Choose your front spring rate based on permanent front-end accessories such as a steel bullbar, winch and driving lights, and your rear rate based on constant rear load such as a drawer system, fridge, long-range fuel tank or roof-top tent. Running a rate too soft for your accessory load leads to sagging ride height and reduced clearance, while too firm a rate on a lightly-loaded vehicle gives a harsh ride. Talk to our team before ordering if you are running a heavy dual battery setup, rear bar or camper trailer so we can match the coil rate to your build.
Fitment suits an experienced DIY installer with standard hand tools or a workshop with a hoist, and typically takes half a day per axle. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to reset castor and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before making a final alignment check. For correct driveshaft and control arm geometry at 2" of lift, consider pairing this kit with control arm upgrades.

This Tough Dog kit is designed for the Jeep Wrangler JK built between 2007 and 2018, covering both the 2-door and 4-door Unlimited body styles. It suits the 3.8L V6, 3.6L Pentastar V6 and 2.8L CRD diesel variants sold in Australia. If you are unsure of your exact model or engine, check the compatibility table above or contact our team before ordering.
The kit provides a 2" lift at the front and rear using progressive-rate coil springs, paired with 40mm bore shocks valved to suit that ride height. This lift is enough to clear 33-inch tyres on a JK without cutting guards or trimming plastics. Final ride height will vary slightly depending on your vehicle's accessory load.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
You get 2 front and 2 rear Tough Dog 40mm bore adjustable shock absorbers, 2 front and 2 rear progressive-rate coil springs, front and rear bump stop extensions, and mounting hardware. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately. Full fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
Yes, the progressive-rate rear coil springs are designed to firm up under constant load such as a tow ball weight, drawer system or long-range fuel. For heavier towing setups we recommend discussing your accessory load with our team so we can confirm the rear spring rate suits your combination. Adding airbag suspension is an option if you need extra load-levelling support.
At 2" of lift the standard JK control arm geometry is workable, but many owners fit adjustable control arms to correct caster angle and driveshaft angles more precisely. This is a recommendation rather than a requirement for this kit. See our control arm range if you want to fine-tune alignment at the new ride height.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit to reset castor and toe at the new ride height. Skipping alignment will cause uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after a 500km break-in period once the springs have settled.
Tough Dog offers different coil spring options for the JK depending on your front and rear accessory load. If you're running a heavy bullbar, winch, drawer system or camper setup, contact our team before ordering so we can recommend a rate matched to your build. Running the wrong rate can cause sagging or a harsh ride.
Yes, this kit is designed to clear 33-inch tyres on a Wrangler JK without body modification. Tyre and wheel combinations wider than standard may still need to be checked against your specific rim offset. Talk to our team if you're planning a wheel and tyre package alongside this lift kit.
This kit is backed by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty covering the shocks and springs against manufacturing defects. It is dispatched from our Australian warehouse, so warranty support and fitment advice are handled locally through our team. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the progressive-rate coil springs are tuned to give a soft, comfortable response unladen for daily driving, while firming up when accessories or cargo are loaded. Owners running this kit for daily commuting alongside occasional touring report normal on-road handling once alignment is set. It is not a race or track-only setup — it is built for regular Australian road and touring use.
