Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality and load-carrying performance. Choose your spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, driving lights, and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include steel canopies, drawer systems, dual spare wheel carriers, long-range fuel tanks, and rear bars. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing are not considered constant loads. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will result in a harsh ride and may place unnecessary stress on other suspension components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and vehicle safety. A full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and maintain proper steering geometry. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed in before assessing final ride height and making any adjustments. Depending on your lift height and intended use, you may benefit from upgraded aftermarket control arms to correct castor angles and maximise suspension travel and handling performance.
With over 60 years of Australian suspension manufacturing experience, Dobinsons is the trusted choice for serious 4WD enthusiasts, grey nomads, tradespeople and off-road tourers across Australia. Every Dobinsons shock absorber and spring is designed, tested and validated in-house using state-of-the-art dyno testing equipment and custom-built durability machines that simulate millions of kilometres in Australia's most punishing conditions. Dobinsons products are manufactured to TS16949 International Quality Assurance standards and backed by comprehensive warranty coverage. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for additional upgrades.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas lift kit is ideal for Navara D40 owners who need a reliable, comfortable daily driver that can handle weekend touring, beach driving, remote area travel, and heavy payload work. Tradespeople carrying constant tool loads, families towing caravans or camper trailers, and grey nomads planning extended outback adventures will all benefit from the increased ground clearance, improved suspension articulation, and load-carrying capability this kit provides. If you regularly exceed GVM or tow at capacity, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for additional adjustability and load support.

This kit is specifically engineered for all Nissan Navara D40 models from 2005 to 2015, including Dual Cab, King Cab, and Single Cab configurations. It's a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points with no modifications required. The kit suits both petrol and diesel variants including the YD25 and V6 VQ40 engines. If you have aftermarket modifications or are unsure about compatibility, please check our parts finder or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This Dobinsons kit provides approximately 2 inches (50mm) of lift over standard ride height when correctly installed with appropriate spring rates for your vehicle's constant load. The final lift height may vary slightly depending on your choice of spring rates, installed accessories, and vehicle condition. After the initial 500km break-in period, springs will settle by approximately 10-15mm, so expect a final lift of around 40-45mm. This lift height allows fitment of larger tyres (typically up to 32 inches) and improves approach, departure and breakover angles for off-road driving.
This complete kit includes 2 front Dobinsons Nitro Gas struts, 2 heavy-duty front coil springs, 2 rear Dobinsons Nitro Gas shock absorbers, 2 multi-leaf rear leaf springs, 4 high-tensile U-bolts with nuts and washers, and 1 complete polyurethane leaf spring bush kit. All mounting hardware is included for a straightforward installation. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop kits, and alignment services are not included and may be required depending on your specific setup and intended use.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing applications when the correct rear spring rate is selected based on your constant tow ball weight and rear accessories. The firmer valving and progressive leaf spring design provide superior load control and stability compared to factory suspension. The twin-tube gas shocks resist fade during extended highway towing, maintaining consistent damping even when fully loaded. For maximum towing performance and adjustability, many customers pair this kit with supplementary airbag suspension which allows on-the-fly adjustment for varying loads and eliminates rear squat when hitched.
While upgraded control arms are not mandatory for a 2-inch lift on the Navara D40, they are highly recommended for optimizing castor angles, reducing CV joint angles, and maximizing suspension travel and handling performance. Aftermarket control arms with corrected geometry will reduce tyre scrubbing, improve steering return, and extend the lifespan of CV boots and ball joints. If you engage in serious off-road driving, regular corrugated road travel, or want the absolute best handling and durability, budgeting for quality aftermarket control arms is a worthwhile investment that complements this lift kit perfectly.
Yes, a full 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Navara D40. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry, castor, camber and toe settings which will cause premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and wandering if not corrected. Your installer should perform a precision alignment using factory specifications or aftermarket recommendations once the kit is fully installed and torqued. We also recommend rechecking alignment after the 500km break-in period once springs have settled to their final ride height for optimal tyre life and handling performance.
Spring rate selection is based solely on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional cargo or towing loads. For the front, include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, driving lights and heavy batteries. For the rear, include canopies, drawer systems, dual spare wheel carriers, long-range tanks and rear bars. Do not select heavier springs to account for camping gear, passengers or towing as this results in a harsh, uncomfortable ride when unloaded. If you're between two spring rates, it's generally better to choose the lighter option for improved comfort on daily driving duties.
With a 2-inch lift and appropriate wheel offset, most Navara D40 models can accommodate tyres up to approximately 32 inches in diameter (285/75R16 or 265/70R17) without rubbing under normal driving conditions. Tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, backspacing, and whether you've installed aftermarket control arms or diff drop kits. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards or mud flaps may be required for full articulation off-road. For larger tyres above 32 inches, you'll likely need additional lift height, significant trimming, or aftermarket guards and wider wheel arches to prevent contact at full lock or suspension compression.
All Dobinsons suspension products are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty periods vary by component type and are detailed in the documentation included with your kit. Dobinsons has over 60 years of Australian manufacturing heritage and stands behind their products with excellent customer support. To maintain warranty coverage, professional installation by a qualified technician is strongly recommended, and you should retain all purchase receipts and installation records. Contact us for specific warranty terms and conditions applicable to this kit.
Absolutely — this kit is engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort for daily commuting while significantly improving off-road capability and load-carrying performance. The twin-tube nitro gas shock design with vehicle-specific valving provides controlled damping without the harsh ride often associated with heavy-duty suspension. Natural rubber bushings reduce noise and vibration, while progressive spring rates maintain comfort when lightly loaded and provide support under heavy loads. Thousands of Navara D40 owners across Australia use this exact kit as a reliable daily driver that transitions seamlessly from suburban streets to weekend touring and off-road adventures.
Proper Kit for Remote Aussie Tracks
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift on my D40 for about 8 months now, including some pretty gnarly Cape York and Simpson Desert tracks. The ride quality is genuinely impressive - soaks up the corrugations way better than the old setup and handles a loaded canopy and dual spare setup without sagging. Everything in the kit fitted perfectly and the nitro gas shocks have stayed consistent even in 40+ degree heat pushing through bull dust for days on end.(5)
Perfect Setup for Family Touring and Camping
Fitted this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit to our D40 about six months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and out bush. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with the camper trailer, kids' gear, and all our camping equipment. Installation was straightforward with everything included in the kit, and the difference in clearance has given me way more confidence on rough tracks without making it too stiff for highway driving.(5)
Perfect Setup for My Navara D40
Just finished installing this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit on my D40 and couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the rig. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, even when loaded up for long touring trips, and the fitment was spot on with everything lining up perfectly. Took it through some proper corrugated tracks up near the High Country last weekend and the new shocks handled everything without breaking a sweat. Well worth the investment if you're serious about getting the most out of your Navara.(5)
