The Bilstein Tough Dog 2" Lift Kit for the Suzuki Jimny GJ (2018-on) pairs German-engineered Bilstein shock absorbers with Tough Dog coil springs to deliver 2" of lift front and rear while keeping the short-wheelbase Jimny's factory agility. The kit adds a crossmember drop bracket, ABS sensor relocation hardware and extended brake hoses, so ABS geometry and brake line length stay correct at the new ride height. Fitted correctly it clears larger tyres and underbody protection without a body lift. In stock in Australia now with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Tough Dog offers standard and constant-load coil options to match accessory weight — the right choice depends on what's permanently fitted to your Jimny. Common accessories that add constant load include a steel bull bar, winch, snorkel, roof rack with recovery gear, or rear drawers and long-range fuel. If you're running any of these, tell our team your accessory list before ordering so the front and rear spring rate is matched correctly rather than left to sag under load.
This kit involves crossmember modification and ABS sensor relocation, so we recommend a suspension-experienced workshop rather than a first-time DIY install. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the coil springs to settle to their final rate before fine-tuning alignment. If you're fitting larger tyres, pair this kit with
Bilstein has built monotube gas shocks since 1954 and its GJ-specific valving is matched here to Tough Dog's Australian-wound coil springs for local conditions. Every kit is backed by manufacturer warranty and is used by both weekend tourers and trade operators who need consistent damping over corrugations. You can view the full Bilstein range we stock for other 4WD platforms.
This kit suits Jimny owners fitting a bull bar and winch for touring, weekend off-roaders wanting clearance for rutted tracks, and tradies who carry tools and recovery gear daily. If you're carrying a genuinely heavy, variable load rather than a fixed accessory weight, ask our team about airbag suspension as a load-levelling add-on instead of a heavier spring rate.

This kit is designed specifically for the Suzuki Jimny GJ built from 2018 onward. It is not a match for the earlier JB-series Jimny or the four-door Jimny 5 door, which use different mounting points. If you're unsure which generation you own, check your compliance plate year or use our Jimny parts finder before ordering.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear using Tough Dog raised coil springs matched to Bilstein shocks. The crossmember drop bracket included in the kit corrects driveline angle at this ride height, and ABS relocation hardware keeps sensor wiring geometry correct. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on the Jimny's factory-fitted accessories and load.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
The Jimny GJ has a modest tow rating compared to larger 4WDs, so this kit is built around ride height and off-road clearance rather than towing-specific spring rates. If you're towing a small trailer regularly, tell our team so we can confirm whether the standard spring rate suits your combined load. For heavier or variable loads, ask about pairing this kit with airbag suspension.

Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber, caster and toe settings, and correct alignment prevents uneven tyre wear and maintains steering feel. We recommend aligning the vehicle after the 500km coil spring bedding-in period for the most accurate setting.
Tough Dog produces standard and constant-load coil options for the Jimny GJ to suit different accessory weights. If you're running a bull bar, winch, snorkel or rear drawers, let our team know before ordering so we can confirm the correct spring rate for your setup. Matching spring rate to actual accessory load keeps the Jimny sitting level front to rear.

This kit is covered by full manufacturer warranty through Bilstein and Tough Dog, covering manufacturing defects in the shocks and coil springs. Warranty terms are handled directly through our Australian-based team, so you're not dealing with an overseas distributor. Keep your purchase invoice as proof of the fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is built to keep the Jimny GJ comfortable and predictable on sealed roads, not just off-road. Bilstein's nitrogen gas shocks are valved to control body movement at highway speed as well as on corrugations, and the standard-load coil springs maintain a compliant unladen ride. Most owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both commuting and weekend touring.
