The Tough Dog Lift Kit (SKU TDTL76N) suits the Toyota LandCruiser 76 Series wagon (1999-ON), covering both the 1HZ diesel and 1VD-FTV V8 turbo-diesel, and delivers a 2" lift front and rear using vehicle-specific raised coil springs and heavy-duty leaf springs. Choose Standard, Medium (0-300kg), Heavy (300-600kg) or Extra Heavy (600kg+) spring rates so your coil springs and leaf packs match your bull bar, winch, drawers and touring load. Foam Cell, Foam Cell Pro or Nitro Gas shock options are selectable to suit comfort or load-carrying priorities. Held in Australian stock, backed by Tough Dog's manufacturer warranty and fitment guidance from our suspension team.

Choose your spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not your occasional peak load. Front-end accessories such as bull bars, winches and driving light bars push you toward a Medium or Heavy front rate, while rear accessories like dual battery trays, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, canopies or caravan tow ball weight determine whether Standard, Medium, Heavy or Extra Heavy (600kg+) rear leaf springs suit best. Getting this wrong leaves you either sitting low at the rear under load or too firm and jarring when running empty, so tell our team your typical fitted accessory weight before ordering.
This is a bolt-on kit best fitted by a qualified suspension workshop or an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and standard hand tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe at the new ride height and to protect tyre wear. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the leaf springs and bushes to settle before final alignment if your workshop recommends it. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
Tough Dog is an Australian suspension manufacturer that designs and tunes its springs and shocks for local touring, towing and trade conditions rather than importing a generic off-the-shelf setup. Each kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and is widely fitted by both grey nomads and tradespeople running loaded utes and wagons daily. You can view the full Toughdog range to compare shock and spring options across other Toyota and 4WD platforms.
This kit suits 76 Series owners who tow a caravan or trailer, run a canopy and drawer system for work, or fit a bull bar and winch for touring. Tradespeople carrying tools daily and tourers running long-range fuel and water benefit most from the Heavy or Extra Heavy rear rate. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, our airbag suspension options can be added to the rear leaf springs for adjustable extra support on demand.
This kit is held in Australian stock for fast dispatch, and our team can confirm spring rate and shock selection against your accessory list before you order. Browse our full lift kit range or use the parts finder for your exact 76 Series build.

Yes, the TDTL76N kit is designed specifically for the 76 Series wagon from 1999-ON, covering both the 1HZ diesel and the 1VD-FTV V8 turbo-diesel introduced in 2007. It uses vehicle-specific raised coil springs at the front and matched leaf springs at the rear rather than a generic universal setup. If you're unsure of your exact build, check our parts finder for the 76 Series or contact our team with your VIN or build plate details.
This Tough Dog kit provides a 2" lift front and rear over standard ride height. The exact final height on your vehicle can vary slightly depending on the spring rate chosen and any fitted accessories such as a bull bar or canopy. Our team can talk you through expected ride height based on your load before you order.
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.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
Yes, when specified with a Heavy or Extra Heavy (600kg+) rear leaf spring rate this kit is built for constant towing and caravan tow ball loads. The multi-leaf rear pack is chosen to hold ride height under a laden tow setup rather than sag over time. Tell us your typical tow ball weight so we can recommend the correct rear spring rate for your combination.

Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes camber, caster and toe settings, and an alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend aligning immediately after fitment and rechecking after the initial bedding-in period.
Yes, this kit is available in Standard, Medium (0-300kg), Heavy (300-600kg) and Extra Heavy (600kg+) spring rates for both front and rear. Selection should be based on your constant fitted accessory weight — bull bar, winch, drawers, water tank, canopy or tow ball load — not just occasional peak loads. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll recommend the right rate combination.
A 2" lift on the 76 Series typically creates clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard, though the exact maximum depends on your wheel offset, flares and any rubbing points on the guards. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any additional trimming or flare requirements.
This Tough Dog kit is backed by the manufacturer's warranty covering the springs and shock absorbers against manufacturing defects. Full warranty terms and conditions are provided with your fitting documentation at purchase. Our team can confirm the current warranty period and claims process before you buy.
Yes, Tough Dog tunes its spring rates and shock valving to keep an unladen ride comfortable for daily use, not just for load-carrying trips. Choosing a spring rate matched to your actual constant accessory load — rather than over-specifying — is the key to a comfortable daily ride. Foam Cell and Foam Cell Pro shock options are the common choice for owners wanting daily comfort alongside occasional towing or touring duties.
