The Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2" Lift Kit suits the Isuzu D-Max (2012-2019) and delivers a 2" lift front and rear using twin-tube nitro gas shocks with valving tuned specifically for the D-Max chassis. Front coil springs and raised rear leaf springs lift load capacity while extending wheel travel over corrugations and washouts. Japanese NOK seals and German Fuchs oil keep the twin-tube design working cleanly through repeated heat cycles on long trips.

Choose your spring rate based on what your D-Max carries day to day, not just what's fitted on the day of purchase. Front-end accessories like bull bars, winches and dual battery trays add constant weight that affects front spring selection, while rear accessories such as steel trays, canopies, water tanks, drawer systems or a caravan tow ball load determine the correct rear leaf spring rate. Our fitment team can help match a spring rate to your actual accessory list before you order.
Fitting this kit involves compressing and swapping coil springs and re-mounting leaf springs under load, so we recommend professional installation or an experienced DIY fitter with the right spring compressors and safety equipment. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height — skipping this step accelerates tyre wear. Allow around 500km for the nitro gas shocks and springs to bed in before a final alignment check. If you're running heavier front-end accessories, pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct geometry and CV angles at the new height.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with kits validated on local test rigs rather than adapted from overseas specs. This Nitro Gas kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is fitted regularly by workshops around the country on D-Max utes running canopies, camper trailers and tow setups. Browse the full Dobinsons range to compare this kit against other lift options for your D-Max.
This kit suits tradespeople running steel trays and toolboxes, tourers fitting bull bars and camper trailers, and caravan owners who need the rear end to sit level under tow ball weight. If your D-Max carries genuinely heavy, variable loads — water tanks, generators, camper trailers — pair this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support on top of the leaf spring upgrade.

Yes, this kit is built for Isuzu D-Max TF models manufactured 2012 to 2019, covering SX, LS-M, LS-U and LS-Terrain variants in dual cab and space cab configurations. The shocks use valving and mounting points specific to this generation of D-Max, so it is not a universal-fit product. If you have a 2020-on D-Max (RG generation), this kit is not the correct match — check with our team for the right option. Confirm your build date and variant against our parts finder before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear on the Isuzu D-Max 2012-2019. Lift comes from raised front coil springs and raised rear leaf springs, paired with twin-tube nitro gas shocks matched to the new ride height. Actual lift measured at your vehicle can vary slightly depending on accessory weight already fitted. Our team can talk you through expected results for your specific setup.
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 nitro gas struts, rear nitro gas shocks, front coil springs, rear leaf springs, U-bolt kits and shackle bushes for the rear leaf spring mounting, plus all necessary fitting hardware. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your D-Max needs corrected geometry at ride height. See the full kit contents list on this page for exact quantities. Contact us if you're unsure whether you need additional components for your specific accessories.
Yes, this kit is a common choice for D-Max owners towing camper trailers or caravans. The rear leaf springs are rated to carry constant accessory load, which helps keep the rear end level under tow ball weight rather than sagging. For very heavy or highly variable towing loads, we'd suggest pairing this kit with airbag suspension for extra adjustable support. Talk to our team about your tow ball weight so we can confirm the right spring rate.
At a 2" lift height, many D-Max owners run this kit on factory control arms without issue, but geometry and CV joint angles are improved by fitting upgraded control arms. If you're running larger tyres or towing regularly, upgraded control arms help maintain correct camber and reduce strain on CV joints. Our fitment team can advise based on your exact D-Max variant and how it's used. It's not a mandatory pairing but a common upgrade with this kit.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the ride height changes camber, caster and toe, and skipping alignment will accelerate uneven tyre wear. We recommend a full alignment once the suspension has settled, generally after the initial 500km bedding-in period. This is standard practice with any lift kit installation, not specific to this Dobinsons kit.
Yes, Dobinsons offers different leaf spring load ratings for the D-Max rear end depending on what accessories you're carrying constantly. Front coil spring selection can also be matched to bull bar and winch weight. The right choice depends on your actual accessory list — bull bars, canopies, water tanks, trays and towing gear all affect the ideal rate. Contact our team with your accessory details and we'll confirm the correct spring rate before you order.
A 2" lift on the D-Max typically creates clearance for larger tyres than factory, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset and whether you've trimmed guard liners. Many owners run up to 33" tyres with this style of lift, but we recommend confirming your wheel and tyre combination with our team before purchasing. Tyre rubbing can still occur on full lock or full compression with the wrong offset. Get in touch with your wheel width and offset details for a specific answer.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, and it's dispatched from our Australian stock. Warranty terms can vary slightly by component, so contact our team for the exact warranty period applicable to the nitro gas shocks and springs in this kit. We also provide fitment support if you have questions during or after installation. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed to work as a daily driver setup as well as for towing and touring. The twin-tube nitro gas shock technology is tuned to keep on-road comfort reasonable at the 2" lift height rather than being a harsh, off-road-only tune. Many D-Max owners run this kit on their daily commute and for weekend touring without swapping components. If your driving is mostly around town with occasional heavy loads, our team can help confirm the best spring rate for that mix of use.
