Choose your spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional cargo. A Y62 fitted with a steel bullbar, winch and second battery will sit lower at the front than a stock vehicle, so a higher-rated front spring keeps ride height correct. Common accessories that shift spring selection include bullbars, winches, long-range fuel tanks, dual battery trays, roof racks, drawer systems and rear-mounted spare wheel carriers.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with strut compressor tools, given the Y62's independent front strut design. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period before final alignment for the springs and bushes to settle. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at 2" of lift.
Tough Dog has engineered and valved 4WD suspension in Australia for local conditions, from outback corrugations to daily commuting. Every kit comes with a manufacturer warranty and is backed by our in-house fitment support team who work with the Y62 platform regularly. Browse the full Toughdog range to compare shock and spring options across other Tough Dog kits.
This kit suits Patrol Y62 owners who tow a van or trailer, run a canopy and tools for work, or head bush for extended touring trips. If you carry a constant heavy load such as a slide-on camper or caravan, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear load support beyond the spring rate alone.

Yes, this Tough Dog kit is built specifically for the Nissan Patrol Y62 from 2012 onwards, fitted with the VK56VD 5.6L V8 petrol engine. It is matched to the Y62's independent front strut layout and coil-sprung rear end, so it is not a generic universal kit. If you're unsure of your build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear using raised coil springs matched to Tough Dog struts and shocks. The lift is achieved through spring height and strut length, not spacers. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and spring rate selected.
The kit includes 2 x nitro gas front struts, 2 x foam cell rear shock absorbers, 2 x raised front coil springs and 2 x raised rear coil springs, all rated for a 2" lift. Mounting hardware, bushes and spring isolators are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required.
Yes, the raised coil springs are available in constant load ratings up to 300kg to support tow ball weight and rear-end sag when towing a van or trailer. The foam cell rear shocks help control body movement under load. Choose the spring rate that matches your actual constant accessory and towing weight for best results.
At a 2" lift, most Y62 owners will benefit from upgraded control arms to correct front suspension geometry and CV joint angles. Factory control arms can work at this height but may show increased wear over time on corrugated roads. Our control arm range is designed to complement this lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber and toe angles, so alignment brings the vehicle back within factory tolerance. We recommend a 500km bed-in period before the final alignment check.
Yes, the raised coil springs in this kit are available in multiple constant load ratings up to 300kg. Selection should be based on the constant weight of accessories fitted, such as a bullbar, winch, long-range tank or drawer system, not occasional cargo. Our team can help match the right rating to your vehicle's setup.
A 2" lift on the Y62 typically creates clearance for a modest increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel combination with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full lock or compression.
This kit is covered by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty, which applies to the struts, shocks and springs supplied. Warranty terms are handled through 4WD Suspension Australia, and our team can talk you through the specific conditions before purchase.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain a comfortable on-road ride while adding load capacity and clearance for off-road use. The foam cell and nitro gas damping is tuned to balance daily commuting comfort with towing and touring performance, not just off-road stiffness.
