You can also view all suspension parts for the Nissan Navara NP300 to ensure complete compatibility.
Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Choose your spring rate based on constant load only — accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle. Constant loads include bullbars, winches, canopies, roof racks with permanent fixtures, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, and water tanks. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing weight, as this will result in an overly firm ride when unloaded and may cause premature wear to other suspension components. Common front accessories include steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries (10-15kg), and aftermarket lighting. If you carry significant constant weight, consider medium or heavy-duty spring options; for minimal accessories, standard or light-duty springs will provide the best ride quality.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this kit. While the pre-assembled design eliminates spring compression work, proper installation requires secure torquing of mounting bolts, verification of brake line clearances, and thorough safety inspection. Wheel alignment is mandatory following installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings, preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining safe handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and dampers to seat properly before final ride height measurement. Depending on final lift height achieved, you may benefit from upgraded control arms to correct ball joint angles and maximize suspension travel, particularly if running larger tyres or seeking maximum articulation off-road.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of proven performance in the toughest conditions our continent can deliver. Every Toughdog product is engineered with Australian roads, loads, and climates in mind, then validated through extensive real-world testing across outback tracks, corrugated roads, and heavy towing applications. Trusted by tradespeople, grey nomads, and serious tourers alike, Toughdog suspension delivers the perfect balance of durability, comfort, and load-carrying capability backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and nationwide dealer support. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for complementary upgrades including rear shocks, steering dampers, and complete lift kit packages.
These assembled foam cell struts are ideal for Navara NP300 owners who have added significant front-end weight through bullbars, winches, and touring accessories, or who require improved off-road capability for remote touring and four-wheel drive adventures. Tradespeople carrying constant tool loads, contractors with ladder racks and equipment, and grey nomads touring with full camping setups will appreciate the enhanced load capacity and fade-free performance. If you regularly tow caravans or heavy trailers, consider pairing these front struts with airbag suspension in the rear for fully adjustable load leveling and maximum towing stability. Weekend adventurers seeking better ground clearance and the ability to fit larger all-terrain tyres will also benefit from the proven lift and improved articulation these struts provide.

These front struts are specifically engineered for Nissan Navara NP300 D23 models (2015-current) equipped with leaf spring rear suspension. This typically includes single cab and extra cab variants. The NP300 was also available with coil spring rear suspension (dual cab models), which requires different front suspension components. Check your vehicle's rear suspension type before ordering, or contact our team to confirm correct fitment for your specific Navara configuration.
These assembled front struts provide approximately 40-50mm of front lift, depending on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's constant load configuration. Actual lift height will vary based on the weight of accessories such as bullbars, winches, and canopies permanently fitted to your vehicle. Springs will settle slightly during the first 500km break-in period, after which final ride height can be accurately measured. This lift height is ideal for leveling the NP300's stance and providing clearance for larger tyres up to 32-33 inches.
This kit includes two complete pre-assembled front strut units with foam cell shock absorbers, heavy-duty coil springs (in your selected load rating), upper strut mounting plates, and all necessary mounting hardware. The struts arrive fully assembled, eliminating the need for spring compressors during installation. This is a front-only kit — rear suspension components including shocks and leaf springs are sold separately. Depending on your vehicle's current setup and desired lift height, you may also need upgraded control arms, which are available separately.
Yes, these foam cell struts significantly improve front-end stability when towing by reducing brake dive and maintaining better nose height under load. The firmer damping and upgraded spring rates help keep your Navara level and controlled when a caravan or trailer is connected. However, for optimal towing performance, we strongly recommend pairing these front struts with upgraded rear suspension — either heavy-duty leaf springs or airbag suspension systems — to properly manage tongue weight and maintain level vehicle attitude under all load conditions.
Control arm upgrades are not always mandatory but are highly recommended depending on your total lift height and intended use. The 40-50mm lift provided by these struts can alter upper ball joint angles, and aftermarket extended control arms help correct geometry, improve suspension articulation, and prevent premature ball joint wear. If you're planning to fit larger tyres (32 inches or above) or maximize off-road capability, upgraded control arms become essential. Our suspension specialists can advise on whether your specific application requires control arm upgrades based on your total lift and driving requirements.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory following installation of any suspension lift or replacement components. Lifting the front of your Navara will alter camber, caster, and toe angles, which can lead to uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and reduced safety if not corrected. A qualified alignment shop should adjust all angles to within manufacturer specifications (or aftermarket recommended settings if control arms are installed) to ensure optimal tyre life, steering feel, and vehicle stability both on and off-road.
Yes, these strut assemblies are available with multiple spring rate options to suit your specific constant load requirements. It's critical to select spring rates based only on permanently fitted accessories such as bullbars, winches, canopies, roof racks, and dual battery systems — not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in an unnecessarily harsh ride when unloaded and may cause premature wear to other components. Our team can help you calculate your front-end weight and recommend the optimal spring rate during your order.
The 40-50mm of front lift provided by these struts, combined with appropriate rear lift, will generally allow fitment of tyres up to 32-33 inches in diameter on the Navara NP300 with minimal or no trimming. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and suspension articulation under compression. Some light trimming of plastic inner guards may be required for maximum clearance at full lock and full compression. For tyres larger than 33 inches, additional modifications including body lifts, guard trimming, and potentially upgraded control arms may be necessary to prevent rubbing.
Toughdog suspension products are backed by a comprehensive Australian manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty coverage typically includes 2-3 years depending on the specific component (check product documentation for exact terms), and is supported through Toughdog's extensive national dealer network. To maintain warranty validity, products must be installed by qualified technicians according to manufacturer specifications, and the vehicle must be operated within design load limits. Warranty does not cover damage from accident, misuse, overloading, or failure to perform required maintenance such as wheel alignment.
Absolutely — these foam cell struts are engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort while significantly improving off-road capability. Unlike older-generation lift kits that prioritized extreme off-road performance at the expense of ride quality, modern Toughdog foam cell technology maintains highway comfort through consistent damping and reduced harshness over bumps and road imperfections. The pre-assembled design ensures proper spring seating and damper alignment for optimal performance. Many owners report improved ride quality compared to worn factory suspension, particularly when the vehicle is loaded to its designed constant weight with touring accessories fitted.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these Toughdog foam cell struts to our NP300 before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride is so much smoother on corrugated tracks, and the kids actually stopped complaining about being bounced around in the back. Really impressed with how well they handle the extra weight when we're loaded up with camping gear and the rooftop tent.(5)
Transformed Our Navara for Outback Travel
Been touring full-time for three years and these Toughdog foam cell struts have completely sorted out the front-end dive we had when loaded up with the camper and gear. The ride quality on corrugated tracks is noticeably smoother than the old setup, and they handled everything from the Gibb River Road to beach driving at Fraser without any dramas. Best upgrade we've done to the Navara since we started travelling, and the pre-assembled units made fitting straightforward for our mechanic in Alice Springs.(5)
Proper Gear for Remote Touring
Been running these Toughdog foam cell struts on my NP300 for six months now through the Simpson Desert and Cape York, and they've handled everything I've thrown at them. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with jerry cans and recovery gear for extended trips. Install was straightforward being pre-assembled units, and they've stayed consistent even after some pretty harsh corrugations and creek crossings.(5)
Best Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these Toughdog foam cell struts to our NP300 before our trip down the Canning and they absolutely transformed the ride quality. The kids actually fell asleep in the back on corrugated roads, which never happened with the old setup. We were carrying a full load of camping gear, water, and recovery equipment, and the front end handled it all without any dramas. Well worth the investment for anyone who does regular touring with the family.(5)
Best upgrade I've made to the Nav
Had these Toughdog foam cell struts fitted to my NP300 about three months back and the difference is night and day. Loaded up with tools and gear during the week, the front end doesn't sag anymore and it handles the corrugated dirt roads out to site way better than the stock setup. Installation was straightforward since they come pre-assembled, and they've held up perfectly through some pretty rough tracks.(5)
