Heavy-duty Outback Armour suspension kit to suit Nissan Navara D40 (2005+ 4-cylinder diesel & V6 petrol), offering improved ride, control and load handling for daily driving through to serious touring.
Upgrade your Nissan Navara D40 (2005+ 4-cylinder diesel & V6 petrol) with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit that confidently handles corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still driving comfortably on the highway. Outback Armour builds these kits around heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware to deliver improved control, comfort and load carrying for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Australian engineers design and develop these kits for demanding off-road conditions
Large-body shocks and high-flow pistons maintain consistent damping under load
Matched coil and leaf spring options suit Navara-specific loads and accessories
Clear options cover unladen daily drivers through to heavily loaded touring and work utes
Shock Options: Performance & Adjustable Bypass
Performance Range
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals to deliver a strong all-round ride for mixed on-road and off-road use. These shocks suit daily-driven Navara D40s that regularly see touring, towing and gravel roads without the need for external adjustment.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For maximum flexibility, Adjustable Bypass shocks use an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. This design lets you fine-tune the ride to match changing loads and terrain.
20+ click positions allow precise front and rear tuning
You can quickly adapt the setup for towing, touring or everyday driving
These shocks suit Navara D40s that regularly alternate between empty and fully loaded setups
Set them toward comfort for daily driving, or toward control when carrying heavy loads or tackling demanding off-road conditions.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition, Expedition HD & XHD
Outback Armour matches each kit to how you actually use your Nissan Navara D40. The range focuses on constant load when selecting rear leaf packs, not just lift height.
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly laden Navara D40s and work well for daily driving and weekend trips with occasional camping gear. They improve ride quality, handling and stance without relying on constant rear weight.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits support moderate permanent loads such as rear drawers, fridge setups, medium roof racks or regular touring gear. They add support and control while maintaining a compliant ride when lightly loaded.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits suit Navara D40s that carry heavy, permanent accessories like steel canopies, long-range fuel tanks, full drawer systems and rear bars. These springs maintain correct ride height and stability under sustained load.
Expedition XHD – Extreme Constant Load
Expedition XHD targets vehicles operating at or near GVM with very heavy, constant loads. This option suits work or touring Navara D40s fitted with large steel canopies, tools, spare carriers and extensive touring equipment full-time.
