Contact our suspension experts or check our FAQ page for detailed fitment guidance and load calculation assistance.
Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and component longevity in your Land Cruiser 105. When ordering, choose your spring rates based on your current constant load — the combined weight of accessories and gear that remain permanently installed in or on your vehicle. This includes items such as bull bars, roof racks, steel rear bars, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, fridges, water tanks, roof-top tents, spare tyres, winches, and UHF communication equipment. Do not factor occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing weight into your spring rate calculation, as these temporary additions should not influence your base spring selection. If you regularly tow caravans or trailers, consider pairing this lift kit with airbag suspension for adjustable rear support that can be inflated when towing and deflated for unladen driving.
Common Front Accessories: Bull bar, winch, dual battery, long-range fuel tank, upgraded bumper, driving lights
Common Rear Accessories: Rear bar, dual spare wheel carriers, drawer systems, fridge slide, water tanks, roof-top tent, canopy or hard lid, recovery gear storage
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. Experienced DIY installers with appropriate equipment and mechanical knowledge can perform the installation, but must follow all manufacturer instructions and torque settings precisely. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain safe handling characteristics — this is particularly critical on solid front axle Land Cruisers where caster and toe settings affect both on-road stability and off-road performance.
Allow a 500-kilometre break-in period after installation for springs to settle and components to bed in, then recheck all fastener torques and have alignment verified. Depending on your lift height and intended use, you may also benefit from upgrading to extended control arms or adjustable arms to optimize suspension geometry and maximize wheel travel.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for the Toyota Land Cruiser 105 Series produced from 1998 to 2007 with solid front axle configuration. The 105 Series includes models such as the HZJ105, FZJ105, and HDJ105 variants. All components are designed as direct replacements using factory mounting points with no modifications required. If you're unsure about your specific variant or have concerns about fitment with existing modifications, our technical team can verify compatibility before you order.
This Toughdog kit provides approximately 2 inches (50mm) of lift height when measured from standard unladen ride height. The actual lift achieved will vary slightly depending on your chosen spring rate and the constant accessory load you're carrying. Heavier constant loads will compress springs more, potentially reducing net lift height, which is why correct spring rate selection is critical. The 2-inch lift is ideal for accommodating larger tyres up to approximately 33 inches while improving ground clearance and approach angles for off-road touring.
When ordering this kit, you can select your preferred Toughdog shock absorber type to match your driving style and requirements. Options typically include Toughdog foam cell shocks, which feature progressive damping and superior heat dissipation for consistent performance on long corrugated tracks, or nitro gas shocks that offer responsive damping and fade resistance. Both shock types are specifically valved for the Land Cruiser 105 platform and matched to work with the raised coil springs included in the kit. Our team can recommend the best shock option based on your typical driving conditions and load requirements.
Yes, this Toughdog kit is well-suited for towing applications when paired with correctly selected rear spring rates to accommodate your towing setup. The engineered coil springs provide enhanced load capacity and maintain ride height under towing loads better than worn factory springs. However, if you regularly tow heavy caravans or require adjustable rear support, we strongly recommend adding airbag suspension to complement this lift kit. Airbags allow you to adjust rear height and load support as needed, providing optimal geometry when towing and a comfortable ride when unladen. Always ensure your total vehicle weight including tow ball download remains within manufacturer GVM and GCM limits.
For a 2-inch lift on the Land Cruiser 105 solid front axle, upgraded or extended control arms are not strictly mandatory but may be beneficial depending on your requirements. The factory control arms will function with this lift height, though you may experience slightly altered suspension geometry. If you're planning to maximize wheel travel for serious off-road work, frequently drive in extreme articulation situations, or want to optimize caster angle for improved highway handling, aftermarket adjustable control arms are worth considering. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific needs and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular setup and driving style.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this lift kit and should be considered a non-negotiable part of the installation process. Changing ride height alters your Land Cruiser's suspension geometry, affecting caster, camber, and toe settings that directly impact steering feel, tyre wear, and vehicle safety. Even on solid front axle vehicles like the 105 Series, alignment is critical to ensure correct tracking and prevent accelerated tyre wear. The alignment should be performed after installation and initial settling, then rechecked after the first 500 kilometers of driving once components have fully bedded in and springs have settled to their final height.
Spring rate selection should be based solely on your current constant load — the permanent weight of accessories that remain installed on your vehicle at all times. Start by listing all fixed accessories front and rear, including bull bars, winches, rear bars, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range tanks, roof-top tents, and spare wheel carriers. Estimate or weigh these components to calculate total constant load for front and rear. Do not include occasional items like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight in this calculation. When ordering, select the spring rate that corresponds to your constant load figures. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will result in an unnecessarily harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components, while springs that are too light will cause sagging and reduced performance.
With a 2-inch lift on your Land Cruiser 105, you can typically accommodate tyres up to approximately 33 inches in diameter (285/75R16 or similar) without significant modifications, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset and tyre width. Some light trimming of plastic inner guards or mud flaps may be required for full articulation clearance depending on your specific wheel and tyre combination. If you're planning to run larger tyres or wider track wheels, you may need additional modifications such as body mount chops or aftermarket guards. We recommend test-fitting your intended tyre and wheel combination and checking clearance at full lock and full compression before committing to a purchase, particularly if you're running offset or aggressive tread patterns.
This Toughdog lift kit is backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Specific warranty periods vary by component type, with shock absorbers and coil springs each carrying their own coverage terms. Warranty claims require proof of professional installation or detailed documentation of DIY installation following manufacturer specifications, and components must be inspected to verify the failure was not caused by accident, misuse, or installation error. Toughdog's warranty is honored through their extensive dealer network across Australia, making claim processing straightforward. For complete warranty terms and conditions specific to this kit, contact us or refer to the documentation included with your shipment.
Absolutely — this Toughdog kit is engineered to provide excellent on-road comfort and handling for daily driving while delivering enhanced off-road capability when needed. The progressive spring rates and well-valved shock absorbers maintain a compliant ride quality on sealed roads, reducing fatigue on long highway journeys while providing superior control and stability compared to worn factory suspension. Many Land Cruiser 105 owners use their vehicles as daily drivers for work and family duties while also enjoying weekend touring and off-road adventures. This kit is designed to excel in both environments without compromise. Properly selected spring rates matched to your constant load ensure the suspension works correctly whether you're commuting in traffic or crossing the Simpson Desert.
Perfect Kit for Daily Work and Weekend Tracks
Been running this Toughdog 2-inch lift on my 105 for about six months now, loaded up with tools every day and hitting the high country most weekends. Ride quality is spot on – way better than the tired old setup I had before, and it handles the weight of my toolkit without sagging. Installation was straightforward enough and everything lined up properly, which isn't always a given with aftermarket gear.(5)
Proper Setup for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Toughdog 2-inch lift kit on my 105 for about 6 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York, and it's handled the punishment brilliantly. The spring rates are spot-on for touring weight—fully loaded with water, recovery gear and rooftop tent, it sits level and soaks up the corrugations without any dramas. Fitment was straightforward and the shocks have stayed consistent even in the brutal heat up north.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Finally got the Toughdog 2-inch lift kit fitted to our 105 and couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the old girl. We've done a couple of trips down to the High Country since installation and the ride quality on corrugations is noticeably better than the tired stock suspension it replaced. The extra clearance has already paid off on some of the rockier tracks, and the kids reckon it looks tougher too. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
