When people talk about a D22 lift kit, they’re usually looking to improve the capability and stance of their Nissan Navara without compromising reliability. The D22 platform ran for many years, which means there are important differences between model years, cab types and driveline setups. That’s why we only stock lift kits that are designed specifically for the Navara D22, covering petrol and diesel engines, 4x2 and 4x4 models, and both single and dual cab configurations. Whether you’re running a coil front end with leaf rear or a tray-back work ute, the right kit makes all the difference to how the vehicle performs and drives.
Lift options generally fall into two categories: suspension lifts and body lifts. Suspension lift kits raise the vehicle by upgrading springs, shocks and related components, improving ground clearance, approach angles and off-road control. These are popular for touring, off-road use and vehicles carrying accessories like bull bars or winches. Body lift kits, on the other hand, raise the cab and tub independently of the suspension, making them ideal if you want extra tyre clearance or a more aggressive stance without changing ride characteristics. We carry both options in 1-inch, 2-inch and 3-inch lifts, so you can choose a setup that suits how you actually use your Navara.
As a business that supplies 4WD suspension and upgrade solutions across Australia, we understand that no two D22 builds are the same. That’s why we work with proven brands like Superior Engineering, PSR and Bilstein, offering everything from simple body lifts through to premium long-travel suspension systems. Whether your D22 is a daily workhorse, a weekend tourer or a dedicated off-road rig, our range is built to deliver the right balance of clearance, control and durability for Australian conditions.
Lifting a Nissan Navara D22 isn’t just about looks, it’s about how the ute performs in the real world. A quality suspension lift can dramatically improve ground clearance, approach and departure angles, making it easier to tackle ruts, rocks and uneven terrain without scraping underbody components. For drivers who regularly head off-road, tow trailers, or carry extra gear, upgraded springs and shocks help keep the D22 more controlled and predictable, even when it’s fully loaded.
Ride quality is a big concern for many owners, especially if the Navara is also used as a daily driver. A properly matched D22 lift kit won’t make the vehicle harsh or uncomfortable when done right. In fact, premium kits from brands like Bilstein, PSR and Superior Engineering often deliver better damping and stability than tired factory suspension. This translates to improved handling on corrugated roads, reduced body roll, and greater confidence both on and off the bitumen.
Installing a D22 lift kit is a straightforward process when the correct components are used, but there are a few important considerations to keep in mind. Suspension lifts typically require a wheel alignment once fitted, and depending on lift height, may benefit from supporting upgrades such as extended brake lines or corrected geometry components. Body lift kits are generally simpler, but need to be matched to cab type, tray or tub configuration to ensure everything lines up properly.
Legality is another key factor, as lift height limits vary across Australia. Most states allow a modest increase in ride height when suspension, tyres and body lifts are combined, provided the vehicle remains safe and compliant. We always recommend checking local regulations or speaking with a qualified installer before going beyond common lift sizes. Choosing a reputable, engineered kit helps ensure your D22 remains roadworthy and insurable.
