Suspension Kits – Explaining the Differences for Nissan Patrol Y62

If you own a Nissan Patrol Y62, you’ve probably already discovered one thing very quickly — suspension choice makes a huge difference to how the vehicle drives, tows, and performs off-road.

At Enhanced Off‑Road, suspension upgrades are one of the most common conversations we have with Y62 owners. From daily driving and towing to touring and weekend four-wheel-driving, choosing the right suspension setup is all about understanding what each option actually does.

In this guide, we break down the most common suspension options for the Nissan Patrol Y62, explain the differences between them, and help you understand what setup is best for your driving style.

Factory & Stock Coil Options Explained

The Nissan Patrol Y62 comes factory-equipped with standard coils designed primarily for comfort and on-road use. While this works well for everyday driving, many owners quickly find the factory setup a little too soft once they:

• Add towing loads
• Carry accessories
• Venture off-road
• Want extra ground clearance

Some models also run Warrior coils, which are still considered stock standard but use a variable rate design. These offer a small improvement in load handling, but for many owners, they still don’t quite hit the mark when it comes to towing stability or off-road confidence.

35mm Coil Lift – The Most Popular Upgrade

If you’re chasing a noticeable improvement without over-complicating things, a 35mm coil lift is by far the most popular option for Y62 owners.

This setup is ideal if you want your Patrol to:

• Tow more confidently
• Sit level under load
• Feel firmer and more controlled
• Gain extra ground clearance
• Still drive comfortably every day

We offer a range of proven coil lift options including Tough Dog, Samurai, Dobinsons, Old Man Emu and other quality suspension brands. A 35mm lift gives your Patrol a more planted feel while keeping reliability and alignment well within factory tolerances.

Installation Time

• Drive in, drive out
• Usually completed in one day
• In some cases, we may allow up to two days to ensure perfect wheel alignment

This setup is ideal for owners who want their Patrol to “drive like a Warrior” — but with better towing capability and off-road performance.

Two-Inch Suspension Lift (50mm)

For owners wanting more clearance and capability, a two-inch (50mm) lift is the next step up.

We commonly install systems such as Dobinsons and Old Man Emu, matched with the correct components to suit your vehicle’s weight and usage.

A two-inch lift is perfect if you:

• Regularly tow heavier loads
• Travel off-road more often
• Want improved approach and departure angles
• Are building a touring or adventure setup

Important Considerations for Lifts Over 35mm

Once you go beyond a 35mm lift, additional supporting components become essential for reliability and correct geometry.

These include:

• Diff drops – recommended to reduce driveline angles and improve long-term reliability
• Camber correction bushes – required to achieve proper wheel alignment and even tyre wear

Installation Time

• Vehicle required for two full days
• In some cases up to two and a half days to allow for alignment and fine-tuning

Custom & Larger Lift Options

While the 35mm lift remains the most popular option, we also offer custom suspension solutions above two inches.

These setups are tailored to:

• Heavily modified vehicles
• Specific touring or off-road requirements
• Unique towing or load-carrying needs

If you’re considering anything beyond a two-inch lift, we recommend giving us a call so we can discuss your setup and goals in detail.

Which Suspension Setup Is Right for You?

In simple terms:

• Daily driving & light towing → 35mm coil lift
• Regular towing & off-road use → Two-inch lift with supporting components
• Custom builds → Tailored suspension package

Every Nissan Patrol Y62 is used differently — and the best suspension setup is always the one matched to how you actually drive.
