Reviewed by Andrew, 4WD Suspension fitment team
This complete Tough Dog suspension kit for the Nissan Pathfinder R50 (1995 - 2005) lifts the vehicle approximately 30mm front and rear. Front struts with raised coils and a matched rear coil and shock package lift the wagon evenly and keep it settled with a full load of people and touring gear. Every part in the kit is a Tough Dog component selected for this vehicle, and the dropdowns let you set the shock type and spring rates to suit how the vehicle is used.

Shocks are Tough Dog Nitro Gas front struts and rear shocks, matched to the springs in the kit. Choose front springs in Comfort/Medium Load / Constant Load and rear springs in 0-300kg Load / Constant 300kg Load to match the gear your vehicle carries permanently.
| Option | Choices |
|---|---|
| Year Model | 1995 - 1999 / 1999 - 2005 |
| Front Spring Rate | Comfort/Medium Load / Constant Load (+ $10.00) |
| Rear Spring Rate | 0-300kg Load / Constant 300kg Load (+ $10.00) |
Rate the springs to the weight the vehicle carries all the time: a steel bull bar, winch, canopy, drawers, long-range tank or service body. Camping gear, a trailer or an occasional load do not count. Going too heavy on the springs gives a harsh unladen ride and less wheel travel, so if the vehicle is between ratings, pick the lighter one and talk to us if you are unsure.
Bolt-in fitment with no cutting or welding. A wheel alignment is required after fitting. A lift of this size is within the limits most states allow without engineering, but check your local rules.

The kit for the Nissan Pathfinder R50 (1995 - 2005) contains 2 x Front struts, 2 x Front coil springs, 2 x Rear coil springs, 2 x Rear shock absorbers. Everything is a Tough Dog part selected for this vehicle, so there is nothing else to buy for a standard 30mm lift. Optional upgrades (shock type, spring rates) are chosen from the dropdowns above.
Approximately 30mm front and rear on the Nissan Pathfinder R50 with the standard spring rates. Heavier spring rates sit a little higher unladen and settle under a bull bar, canopy or constant load; the final height also varies with tyre size and the condition of the vehicle, and settles after the first few hundred kilometres.
The complete 30mm kit for the Nissan Pathfinder R50 is $1,632 with the standard options; heavier spring rates add the amounts shown in the dropdowns. That price covers every part listed above, so there is nothing else to buy for a standard lift, and we ship Australia-wide.
A 30mm suspension lift is within the limit most Australian states allow on a Nissan Pathfinder R50 without engineering approval. Some states count a tyre size increase toward the total lift, so if you are also going up a tyre size check your state's light vehicle modification rules. Keep the lift to this kit's rating and have the wheel alignment done and it stays a road-legal, insurable modification.
Choose front springs in Comfort/Medium Load / Constant Load and rear springs in 0-300kg Load / Constant 300kg Load to match what the Pathfinder carries permanently: a steel bull bar and winch on the front, a canopy, drawers, tray or long-range tank on the rear. Only count gear that stays on the vehicle; camping loads and a trailer do not. Towing a caravan or heavy trailer regularly justifies the next rear rate up. If you are between ratings, take the lighter one for a better unladen ride, or call us with your setup.
The kit comes with Tough Dog Nitro Gas front struts and rear shocks, valved for the raised springs.
A workshop takes around 4 to 5 hours to fit this kit to a Nissan Pathfinder R50, plus the wheel alignment. It is a bolt-in job with no cutting or welding, so a competent home mechanic with a hoist or solid stands, a torque wrench and basic hand tools, plus a spring compressor can do it. Follow the torque settings in the Tough Dog fitting instructions and book the alignment straight after, or have your local 4WD suspension workshop fit it.
Fitting aftermarket suspension does not void a new-vehicle warranty on its own: under Australian Consumer Law the manufacturer must show that the part caused a specific fault before refusing a claim on that item, and the rest of the warranty is unaffected. Keep the lift within the legal limit for your state, have it fitted and aligned properly, and tell your insurer about the modification so the kit is covered. Tough Dog components are backed by the manufacturer's Australian warranty; ask us for the current terms.
. The springs settle to their final height over the first few hundred kilometres.
