kit as a daily driver while towing or carrying work equipment on an ongoing basis.
