Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Rear leaf spring rate should match the constant load you carry, not just occasional weight. Tell us your canopy weight, drawer system, bullbar, winch and long-range fuel tank total so we can recommend standard or heavy-duty leaf springs. Common accessories affecting spring choice include steel canopies, dual battery trays, water tanks, roof top tents and towbar-mounted gear.
This kit is suited to an experienced workshop or a competent DIY fitter with the correct tools for leaf spring U-bolts and strut removal. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling period before final alignment check, as springs take a light initial set. Many customers pair this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at 2"-3" of lift.
Toughdog has supplied 4WD suspension to the Australian market for decades, with shocks and springs developed and tuned locally rather than adapted from overseas fitments. Every kit carries manufacturer warranty cover and is dispatched from Australian stock, with our team available to confirm spring rate and lift height before you order. Tradespeople and touring drivers both run Toughdog kits on the N80 platform for the combination of load-carrying leaf springs and everyday ride quality. View the full Toughdog suspension range for other Hilux options.
This kit suits Hilux N80 owners running a canopy, toolboxes or a bullbar for work, and tourers fitting drawers, fridges and rooftop tents for extended trips. If your accessory load is at the top end or you tow a heavy van regularly, ask us about airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this kit's leaf spring rate.

Yes, this Toughdog kit is built for the Toyota Hilux N80 built from 2015 onward, covering Workmate, SR, SR5, Rogue and Rugged X variants with the 2.4L 2GD-FTV or 2.8L 1GD-FTV engine. Front strut and rear leaf spring mounting points are shared across these variants, so fitment is consistent across the range. If you're running a factory tray, canopy or aftermarket bullbar already, tell our team so we can confirm the right rear spring rate. Check the compatibility table above or use our N80 parts finder to double-check before ordering.
This kit gives a 2"-3" lift at the front and rear, with the exact height depending on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's current accessory load. The front lift comes from raised coil springs fitted inside the strut assembly, while the rear lift comes from the progressive rate leaf spring pack. Actual ride height also depends on chassis wear and factory tolerances, so figures are a guide rather than a guarantee. Our team can help you pick the spring combination that lands closest to your target 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 2 x Toughdog nitro gas front strut assemblies with raised coil springs, 2 x nitro gas rear shock absorbers, and 2 x progressive rate rear leaf springs rated up to 300kg constant load. U-bolt kits, greasable shackle bushes and mounting hardware are included for the rear leaf spring fitment. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your setup needs them at this lift height. Full fitting documentation and warranty paperwork ship with every kit.
Yes, the progressive rate rear leaf springs are designed to firm up under load, which suits towing a trailer or van in addition to touring accessories. Selecting the correct rear spring rate for your towball download and constant accessory load is the key step, so let us know your typical towing weight. The nitro gas rear shocks are matched to the leaf spring rate to control rebound when the vehicle is loaded and hitched up. For heavier or more variable towing loads, ask about adding airbag suspension for load levelling.
At 2"-3" of front lift, factory lower control arms can bind or lose some articulation, so many N80 owners upgrade to correct CV joint and geometry angles. It isn't compulsory for a straightforward daily-driven setup, but it's worth it if you regularly drive off-road or want maximum front-end range of motion. Our control arm range is designed to work alongside this lift height. Ask our team for a recommendation based on how you use the vehicle.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit, as the change in ride height alters camber, caster and toe from factory settings. We recommend an alignment straight after fitment and a second check after a 500km settling period once the springs have taken their initial set. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. Book your alignment with a shop experienced in lifted 4WDs where possible.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are available in different load ratings, including a medium duty option rated up to 300kg constant load. Front coil spring rate can also be matched to typical accessory weight such as a bullbar and winch. Tell us your loaded accessory weight, whether that's a canopy, drawers, water tank or dual battery setup, and we'll recommend the right combination. Getting this right up front avoids sag and keeps the lift height consistent once accessories are fitted.
A 2"-3" lift on the N80 typically clears a modest increase in tyre diameter over factory size, but exact clearance depends on wheel offset, width and your rim choice. Rubbing points to check are the front guard liner at full steering lock and the rear tub at full suspension compression. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel combination with our team before ordering so we can flag any clearance issues specific to your setup.
This Toughdog kit is covered by manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs, with documentation supplied at the time of purchase. Warranty terms are outlined in the paperwork that ships with the kit, and our team can talk you through the specifics for shocks versus springs. Correct installation and alignment are required to keep warranty cover valid. Contact us directly if you have a claim or question about coverage.
Yes, this kit is designed to balance daily on-road comfort with the ability to carry touring or work accessories, not just off-road performance. The progressive rate leaf springs ride softer unladen around town and firm up once you load the tray or hitch up. Nitro gas shocks front and rear are tuned for consistent damping across normal speed ranges rather than an extreme off-road-only setup. Most N80 owners running this kit use their Hilux as a daily driver and work vehicle as well as for touring.
