Selecting the correct spring rate is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your Tough Dog lift kit. Calculate your constant accessory weight by adding the combined weight of all permanently fitted equipment including bull bars, winches, steel rear bars, dual battery systems, roof racks, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, drawer systems, and any other fixed modifications. Front accessories typically include bull bars (40-80kg), winches (30-50kg), and upgraded bumpers, while rear constant loads include rear bars (30-60kg), dual spare wheel carriers (40-70kg), drawer systems (60-100kg), and water tanks when full (100-200kg). Tough Dog offers multiple spring rate options to precisely match your vehicle's setup, ensuring proper ride height, handling characteristics, and component longevity.
This Tough Dog lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate workshop facilities, spring compressors, and torque tools. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct castor, camber, and toe settings are achieved for safe handling and even tyre wear. All suspension components require a 500-kilometre bedding-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will reach optimal performance — ride height should be checked after this break-in period and spring seat adjustments made if necessary. For vehicles with significant front-end weight from bull bars and winches, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore castor angles and maintain factory steering geometry.

This lift kit is engineered for LandCruiser 76 Series owners who use their vehicle as it was intended — for remote touring, commercial work, trade applications, and serious off-road adventuring. Whether you're a mining contractor carrying heavy equipment, a pastoral worker covering vast station distances, or a grey nomad towing a full-size caravan around Australia, this kit delivers the load capacity and durability your application demands. For those who regularly tow heavy trailers or carry significant rear loads, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load support and level adjustment capability.

This Tough Dog lift kit is specifically engineered for Toyota LandCruiser 76 Series Wagon and Troop Carrier models from 2007 to current, fitting both the 4.5L V8 turbo diesel engine variants. The kit is designed for the live axle front and rear configuration that defines the 70 Series platform. If you've made modifications to your vehicle such as aftermarket diff housings, portal axles, or custom suspension mounts, please contact our team to confirm compatibility. We can also advise on any additional components required for vehicles with heavy accessory loads or specialized builds.
This complete Tough Dog kit delivers approximately 40-50mm of lift at both the front and rear of your LandCruiser 76 Series, depending on your vehicle's constant accessory load and the spring rate selected. Final ride height will vary based on the weight of bull bars, winches, roof racks, drawer systems, and other permanently fitted equipment. The lift height is engineered to maximize ground clearance and off-road capability while maintaining safe steering geometry and drivetrain angles. After the initial 500km break-in period, springs will settle slightly, and final height should be measured and adjustments made if required.
This complete kit includes front raised coil springs, rear heavy-duty leaf springs, four shock absorbers (choice of Foam Cell or Nitro Gas), rear U-bolts, spring bushes, shackles, and all necessary mounting hardware. You can select your preferred shock absorber type and spring rates based on your vehicle's constant load requirements during the ordering process. The kit does not include extended brake lines, extended diff breathers, or upper control arms, which may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and lift requirements. All components are precision-matched to work together for optimal performance and longevity.
Absolutely — this Tough Dog lift kit is specifically engineered to handle the increased demands of towing caravans, camper trailers, and heavy equipment trailers that LandCruiser 76 Series owners regularly use. The heavy-duty leaf springs feature progressive spring rates that provide excellent load support while maintaining ride comfort when unladen, and the upgraded shock absorbers are valved to control the additional weight and maintain stability under towing conditions. For maximum towing performance and the ability to level your vehicle under varying loads, many customers pair this lift kit with airbag suspension in the rear, which provides on-demand load support and height adjustment. The kit maintains your vehicle's towing capacity while improving ground clearance and control.
While this 40-50mm lift kit can be installed with factory control arms, upgrading to adjustable aftermarket control arms is highly recommended, especially if you're running significant front-end weight from bull bars and winches. The modest lift height of this kit typically keeps castor and camber angles within acceptable ranges, but adjustable control arms allow your installer to fine-tune steering geometry for optimal handling, on-center feel, and tyre wear. Vehicles with heavy front accessories or those used for serious off-road touring will benefit most from control arm upgrades. Our team can advise on whether your specific vehicle configuration would benefit from this additional upgrade based on your accessory load and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your LandCruiser 76 Series. Changing suspension components alters your vehicle's camber, castor, and toe settings, which directly affect handling, steering feel, and tyre wear patterns. A professional alignment performed by a workshop familiar with lifted 4WDs will ensure all angles are set within manufacturer specifications (or optimized for your specific build if running adjustable components). Failure to perform proper alignment after installation can result in premature tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potentially unsafe steering behavior. Budget for this essential service as part of your installation costs.
Yes, Tough Dog offers multiple spring rate options for both front and rear to suit your LandCruiser 76 Series constant accessory load. When ordering, you'll need to calculate the combined weight of all permanently fitted equipment including bull bars, winches, rear bars, roof racks, drawer systems, water tanks, and long-range fuel tanks. Our product configurator guides you through spring rate selection, or our technical team can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific build. Selecting the correct spring rate is crucial for achieving proper ride height, maintaining ride quality, and ensuring component longevity. Getting spring rates right the first time avoids the expense and inconvenience of changing springs later due to sagging or overly-stiff ride.
This 40-50mm lift provides additional clearance that typically allows fitment of tyres up to 33 inches in diameter on your LandCruiser 76 Series, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and whether you've fitted wider track flares or aftermarket guards. Some minor trimming of plastic liner material may be required for full articulation with larger tyres, and you should test full lock-to-lock steering at full compression before heading off-road. Keep in mind that fitting significantly larger tyres may require recalibration of your speedometer and can affect gearing, fuel economy, and braking performance. Always ensure any tyre upgrade maintains adequate clearance to suspension components, brake lines, and body panels throughout the full range of suspension travel and steering movement.
All Tough Dog suspension components in this kit are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by component type — shock absorbers typically carry different coverage than springs and hardware — and full warranty documentation is included with your kit. To maintain warranty coverage, the kit must be installed by a qualified technician following Tough Dog's installation guidelines, and you should retain all proof of purchase and installation records. Warranty does not cover damage from accidents, incorrect installation, modifications to components, or use beyond the product's rated capacity. Contact us for specific warranty duration details and terms for your peace of mind.
Yes, Tough Dog engineers their suspension systems to deliver excellent daily driving characteristics while providing the durability and capability required for touring and off-road work. The progressive spring rates maintain comfortable ride quality on sealed roads and during highway driving, while the shock absorber valving is tuned to control body movement without creating a harsh or jarring ride. Many LandCruiser 76 Series owners use their vehicles as daily drivers for commuting and family transport in addition to touring and work applications, and this kit is specifically designed to serve both purposes. You'll notice improved handling and reduced body roll compared to worn factory suspension, along with the confidence that comes from knowing your suspension can handle whatever demands you place on it.
Perfect for the daily grind and weekends
Been running this Tough Dog lift kit on my 76 for six months now, carting tools and materials to sites every day plus the odd weekend trip out bush. The ride quality is heaps better than the old setup, even when loaded up with a tonne of gear in the tray. Fitment was spot on and haven't had a single issue since install.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Work
Been running this Tough Dog lift kit on my 76 for six months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's roughest sections. The ride quality is genuinely impressive – fully loaded with recovery gear and fuel, it handles corrugations far better than my previous suspension setup. Ground clearance increase has been spot-on for creek crossings and rocky terrain without any of the harshness you'd expect from a budget kit.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Finally got this Tough Dog lift kit fitted to our 76 Series and the difference is night and day. We've taken it through the High Country twice now with the camper trailer loaded up, and the ride quality is so much better than the old sagging suspension – the kids even commented on how much smoother it feels. Ground clearance has improved heaps which gives me more confidence on the rougher tracks, and the whole setup feels really solid under load.(5)
