Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Select springs based on your constant load — the weight of accessories permanently fitted to your Navara D22. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (30-40kg), winches (30-50kg), heavy-duty batteries, long range fuel tanks and upgraded bumpers. Rear constant loads include steel or aluminium canopies (60-100kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual battery setups, water tanks and permanent toolboxes. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads like camping gear, passengers or towing — these are temporary loads. Over-springing your Navara will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction and potential damage to other suspension components. When ordering, accurately assess only your permanently installed accessories and select the spring rate that matches your constant load category.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit. Installation requires specialized tools, spring compressors, torque wrenches and comprehensive knowledge of suspension geometry. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings — failure to align will cause uneven tyre wear and compromised handling. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed-in before final ride height assessment. Depending on your lift height and driving requirements, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and maximize wheel travel, particularly if running larger tyres or frequent off-road use.

This Dobinsons Nitro Gas 2 inch lift kit (SKU DD22NN1N) is specifically engineered to fit Nissan Navara D22 models manufactured between 1997 and 2015, including single cab, dual cab and king cab body styles. It suits vehicles equipped with 2.5L YD25, 3.0L ZD30, 3.3L VG33 and 2.4L KA24 engines. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement with no modifications required to standard mounting points. If you have a heavily modified D22 or are unsure about your specific variant, our technical team can confirm exact fitment — simply provide your VIN or build date when contacting us.
This Dobinsons kit delivers approximately 50mm (2 inches) of lift at both the front and rear of your Navara D22. The 40mm raised leaf springs provide the rear lift, while the extended front struts are valved and designed to work with the increased ride height. Actual lift height can vary by 10-15mm depending on your vehicle's existing accessory load — heavier bull bars, winches and canopies will compress springs slightly more. After the initial 500km break-in period, springs typically settle 5-10mm, so final installed height should be measured after this settling period and a full wheel alignment.
This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x Dobinsons 40mm raised leaf springs, 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts, and 1 x polyurethane bush kit for the leaf spring mounts. All essential hardware for a direct bolt-in installation is provided. Please note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, and bump stop extensions are not included but may be required depending on your intended use and tyre size — these complementary components are available separately and our team can advise on requirements based on your specific setup.
Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas lift kit is engineered with firmer valving and reinforced leaf springs specifically to handle towing loads up to the Navara D22's rated capacity (typically 2500-3000kg depending on model year and variant). The twin-tube nitrogen gas shocks provide superior heat dissipation and fade resistance during extended highway towing, while the raised leaf springs maintain proper ride height under load. For maximum towing performance and adjustability, many customers pair this lift kit with airbag suspension which allows you to fine-tune rear spring rate based on actual towball weight and provides level ride height regardless of load variation.
While upper control arms are not mandatory for a 2 inch lift on the Navara D22, upgrading to adjustable or extended control arms is highly recommended if you plan to run larger tyres (32 inches or above), undertake serious off-road driving, or want to optimize suspension geometry and wheel alignment. Extended control arms help correct camber and caster angles that can be altered by lifting, improving tyre wear patterns and steering feel. They also provide additional wheel travel clearance for maximum articulation. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific requirements based on your intended use and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular setup.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Navara D22. Lifting the vehicle alters suspension geometry and changes camber, caster and toe angles beyond factory specifications. Without proper alignment, you will experience rapid and uneven tyre wear, reduced steering precision, potential pulling to one side, and compromised handling safety. The alignment should be performed by a qualified suspension or 4WD specialist using a modern laser alignment system, and should be checked again after the initial 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled. Always keep your alignment printout for future reference and suspension tuning.
Yes, Dobinsons offers multiple spring rate options to match your specific constant load requirements. When ordering, you'll need to select front and rear spring rates based on the permanent accessories fitted to your Navara D22. Front spring selection depends on bull bar weight, winch installation, and heavy-duty batteries, while rear spring rates are determined by canopy or tub type, drawer systems, and permanently mounted equipment. It's critical to select springs based only on constant loads — not occasional camping gear, passengers or towing weight. Over-springing will result in harsh ride quality and reduced traction, while under-springing causes sagging and premature component wear. Our team can guide you through the selection process if you're unsure.
With this 2 inch Dobinsons lift kit installed, most Navara D22 owners can comfortably fit tyres up to 31-32 inches in diameter (approximately 265/75R16 or 285/75R16) without rubbing issues during normal driving and moderate wheel articulation. Exact tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and whether you trim or remove the front mud flaps. If you plan to run 33 inch tyres or larger, you may require additional modifications such as guard trimming, diff drop or extended bump stops to prevent contact at full lock or full compression. Always test fit and check clearance through full steering lock and suspension travel before committing to aggressive tyre sizes, and consider that larger tyres may affect gearing, speedometer accuracy and fuel economy.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas lift kit is backed by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Dobinsons is one of Australia's most established suspension manufacturers with over 60 years of proven reliability, and they stand behind their products with full warranty support. Specific warranty terms and duration may vary by component type — shock absorbers and springs typically carry different warranty periods. Full warranty details are provided with your kit, and warranty claims are processed through 4WD Suspension Australia for your convenience. To maintain warranty validity, the kit must be installed by a qualified professional, used within vehicle manufacturer's specifications, and not subjected to competitive motorsport use.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons Nitro Gas lift kit is engineered to provide excellent ride quality and handling for daily commuting, highway cruising and long-distance touring, not just off-road performance. The twin-tube nitrogen gas shock absorbers feature vehicle-specific valving tuned for the Navara D22's weight and characteristics, providing a noticeable improvement in control and comfort over worn factory shocks. While you'll experience a firmer, more controlled ride compared to standard suspension (particularly beneficial when loaded or towing), the Dobinsons Nitro Gas range is designed as a premium everyday shock that balances on-road manners with off-road capability. Thousands of Australian Navara owners run this kit as their daily driver setup with excellent results across mixed driving conditions.
Proper Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift on my D22 for about 18 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's rough coastal tracks. The twin-tube shocks handle corrugations brilliantly and the raised leaf springs still maintain decent load capacity when I've got the tray stacked with fuel and water. Quality's there – everything fitted up properly without drama and the polyurethane bushes have held up perfectly in the dust and heat.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Finally got the Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit fitted to our D22 and couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the rig for our monthly camping trips down the coast and through the High Country. The ride quality is noticeably smoother over corrugations compared to the worn out factory setup, and the kids actually don't complain about the bumps anymore. Everything fitted perfectly and the included quality hardware made the install straightforward for my local mechanic.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for My Old Girl
Had this Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit fitted to my '04 D22 about three months ago and the difference is night and day. Took it through the Simpson Desert last month and the ride quality was absolutely brilliant, soaked up the corrugations way better than the old setup. Everything lined up perfectly during install and the poly bushes seem like they'll handle our harsh conditions no worries.(5)
