Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and suspension longevity — you must choose based on your constant accessory load only, not occasional loads or towing weights. Constant load includes permanently fitted accessories such as steel bull bars, rear bars, roof racks, long-range fuel tanks, dual battery systems, drawer systems, roof-top tents, winches, upgraded wheels and tyres, and water storage systems. Do not factor in the weight of camping gear you load occasionally or trailer towing weights, as these are temporary loads. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in an excessively firm ride, premature wear on bushings and other suspension components, and poor shock absorber performance.
This 6 inch lift kit requires professional installation by qualified mechanics or highly experienced DIY enthusiasts with appropriate equipment including spring compressors, torque wrenches, and safe lifting facilities. A full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installation to set correct castor, camber, and toe angles — failure to align will result in premature tyre wear, wandering steering, and unsafe handling characteristics. All suspension components require a 500-1000km break-in period during which springs will settle and dampers will bed-in — minor ride height adjustments may occur during this period. For vehicles with extreme lift heights and heavy accessories, consider pairing this kit with upgraded adjustable control arms to maximize suspension articulation and further refine geometry correction.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of proven performance in the harshest conditions our continent can deliver.

This extreme 6 inch lift kit is engineered for serious touring enthusiasts planning long-range remote expeditions, tradespeople hauling heavy constant payloads, rock crawlers demanding maximum articulation and clearance, and dedicated off-road adventurers who need the ultimate ground clearance for technical terrain. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or trailers, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension systems for on-demand load leveling and enhanced towing stability. This kit delivers the ride height and capability to run 35+ inch tyres, protect underbody components on extreme tracks, and build the ultimate expedition LandCruiser 80 Series.

This Toughdog 6 inch lift kit is specifically engineered to fit all Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series models produced between 1990 and 1998, including both petrol (1FZ-FE) and diesel variants (1HZ and 1HD-T turbo diesel). The kit includes all necessary components for a complete installation including castor correction plates, extended brake lines, and adjustable panhard rods to ensure proper fitment and geometry. If you have a modified 80 Series with non-standard suspension components or body modifications, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This kit provides approximately 6 inches (150mm) of total lift height over factory specifications, delivering exceptional ground clearance for extreme off-road terrain, rock crawling, and serious expedition work. Actual lift height achieved may vary by 10-20mm depending on your vehicle's current condition, the spring rate selected, and your constant accessory load. After installation, springs will settle over the first 500-1000km break-in period, which is normal and expected behaviour. This is one of the most extreme lift options available for the 80 Series platform and enables fitment of 35+ inch tyres with appropriate wheel offset.
This complete kit includes four 45mm big bore adjustable shock absorbers (front and rear pair), front raised coil springs in your selected load rating, rear raised coil springs in your selected load rating, a pair of 5-degree castor correction plates, extended rubber brake lines for front and rear, front adjustable panhard rod, rear adjustable panhard rod, and all mounting hardware required for installation. The kit does not include upper control arms, extended diff breathers, or extended sway bar links which may be required depending on your vehicle's configuration. All components are genuine Toughdog parts backed by full manufacturer warranty.
Yes, this kit significantly improves towing capability when configured with appropriate spring rates, as the upgraded suspension can handle heavier constant loads and the adjustable shocks allow you to firm up damping for better tow vehicle stability. However, it's critical that you select spring rates based only on your constant accessory weight, not towing weights — occasional towing loads should not influence spring selection. For regular heavy towing, consider supplementing this lift kit with airbag suspension which provides on-demand load leveling and prevents rear squat when hitched. The combination of this lift kit with airbags creates an exceptional towing platform for the 80 Series.
While this kit includes castor correction plates to restore factory geometry, upgrading to adjustable upper and lower control arms is highly recommended with a 6 inch lift to maximize suspension articulation, allow further fine-tuning of castor and camber angles, and reduce stress on factory control arm bushings. Adjustable control arms also enable you to correct any remaining geometry issues and achieve perfect wheel alignment after installation. Many serious 80 Series builders opt for upgraded control arms when installing extreme lift heights like this 6 inch kit, particularly if planning aggressive off-road use or rock crawling where maximum suspension flex is beneficial.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, and particularly critical with a 6 inch lift which significantly alters suspension geometry. Despite the included castor correction plates, professional alignment is required to set correct castor, camber, toe angles, and ensure the adjustable panhard rods are correctly positioned for axle centering. Driving without proper alignment after installation will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering feel, and potentially unsafe handling characteristics. Always factor alignment costs into your installation budget, and choose an alignment shop experienced with lifted 4WD vehicles.
Yes, this kit offers selectable spring rates to match your exact constant accessory load — front springs are available in Comfort/Medium or Constant Load rating, while rear springs come in 0-300kg variable load or Constant 300kg rating. You must select spring rates based exclusively on permanently fitted accessories like bull bars, roof racks, drawer systems, long-range tanks, and dual batteries — do not include occasional camping gear or towing weights in your calculation. When ordering, you'll specify your front and rear spring preferences based on your build configuration. If you're unsure which rating to select, our suspension specialists can guide you through the calculation process to ensure optimal ride quality.
With 6 inches of lift height, the LandCruiser 80 Series can accommodate 35 inch tyres and potentially larger depending on wheel offset, backspacing, and tyre width. You may need to trim minor plastic components or adjust bump stops for full articulation clearance with very aggressive tyre sizes. This lift height also allows for significant suspension travel and articulation without tyre-to-body contact during off-road flex. For the most accurate tyre fitment advice specific to your wheel and offset combination, consult with experienced 80 Series builders or contact our team with your specific wheel and tyre specifications before purchasing.
All Toughdog suspension components in this kit are covered by comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, with warranty periods varying by component type (typically 12 months for shock absorbers and springs when used for recreational purposes). Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper maintenance, and use within the manufacturer's specifications. Keep all installation receipts and documentation, and note that warranty does not cover wear items, damage from accidents, or failures resulting from improper installation or use beyond rated capacity. As an authorized Toughdog dealer, we support all warranty claims with genuine Australian stock replacement components.
Yes, while this is an extreme lift height designed primarily for serious off-road capability, the Toughdog kit is engineered to maintain acceptable on-road manners for daily driving and highway touring when correctly installed and aligned. The adjustable shock absorbers allow you to tune damping for comfortable highway cruising, and the selectable spring rates ensure you're not running overly stiff springs that would compromise ride quality. However, you should expect some trade-offs compared to a factory or mild lift setup — higher center of gravity affects cornering speed, aerodynamics impact fuel economy, and ride quality is firmer than stock. This kit is best suited for vehicles that prioritize off-road capability over ultimate on-road refinement.
Perfect upgrade for my work cruiser
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my 80 Series for about 6 months now, carting tools and materials to sites every day. The ride quality is heaps better than the old worn-out setup, and it handles the load without sagging. Had it fitted by a local 4WD shop and everything went together properly, no dramas at all.(5)
Solid Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Toughdog 6-inch lift kit on my 80 Series for about 8 months now, covering some pretty rough tracks through the Simpson and up Cape York. The ride quality is surprisingly comfortable even with a full load of recovery gear and long-range tanks, and it's handled every corrugation and creek crossing without a complaint. Fitment was spot-on and the increased clearance has been a game-changer on those gnarly rocky sections where my old setup would've had me sweating.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our family camping adventures
After fitting this Toughdog 6 inch lift kit to our 80 Series, the difference on our trips down to the Victorian High Country has been incredible. The ride quality is noticeably smoother even when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear, and the extra clearance gave us heaps more confidence on some of the rougher tracks. Installation was straightforward enough for my local mechanic to sort in a day, and the whole setup feels really solid. Couldn't be happier with the value for what you get.(5)
