Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride height, handling, and longevity from your suspension system. When choosing your spring rates, calculate only your constant accessory load — weight that is permanently fitted to your vehicle at all times. This includes bull bars, winches, roof racks, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long range fuel tanks, and rear spare tire carriers with accessories. Do not include occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear, water, or loads carried only during specific trips. Overestimating your load requirement and selecting springs that are too heavy will result in a harsh ride, reduced suspension travel, and potential damage to other components. Most lightly modified Jimnys with basic accessories like a bull bar and roof rack will perform best with the medium load option, while heavily equipped expedition builds with full protection, dual batteries, and permanent drawer systems may require heavy-duty springs.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit to ensure correct fitment, safety, and optimal performance. The installation involves removing factory suspension components, fitting new springs and shocks, installing extended brake hoses and panhard rods, relocating ABS sensors, and adjusting headlight aim. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct camber, caster, and toe settings altered by the lift — failure to perform alignment will result in premature tire wear and poor handling. All vehicles require a 500km break-in period where springs will settle to their final ride height, after which a second height check and alignment verification is recommended. For lifts exceeding 50mm, pairing this kit with upgraded suspension components such as adjustable panhard rods or correction bushings may be beneficial depending on your intended use.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence, real-world testing in the harshest outback conditions, and unwavering commitment to quality.

Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of specialist fitment centers, Toughdog suspension is the choice of serious tourers, remote area travelers, and tradespeople who demand reliability when it matters most. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range to build your ultimate 4WD setup.
This lift kit is ideal for Suzuki Jimny owners who want to maximize their vehicle's off-road capability for weekend trail adventures, beach driving, touring, and remote area exploration. Adventure tourers carrying camping equipment, recovery gear, and supplies will appreciate the improved load capacity and ground clearance for accessing remote campsites. Weekend warriors tackling 4WD parks and challenging tracks benefit from enhanced articulation and wheel travel. Those planning to tow small camper trailers or add roof-top tents should consider pairing this suspension upgrade with airbag suspension systems for additional rear load support and on-the-fly adjustability.

Yes, this Tough Dog lift kit is specifically engineered for the current generation Suzuki Jimny JB74 (2019-onwards) with the 1.5L K15B petrol engine. The kit includes all necessary components and hardware designed for this exact platform, including model-specific panhard rods, brake hose extensions, and ABS sensor relocation brackets. The engineering ensures proper geometry correction and maintains safe handling characteristics. If you have an earlier generation Jimny (pre-2019 JB43 or JB23 models), this kit will not fit and you'll need a different suspension package designed for those platforms.
This Tough Dog kit provides 60-80mm (approximately 2.4-3.1 inches) of lift height over factory suspension, measured at the chassis/body. The actual lift achieved depends on your vehicle's constant accessory load and the spring rate you select during ordering. Lightly loaded vehicles with minimal accessories will sit toward the higher end of the range, while heavily equipped builds with bull bars, winches, and drawer systems will settle toward the 60mm mark. After the initial 500km break-in period, springs typically settle 5-10mm as they bed in, which is normal and accounted for in the engineering.
This is a comprehensive lift kit including 2 x Foam Cell front shock absorbers, 2 x Foam Cell rear shock absorbers, 2 x front coil springs, 2 x rear coil springs, 2 x heavy-duty panhard rods, headlight adjustment module kit, extended brake hose kit, ABS sensor relocation kit, and all necessary mounting hardware. The kit provides everything required to lift your Jimny safely and maintain proper geometry and brake function. Additional components like extended diff breathers, longer wheel studs for larger tyres, or upper control arms are not included but may be beneficial depending on your build specifications and intended use.
Yes, this lift kit significantly improves your Jimny's towing capability when paired with correctly selected spring rates. The upgraded Foam Cell shock absorbers provide superior damping control under load, while the heavy-duty coil springs are available in multiple load ratings to handle the additional tongue weight and rear-end squat associated with towing. When ordering, ensure you account for the constant tongue weight (typically 75-100kg for lightweight camper trailers) when selecting your rear spring rate. For frequent towing or heavier trailers, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for additional rear support and the ability to adjust ride height and stiffness based on load conditions.
Upgraded control arms are not strictly required for this 60-80mm lift kit as it falls within acceptable geometry ranges for the Jimny platform with the included panhard rod correction. However, aftermarket control arms with adjustable geometry or additional caster correction can provide benefits for vehicles used in extreme off-road conditions or those fitted with larger tyres. The factory control arms will function adequately for most touring and recreational 4WD use when combined with proper wheel alignment post-installation. If you're planning to run 30-inch or larger tyres, frequently tackle severe terrain, or want maximum steering precision, upgraded control arms are worth considering as a future enhancement to complement your lift kit.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit and is critical for safety, handling, and tire longevity. Raising your Jimny's suspension alters critical geometry angles including camber, caster, and toe settings beyond factory specifications. Without proper alignment, you'll experience uneven and accelerated tire wear, poor handling characteristics, reduced steering precision, and potential safety issues. The alignment should be performed after installation and then rechecked after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled to their final height. Choose a suspension specialist or 4WD alignment shop familiar with lifted vehicles for best results.
Yes, you must select appropriate spring rates for both front and rear based on your specific constant accessory load during the ordering process. Front spring selection should account for accessories like bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, driving lights, and any permanent weight additions to the front of the vehicle. Rear spring selection should consider drawer systems, dual battery setups, rear tire carriers, awnings, roof-top tents (weight transfers to rear), and long-range fuel tanks. It's critical to calculate only permanent, constant loads — do not include passengers, camping gear, water, or occasional cargo as these variable loads will result in selecting springs that are too stiff, causing harsh ride quality and potential component damage.
With this 60-80mm lift kit installed, most Suzuki Jimny owners can comfortably fit tyres up to 29-30 inches in diameter (approximately 235/75R15 or 215/75R15) without rubbing during normal driving and moderate off-road articulation. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required depending on your wheel offset and specific tyre choice. For 31-inch tyres, additional modifications including body lift, guard trimming, and potentially aftermarket control arms for increased clearance are typically necessary. Remember that larger, heavier tyres affect gearing, fuel economy, and braking performance on the Jimny's small engine and braking system, so balance your tyre choice with realistic performance expectations and consider re-gearing if running significantly larger rubber.
This Tough Dog lift kit is backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for your investment. Tough Dog's warranty terms typically cover shock absorbers and springs against manufacturing defects when installed correctly and used under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician, proof of purchase, and adherence to recommended service intervals including proper break-in procedures. Specific warranty duration and terms are provided with your kit documentation. For detailed warranty information or to make a claim, contact our team or refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit.
Absolutely — this Tough Dog lift kit is engineered to deliver excellent on-road manners for daily driving, commuting, and highway touring while providing enhanced off-road capability when needed. The Foam Cell shock absorbers are valved specifically for the Jimny's lightweight chassis to provide controlled damping without harshness, maintaining comfortable ride quality on sealed roads. When paired with correctly selected spring rates for your actual load, the kit preserves the Jimny's nimble handling characteristics and steering precision. Thousands of Australian Jimny owners run Tough Dog suspension as their daily driver setup, enjoying improved ground clearance for speed bumps and driveways, better visibility, and the confidence to tackle weekend adventures without compromising weekday practicality.
