Tough Dog rear coil springs for converting the factory rear airbags of the Toyota LandCruiser Prado 150 Kakadu (2010-on) to conventional coils, sold per pair with 40mm of lift. The supplied electronic workaround prevents error indicators but disables the electronic dampening system - all four electronic dampers must be replaced with Tough Dog shocks at the same time. You also need the genuine Toyota bump-stop coil retainer (48302-60110 or 48302-60080).
Tough Dog coils are designed and made in Australia from micro-alloyed spring steel – shot-peened, scragged and load-tested, and hot-formed on precision mandrels so the spring keeps its height and rate after years of heavy loading.
Pick the rate for the weight the vehicle actually carries, not the weight you'd like it to carry – and count only permanent accessories and loads (bar, winch, drawers, long-range tank) when choosing. A spring that's too firm for an unloaded vehicle rides worse than the factory item; one that's too soft sags the moment you load up.
Fit springs in pairs per axle, and book a wheel alignment after any change in ride height. It's also worth checking brake-line slack and bump-stop condition while the suspension is apart.
Match them with Kakadu rear shocks.

The listed price covers both sides – always replace left and right together so the axle is evenly damped and sprung. It's a bolt-in job for a competent home mechanic or any workshop; check bushes, mounts and brake-line slack while everything is apart.
A moderate suspension lift is generally acceptable in most Australian states, but the allowed total lift and whether certification is needed differ between states and change over time – so always confirm with your state’s transport authority before modifying. Our guide explains how the rules work state by state: are lift kits legal in Australia?
Yes - the electronically controlled dampers on the 150 Series can be replaced with Tough Dog shocks without error indicators appearing, but all FOUR shock absorbers must be replaced at the same time. If operating correctly, the electronically-adjustable height control of factory rear airbags is not affected.
Yes - use the TDC1095 / TDC1096 conversion springs. The electronic workaround in the supplied instructions prevents error indicators, but it disables the electronic dampening system, so all four electronic dampers must be replaced with Tough Dog shocks at the same time. You also need the genuine Toyota bump-stop coil retainer, part 48302-60110 or 48302-60080. New strut tops (2x TOY-1083) and an 83mm sway bar spacer (TDSP-012, $75) are also available - contact us.
