This kit suits all Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series models including GXL, Sahara and standard variants with coil spring front and rear suspension.

Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for ride quality, component longevity and vehicle safety—you must calculate your constant accessory load, which means the weight permanently fitted to your LandCruiser, not occasional cargo or passengers. Common front constant loads include steel bull bars (30-60kg), winches (35-50kg), upgraded intercoolers, heavy-duty batteries and diesel heaters. Rear constant loads typically include drawer systems (80-150kg), dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks (empty weight 25-40kg), water tanks (empty), canopies or hardtops (70-100kg), rear bars and tow hitches. Select only the spring rate that matches your actual constant load—choosing unnecessarily heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality, accelerated wear on suspension components and reduced comfort, while underrating springs will cause sagging and premature failure.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop is strongly recommended for this comprehensive lift kit, as it requires removal of coil springs under load, shock absorber replacement, brake line installation, panhard rod adjustment and castor bush fitment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to set correct castor, camber and toe settings—the included 3-degree castor correction bushes restore proper steering geometry that would otherwise be compromised by the 4-inch lift. Allow for a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle 5-10mm and shock absorbers will bed in—avoid harsh off-road driving during this initial period. Many 80 Series owners pair this lift with upgraded control arms featuring uniball or heavy-duty bushings for maximum articulation and long-term durability on remote touring adventures.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of real-world outback testing, supporting everyone from weekend warriors to commercial fleet operators, mine-site vehicles and grey nomad tourers crossing the Nullarbor. Every Toughdog component is engineered to survive Australia's unique combination of corrugated roads, extreme heat, bulldust, coastal salt and remote-area reliability demands. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of specialist fitment centres, the complete Toughdog suspension range represents proven value, consistent quality and the confidence to tackle Australia's toughest tracks knowing your suspension won't let you down.
This 4-inch Toughdog lift kit is ideal for serious 80 Series owners who demand maximum ground clearance for challenging tracks like the Canning Stock Route, Simpson Desert crossings, Cape York's Old Telegraph Track and remote High Country trails. It's perfect for long-range tourers carrying roof-top tents, 270-degree awnings, fridges and extensive recovery gear; tradies running canopies loaded with tools and materials; and families towing off-road camper trailers or caravans who need the lift for larger tyres and improved towing stability. If you're primarily a heavy load carrier rather than seeking lift height, also consider airbag suspension systems which can be added to this kit for on-demand load support and level towing.
Transform your Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series into the ultimate outback tourer with this complete Toughdog 4-inch suspension lift kit—Australian engineered, thoroughly tested and delivered with expert fitment support.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered to fit all Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series models from 1990 to 1998, including GXL, Sahara and standard wagon variants with factory coil spring suspension front and rear. The kit includes all necessary components including castor correction bushes, extended brake lines and adjustable panhard rods to maintain proper geometry and ride quality. If you've made significant modifications to your 80 Series or are unsure about fitment with aftermarket accessories, our suspension specialists can verify compatibility before you order.
This kit provides approximately 100mm (4 inches) of lift when measured from standard ride height, achieved through raised coil springs front and rear with proper load rating selection. The actual installed height will vary slightly based on your chosen spring rate, constant accessory load, and whether you select foam cell or adjustable shocks. After the initial 500km break-in period, expect springs to settle 5-10mm as they bed in under your vehicle's specific weight and usage patterns.
This comprehensive kit includes your choice of either four 41mm foam cell shock absorbers or four 45mm big bore adjustable shocks, front raised coil springs in comfort/medium or constant load rating, rear raised coils in 0-300kg or constant 300kg rating, 3-degree castor correction bushes, extended rubber brake lines for front and rear, and front and rear adjustable panhard rods with all mounting hardware. Unlike basic lift kits, this package includes everything needed to maintain proper steering geometry, brake line safety and axle alignment after lifting your 80 Series 4 inches.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing when you select the appropriate rear spring rate—the constant 300kg rear coils are specifically designed for vehicles that regularly tow caravans, camper trailers or heavy boat trailers. The upgraded shock absorbers (particularly the 45mm adjustable option) provide superior damping control under tow, reducing sway and maintaining stability, while the 4-inch lift improves clearance for off-road caravan tracks. For ultimate towing performance and on-demand load leveling, many 80 Series owners add airbag suspension to this lift kit for adjustable support when hitched up.
While this Toughdog kit includes castor correction bushes to restore proper steering geometry, the factory control arms will still function at 4 inches of lift for general touring and daily driving. However, many serious 80 Series owners choose to upgrade to heavy-duty aftermarket control arms with uniball joints or premium bushings for maximum articulation, reduced maintenance and improved durability on extreme off-road tracks. Upgraded control arms are particularly beneficial if you plan aggressive rock crawling, frequent corrugated road travel or need maximum suspension flex for technical terrain.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit, including this Toughdog 4-inch system. The lift changes your LandCruiser's castor, camber and toe settings significantly—while the included 3-degree castor correction bushes restore proper steering geometry, a qualified workshop must still set all alignment angles to manufacturer specifications adjusted for the new ride height. Driving without proper alignment after lift installation will cause rapid tyre wear, poor handling, steering pull and potential safety issues.
Yes, this kit offers multiple spring rate options specifically so you can match springs to your constant accessory load—front coils are available in comfort/medium or constant load rating, while rear coils come in 0-300kg progressive or constant 300kg ratings. It's critical that you select springs based only on your permanent/constant load (bull bar, winch, drawers, canopy, tanks when empty), not occasional cargo or passengers. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality, reduced comfort and accelerated wear on suspension bushings and shock absorbers.
With 4 inches of lift on your LandCruiser 80 Series, you can typically fit 33-inch tyres (285/75R16 or 255/85R16) without major modification, and many owners successfully run 35-inch tyres (315/75R16) with minor trimming of plastic inner guards and possible slight body mount chop at full articulation. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, backspacing and your specific driving style—tyres may contact at full steering lock or extreme flex if you choose aggressive sizes. Always test-fit and verify clearance at full steering lock, full compression and full droop before committing to a wheel and tyre package.
Toughdog suspension components are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage against defects in materials and workmanship—specific warranty terms vary by component type, with shock absorbers typically covered for 12-24 months and coil springs covered for 24-36 months depending on the series. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified workshop, proper vehicle alignment after installation, and use within the component's specified load and application ratings. Keep your purchase receipt and installation records, as these will be required for any warranty claims processed through 4WD Suspension Australia.
Yes, despite the substantial 4-inch lift height, this Toughdog kit maintains excellent on-road manners when properly installed with correct spring rates and professional alignment—the quality coil springs provide progressive rate characteristics that absorb bumps comfortably, while the shock absorbers (especially the 45mm adjustable option) control body roll and maintain composed highway handling. Many 80 Series owners daily-drive this setup without issues, though you'll notice slightly increased wind noise, marginally higher fuel consumption due to aerodynamic changes, and a higher center of gravity that requires slight adjustment to cornering speeds compared to stock ride height.
Exactly What My Old Cruiser Needed
Had this Toughdog lift kit fitted to my 80 series about three months back and it's been coping brilliantly with daily site runs plus weekend beach trips. The ride quality is heaps better than the worn out stock suspension, and it's handling the weight of my toolbox and ladder rack without any dramas. Fitment was straightforward according to my mechanic, which saved me a bit on labour too.(5)
Proper Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Toughdog 4-inch lift kit on my 80 Series for about 8 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York, and it's handled the punishment without a complaint. The ride quality is surprisingly comfortable even with a full touring setup, and the extra clearance has saved my diff more times than I can count on rocky crossings. Fitment was spot-on and the damping stays consistent even when the corrugations get brutal.(5)
Perfect Lift for Our Family Adventures
Had this Toughdog 4-inch lift kit fitted to our 80 Series before our trip down the Cape, and the difference is night and day. The extra clearance has been brilliant for creek crossings and rough tracks, plus the kids reckon the ride is smoother than before even when loaded up with camping gear. Really impressed with how well everything fitted together, saved our mechanic a heap of time during installation.(5)
