Toughdog Front 2" Coil Springs are engineered specifically for the Nissan GU Patrol Ute running the factory leaf rear setup — not a generic GU wagon spring. This front-only kit lifts the nose 2" to counter the weight of a bullbar, winch or driving lights, while a constant load rate keeps the front end settled under normal touring use. It's a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory front coil, matched by Toughdog to suit GU Ute geometry, and pairs well with our Toughdog shock absorbers for a balanced ride. Dispatched from Australian stock with full manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choose your front spring rate based on what's permanently fitted to the nose of your GU Ute. A steel bullbar, winch, dual battery tray or driving light bar all add sustained weight that a standard-rate spring will sag under over time.
Common front-end accessories affecting spring rate selection include steel bullbars, electric winches, secondary batteries, UHF and light bar brackets, and bash plates. If you're running several of these together, talk to our team before ordering so the constant load rate matches your actual accessory weight.
Fitting front coil springs on a GU Patrol Ute is a job for an experienced DIY mechanic with a spring compressor or a qualified suspension workshop — factory spring tension needs to be released safely. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation since ride height and castor angle change with new springs. Allow a 500km settling period before final alignment for the springs to seat fully. If you're lifting the front, it's worth checking your control arm geometry at the same time, particularly on higher-lift setups.
Toughdog has supplied 4WD suspension componentry to the Australian market for decades, with spring rates developed around local vehicle use — not just adapted from overseas specs.

Tradespeople and tourers running the GU Patrol Ute choose Toughdog for a straightforward, no-fuss front-end upgrade — view the full Toughdog range for matching shocks and rear leaf options.
This spring suits GU Patrol Ute owners who've added a bullbar, winch or touring gear up front and need the ride height and support to match. It's a practical option for tradies carrying tray-mounted gear and tourers preparing for remote travel. If you're also carrying a heavy tray load or towing regularly, look at airbag suspension to manage rear sag alongside this front upgrade.

Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are specifically designed for the Nissan GU Patrol Ute fitted with the factory leaf rear suspension — not the GU wagon. If your GU Ute has a factory leaf-sprung rear end, this spring is a direct bolt-in replacement for the front coil. If you're unsure which rear suspension your Patrol Ute has, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This spring delivers a 2" front lift over standard ride height. It's a front-only product, so rear ride height on your leaf-sprung GU Ute is unaffected unless you also upgrade the rear leaf springs separately.
You receive 2 x Toughdog front coil springs matched to a constant load rate for the GU Patrol Ute. Shock absorbers, control arms and rear leaf springs are not included and are sold separately. This keeps the kit affordable if you only need front spring replacement.
This front spring is built to support front-end accessory weight like bullbars and winches rather than towball load, which is carried mostly through the rear leaf pack. If you tow regularly, we recommend reviewing your rear leaf spring rating alongside this front upgrade to keep the vehicle level.
A 2" front lift on a GU Patrol Ute generally works within factory control arm geometry, but checking castor angle at alignment is still worthwhile. If your alignment technician flags excessive castor change, upgraded control arms can correct it. We can advise based on your specific accessory load and lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting new front coil springs, as ride height and castor angle both change. We recommend a 500km settling period before final alignment so the springs seat properly. Skipping alignment will lead to uneven tyre wear.
Toughdog offers this spring at a constant load rate suited to typical GU Ute front accessory weight like a bullbar and winch. If you're carrying heavier front-end gear, speak with our team about matching a rate to your actual accessory load before ordering.
A 2" front lift on the GU Patrol Ute typically creates clearance for a modest tyre size increase, but actual clearance depends on your wheel offset and rear tyre setup too. We suggest confirming your intended tyre size with our team, particularly since this kit only lifts the front.
This Toughdog front coil spring is covered by full manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty documentation is provided with your order, and our team can assist with any warranty claims. Contact us directly if you have questions on warranty terms for your specific application.
Yes, this spring is designed to maintain comfortable on-road handling at the constant load rate while adding front-end support for accessories. GU Patrol Ute owners use it for daily driving, work duties and touring without a harsh ride change. Pairing it with matched shock absorbers helps keep damping balanced at the new ride height.
