Choose your rear spring rate based on the constant weight you carry — a bullbar and winch alone suit standard rate, while a fitted canopy, dual battery tray, water tanks or a regularly towed van point toward medium or heavy rated rear springs. Front spring rate should account for a bullbar, winch and driving lights. If you're unsure of your accessory load, our team can help you match the right spring rate before you order.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with a hoist and spring compressors. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bearing-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before final alignment if you didn't align immediately after fitment. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct CV joint angles and restore full suspension travel at 2" of lift.
Tough Dog has engineered and tested 4WD suspension in Australia for Australian conditions, from corrugated outback tracks to daily commuting. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is trusted by tourers, tradespeople and caravan owners running the Prado 120 Grande.

This kit suits Prado 120 Grande owners fitting a bullbar, winch, canopy or roof-top tent who need the ride height and load capacity to match. It's also a solid choice for regular caravan or trailer towing where rear sag needs correcting. If your accessory load varies trip to trip, our airbag suspension options can complement this kit for adjustable load support.

Yes, this Tough Dog kit is built specifically for the Toyota Prado 120 Series Grande sold in Australia from 2003 to 2009, covering both the 1KD-FTV 3.0L turbo diesel and 1GR-FE 4.0L V6 petrol variants. It uses the factory coil spring and shock mounting points, so no cutting or drilling is required. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, our fitment team can confirm compatibility before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear over standard ride height. That's enough to restore height lost to a bullbar, winch or canopy and to gain clearance for larger tyres, without pushing the vehicle outside a safe alignment range. Front and rear lift is matched in this kit, though Tough Dog does offer different spring rate combinations within that 2" height.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Tough Dog shock absorbers in your choice of Foam Cell, Foam Cell Pro or Nitro Gas, plus 2 front and 2 rear raised coil springs rated to your selected load. Mounting bushes and a fitment instruction sheet are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately as an optional upgrade for correct geometry at ride height.
Yes, selecting a medium or heavy rated rear coil spring in this kit is designed for vehicles that tow regularly or carry a heavier constant accessory load. The correct spring rate stops the rear from sagging under tow ball weight and keeps the vehicle sitting level. Tell our team your typical towing setup and we'll help you pick the right rear spring rate.
At 2" of lift, upper control arm upgrades are recommended though not always mandatory, as they correct CV joint and camber angles that shift once the suspension is raised. Without them, some Prado 120 owners notice increased CV wear over time at this lift height. We stock control arms designed to pair with this exact kit — ask our team if your accessory load or driving style warrants the upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising ride height by 2" changes camber and toe settings, and skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and inconsistent steering feel. We recommend aligning the vehicle immediately after fitment, or after a 500km settling period if the installer prefers to let the springs bed in first.
Yes, Tough Dog offers this kit with standard, medium and heavy rated rear coil springs, and standard or heavy rated front springs, so you can match the kit to your bullbar, winch, canopy or towing load. Front spring rate is generally driven by bullbar and winch weight, while rear rate depends on canopy, dual battery, water tank or tow ball weight. Our team can recommend a rating based on your specific accessory list.
The 2" lift from this kit typically provides enough additional clearance to run a moderately larger tyre than factory on the Prado 120 Grande, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering, particularly if you're also running wider rims or a bullbar. Fender trimming may still be needed for larger tyre and wheel combinations.
This kit is covered by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects in the springs and shock absorbers. Warranty terms are honoured through our Australian-based team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue arises. Keep your proof of purchase and installation date on file for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed to hold a comfortable on-road ride at unladen weight while still supporting accessory loads when fitted, making it suitable for a Prado 120 Grande used for daily driving as well as touring or towing. Choosing the correct spring rate for your typical load — rather than always fitting the heaviest option — keeps the ride from feeling too firm when unladen. Our team can help you balance daily comfort against your touring or towing needs when selecting spring rate and shock type.
