Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and avoiding premature component wear. Select your spring load rating based on the constant weight of accessories permanently fitted to your LandCruiser 105. Common front accessories include bull bars, winches, upgraded intercoolers, dual batteries, and auxiliary lighting. Rear accessories include dual spare wheels, rear bars, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, water tanks, and rooftop tents. Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, and towing are not considered constant load. If you occasionally tow or carry heavy loads, consider pairing this lift with airbag suspension for variable load support without compromising unladen ride quality. Selecting overly heavy spring rates for weight you don't permanently carry will result in harsh ride, reduced traction, and accelerated bushing wear.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop is strongly recommended for this 3 inch lift kit. Installation requires specialized spring compressors, torque wrenches, and solid axle suspension knowledge. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to reset castor, camber, and toe settings with the new suspension geometry. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed in before making any adjustable shock tuning changes. Depending on your state's vehicle modification regulations, engineering certification may be required for lifts exceeding 50mm. This 75mm lift may also necessitate modifications including adjustable panhard rods, extended bump stops, modified steering arms, tailshaft modifications, and potentially upgraded control arms for optimal geometry and legal compliance.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence and real-world outback testing. Every Toughdog kit is designed specifically for Australian conditions, rigorously tested across desert corrugations, Cape York mud, High Country rock, and towing heavy caravans in extreme heat. Toughdog suspension is trusted by tradies running loaded workhorses daily, grey nomads touring Australia's harshest tracks, and weekend warriors chasing adventure. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and Australian customer support, you can explore with confidence. View the full Toughdog suspension range for complementary upgrades including steering dampers, shock absorbers, and heavy-duty springs.
This 3 inch Toughdog lift kit is engineered for serious LandCruiser 105 owners who demand maximum capability: outback tourers tackling remote tracks with heavy expedition gear, caravan towers needing payload capacity and stability, or off-road enthusiasts running large mud tyres and rock sliders. If you're carrying permanent heavy accessories like dual batteries, long-range tanks, rooftop tents, and drawer systems, the custom spring rate options deliver proper support without compromise. For those who occasionally carry heavy loads or tow but want comfortable daily driving, consider pairing standard spring rates with supplemental airbag suspension for the best of both worlds.

This kit is specifically engineered for Toyota LandCruiser 105 Series models (1998-2007) with solid front axle configuration. It fits both 1HZ 4.2L diesel and 1FZ-FE 4.5L petrol engine variants. The 105 Series features a solid front axle unlike the 100 Series which uses independent front suspension (IFS), so it's critical to confirm your model before ordering. If you're unsure about your exact series or need fitment confirmation for a specific build date or variant, contact our team with your VIN number for verification.
This Toughdog kit delivers 75mm (3 inches) of lift height measured at the chassis, significantly increasing ground clearance for serious off-road capability. With this lift, you can comfortably fit 33-inch tyres with standard wheel offset, or up to 35-inch tyres with appropriate wheel spacers or offset wheels and minor guard trimming. The actual lift achieved may vary slightly depending on your vehicle's current load and the spring rate you select. Remember that larger tyres may require recalibration of your speedometer and can affect gearing, braking, and fuel economy.
This complete kit includes four Toughdog shock absorbers (your choice of 41mm foam cell, 40mm adjustable, or 45mm big bore adjustable), front and rear raised coil springs with multiple load ratings available, 3-degree castor correction bushes, and extended brake lines. All necessary mounting hardware and U-bolts are included for installation. However, depending on your state's regulations and your specific vehicle setup, you may need to purchase additional components separately such as adjustable panhard rods, extended bump stops, modified steering components, or upgraded control arms to achieve legal compliance and optimal performance with a 3-inch lift.
Yes, this Toughdog kit is excellent for towing and heavy payload applications when you select the appropriate spring rates. The rear coil springs are available in 0-300kg or constant 300kg load ratings to support heavy accessories, rooftop tents, dual spare wheels, and caravan towing. The adjustable shock options allow you to tune compression and rebound damping to suit loaded versus unloaded conditions. For maximum versatility, many customers pair this lift kit with supplemental airbag suspension, which allows you to maintain optimal ride height and control when towing or loaded, while still enjoying comfortable ride quality when running empty.
While this kit includes castor correction bushes to restore steering geometry, a 3-inch lift on a solid axle LandCruiser 105 may benefit from additional suspension geometry corrections depending on your intended use and state regulations. Adjustable control arms can provide additional castor and pinion angle adjustment for optimal driveline geometry and steering feel. An adjustable panhard rod is often recommended to recenter the axle under the vehicle after lifting. Engineering requirements vary by state, so consult your local vehicle standards authority and an experienced 4WD workshop to determine which additional components are necessary for legal compliance and optimal performance with a 75mm lift.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit. The increased ride height alters your vehicle's castor, camber, and toe angles, which will cause uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and potential safety issues if not corrected. The included 3-degree castor correction bushes help restore proper castor angle, but precise alignment is still required to set all angles within manufacturer specifications. Book your alignment with a workshop experienced in lifted 4WDs who understands solid axle geometry. Plan to have alignment rechecked after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled.
Spring rate selection should be based exclusively on the constant weight of accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads. Calculate your front constant load by adding up items like bull bar, winch, upgraded intercooler, dual batteries, and auxiliary lighting. For the rear, include items like rear bar, dual spare wheels, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, water tanks, and permanently mounted rooftop tents. Do not include the weight of passengers, camping gear, tools, or towing loads as these are variable. If you occasionally tow or carry heavy loads but want good unladen ride quality, select springs for your constant load only and consider adding airbags for variable load support.
The 41mm bore foam cell shocks are Toughdog's proven workhorse option, offering excellent performance and value for general touring and light off-road use with fixed damping rates. The 40mm bore adjustable shocks add external compression and rebound adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune ride quality between soft (for empty/comfort) and firm (for loaded/off-road) settings. The premium 45mm big bore adjustable shocks feature larger pistons and increased oil capacity for superior heat dissipation, fade resistance, and damping consistency during extended corrugated road driving or aggressive off-road use. Adjustable options are ideal if you regularly switch between heavily loaded touring and empty daily driving conditions.
Toughdog provides comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage on all components in this lift kit, protecting you against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty periods vary by component type, with shock absorbers and coil springs typically covered for different durations. Warranty coverage requires proper installation by a qualified workshop, use within the product's design parameters, and regular maintenance. Keep your proof of purchase and installation records. For exact warranty terms and conditions including duration and claim process, refer to the documentation included with your kit or contact us for detailed warranty information before purchase.
Australian vehicle modification regulations vary significantly by state and territory, with most jurisdictions limiting non-certified lifts to 50mm (2 inches) before requiring engineering certification. This 75mm (3 inch) kit will likely require an engineer's certificate and may necessitate additional modifications including brake line extensions, adjustable panhard rod, modified steering components, extended bump stops, and potentially driveline modifications to meet ADR compliance. Some states may restrict lifts of this height entirely for road-registered vehicles. Before purchasing, research your state's specific modification rules through your transport authority, and budget for engineering inspection costs and any additional required components to ensure legal road registration.
