This Tough Dog lift kit suits the Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) and delivers a 2" lift using Australian-valved raised coil springs front and rear, a transmission spacer kit to correct driveline angle, and your choice of shock absorber tune. It's built to improve ground clearance and axle articulation without turning the TJ into a wallowing highway cruiser, and it accepts larger tyres once fitted correctly. Pair it with our shock absorbers range if you want a firmer or softer damping tune than the standard fitment. Dispatched from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our in-house team.

Choosing the right spring rate depends on what you're permanently carrying on the vehicle. A stock TJ with no accessories suits a standard-rate raised spring, while a vehicle fitted with a bullbar, winch, roof rack or rear drawer system needs a firmer rate to sit level and avoid sag over time. Common accessories that affect spring selection include front bullbars and winches, roof-top tents, long-range fuel tanks, and rear-mounted tyre carriers or dual battery trays.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced installer or a workshop familiar with coil-sprung Jeep suspension, given the transmission spacer and driveline alignment work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring caster and toe back within specification at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before final alignment if it wasn't done immediately after install. For TJs running larger tyres or additional lift, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms helps correct pinion angle and axle geometry.
Tough Dog has supplied 4WD suspension to the Australian market for decades, with springs and shocks engineered and valved locally for our roads and conditions. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is used by tradespeople, tourers and weekend off-roaders across the country. You can view the full Toughdog range to compare shock options and spring rates across other platforms.
This kit suits TJ owners wanting more ground clearance and articulation for tracks and trails without sacrificing on-road comfort during the week. It's a solid fit for weekend tourers running a bullbar and basic camping gear, and for daily drivers wanting a more aggressive stance. If you're carrying heavier constant loads such as a caravan or camper trailer hitch weight, also look at airbag suspension to manage rear sag.
This Tough Dog lift kit is in stock in Australia and ready for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment before you order. Browse our full lift kit range or use our parts finder to check every suspension component listed for the Jeep Wrangler.

Yes, this Tough Dog lift kit is built specifically for the Jeep Wrangler TJ produced from 1997 to 2006, covering Sport, Sahara and Rubicon variants. It suits both the 4.0L I6 and 2.5L I4 petrol models. If you're unsure about your exact build, our team can confirm fitment before you order using your VIN or compliance plate details.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear using Tough Dog's raised coil springs. The lift is achieved through spring design rather than spacers, which keeps the factory geometry closer to standard. A transmission spacer kit is included to correct driveline angle at the new ride height.
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.
The kit includes front and rear raised coil springs, front and rear shock absorbers in your choice of Foam Cell or Nitro Gas, and a transmission spacer kit. Mounting hardware and fitment instructions are also included. Upper and lower control arms are sold separately if you need them.
This kit is primarily designed for lift, clearance and articulation rather than heavy constant load carrying. If you're regularly towing or carrying a hitch weight, ask our team about a firmer rear spring rate or consider adding airbag suspension to manage sag under load.
At a 2" lift, many TJ owners run without upper control arm upgrades, but correcting pinion angle and caster is easier with adjustable arms once the vehicle sits at height. We recommend checking driveline angles after fitment and speaking with our team about control arm options if you notice vibration or excessive camber change.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the vehicle changes caster and toe, and factory settings won't be correct at the new ride height. We recommend an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km break-in period.
Tough Dog offers standard and heavier-rate raised coil springs for the TJ depending on your accessory load. If you're running a bullbar, winch or roof-top tent, a firmer rate keeps the vehicle sitting level. Talk to our team about your accessory list before ordering so we can match the right spring rate.
A 2" lift typically allows for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over the factory-fitted size, though actual clearance depends on wheel offset, width and any trimming of guards. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before purchase to avoid rubbing issues.
This kit is covered by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty on springs and shock absorbers against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms are honoured through 4WD Suspension in Australia, and our team can assist with any warranty claims or fitment questions.
Yes, this kit is designed to balance off-road capability with everyday drivability. The raised coil springs and shock tune are valved for Australian road conditions, so the TJ remains comfortable and predictable as a daily driver while offering more clearance for weekend trips.
