When ordering, select spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — the weight permanently fitted to your Jimny during typical driving. Common accessories that affect spring rate selection include bull bars, roof racks, rear spare tyre carriers, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, roof-top tents (when permanently mounted), and fixed canopies or hardtops. Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing a camper trailer should NOT be considered when selecting spring rates — choosing overly heavy springs for occasional use results in harsh ride quality and can prematurely wear bushes and other suspension components. For vehicles that regularly tow heavy loads, consider supplementing correctly-rated springs with load-assisting accessories rather than over-springing the vehicle.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this kit. The Jimny's live-axle suspension requires precise setup of adjustable panhard rods, castor bush installation, and brake component extension to achieve optimal geometry and safety. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to set castor, camber and toe to factory specifications (adjusted for lift height). All Toughdog suspension systems require a 500km break-in period during which spring rates will settle and components will seat properly — avoid extreme off-road use during this initial bedding-in phase. For owners planning serious touring or load-carrying, consider pairing this lift with upgraded steering dampers to further improve handling and reduce shimmy on corrugated tracks.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of real-world performance across the harshest terrain our continent can offer. Every Toughdog component is engineered with input from outback tourers, tradespeople and competition off-roaders who demand reliability when you're hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town. The complete Toughdog suspension range is backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by Australia's largest network of experienced 4WD suspension specialists who understand the unique demands of our driving conditions.
This kit is ideal for Jimny owners who want serious off-road capability without sacrificing daily drivability — weekend warriors tackling High Country tracks, beach fishermen navigating soft sand and tidal crossings, and outback adventurers exploring remote station tracks and Cape York peninsulas. The 60mm lift opens up significantly larger tyre fitment options while the foam cell shocks and adjustable geometry ensure composed handling both on highway runs and technical rock sections. If you regularly carry heavy camping loads or tow a small camper trailer, consider supplementing this lift with airbag suspension for rear axle load support and adjustable ride height control.

This Toughdog 60mm lift kit is specifically engineered for Suzuki Jimny models from 1998 to 2017, covering the SN413, JB23, JB33 and JB43 series with the 1.3L M13A petrol engine. It fits both manual and automatic transmissions across all trim levels during this period. If you own a 2018+ Jimny (JB74), this kit is not compatible as the newer generation uses completely different suspension architecture. You can verify exact fitment for your specific year and series using our Suzuki Jimny parts finder tool or by contacting our technical team with your VIN number.
This kit delivers a true 60mm (approximately 2.4 inches) of lift height measured at the body, significantly improving ground clearance and approach/departure angles. With this lift, most Jimny owners can comfortably fit 235/75R15 tyres (approximately 29 inches diameter) without rubbing during full suspension compression or steering lock, though minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required. Some owners have successfully fitted 245/75R15 tyres with additional trimming and offset wheel selection. The increased clearance also raises your differentials and transfer case further from obstacles, reducing the risk of expensive drivetrain damage on rocky trails.
This is a comprehensive suspension system including front and rear Toughdog foam cell shock absorbers, front and rear raised coil springs (60mm lift rated), adjustable panhard rods for both axles to correct geometry, front 3-degree castor correction bushes to restore proper steering feel, a front ABS relocation bracket, and a rear extended brake hose to accommodate increased travel. All necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions are included. You do not need to purchase any additional components to complete the installation, though a professional wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting and some owners choose to add upgraded steering dampers or extended diff breathers as complementary upgrades.
Yes, this Toughdog kit is suitable for towing within the Jimny's factory-rated towing capacity (typically 1300kg braked trailer), and the foam cell shock absorbers provide improved control and reduced sway when towing compared to worn factory suspension. However, when selecting spring rates during ordering, you should NOT factor in trailer weight as this is an occasional load rather than constant weight. If you frequently tow at or near maximum capacity, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for the rear axle, which allows you to increase spring rate only when towing and maintain comfortable ride quality when solo. The castor correction bushes and adjustable panhard rods also improve towing stability by maintaining proper suspension geometry.
The Jimny's live-axle front and rear suspension design means it does not use control arms in the traditional sense, so no control arm upgrades are required or applicable. However, this kit includes adjustable panhard rods (also called track rods) which are essential for correcting axle centring after the lift is installed. The included 3-degree castor correction bushes are also critical for maintaining proper steering geometry and road manners. All geometry-correction components needed are included in this kit. Some owners choose to add extended diff breathers to prevent water ingestion during deeper crossings, and upgraded steering dampers can further improve handling on corrugated outback tracks, but these are optional enhancements rather than requirements.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment performed by a qualified suspension specialist is absolutely mandatory after installing this lift kit. The castor correction bushes, raised ride height and adjustable panhard rods all affect your Jimny's suspension geometry, and proper alignment ensures optimal tyre wear, steering feel and handling characteristics. Your alignment technician should set castor, camber and toe angles to Suzuki's factory specifications (adjusted for the lift height), and the panhard rods must be adjusted to centre both axles perfectly under the chassis. Driving without proper alignment after installation can cause premature tyre wear, wandering at highway speeds, and poor handling characteristics that compromise safety both on-road and off-road.
Yes, Toughdog offers this kit with selectable spring rates for both front and rear axles to match your specific constant accessory load. When ordering, you'll select spring rates based on the permanent weight you carry — items like bull bars, winches, roof racks, rear tyre carriers, long-range tanks and permanently-mounted roof-top tents all affect the appropriate spring rate. It's critical to be honest about your constant load and NOT select springs rated for occasional loads like camping gear or towing weight. Front springs are typically selected based on bull bar and winch weight, while rear springs account for drawer systems, dual batteries, water tanks and other fixed accessories. Our team can help you calculate your accessory weight if you're unsure which spring rate to select.
Yes, this 60mm lift opens up significantly larger tyre options compared to stock Jimny suspension. Most owners successfully fit 235/75R15 tyres (approximately 29 inches diameter) with this lift height, which dramatically improves traction, ground clearance and off-road capability while maintaining reasonable gearing for the Jimny's small engine. Some owners push to 245/75R15 with additional plastic inner guard trimming and appropriate wheel offset selection. The larger rolling diameter does affect your speedometer reading (reading slower than actual speed) and reduces effective gearing slightly, which impacts acceleration and fuel economy. You may also need to consider a speedometer recalibration module for compliance and accuracy, though this is a simple electronic plug-in installation.
All Toughdog suspension components are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage that protects against manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal operating conditions. Toughdog's warranty terms are among the most comprehensive in the Australian 4WD suspension industry, reflecting the brand's confidence in their engineering and materials quality. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician and proper maintenance including regular shock inspection and following the 500km break-in recommendations. Warranty does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, operation outside the vehicle's designed limits, or normal wear items. Full warranty terms and registration details are included with your kit, and our team can answer specific warranty questions before purchase.
This Toughdog kit is absolutely suitable for daily driving and is designed to balance off-road capability with comfortable on-road manners for Jimny owners who drive to the trails rather than trailering their vehicle. The foam cell shock technology provides controlled damping that soaks up city potholes and country corrugations without the harsh ride often associated with heavy-duty off-road suspension. The castor correction bushes restore factory-like steering feel and high-speed stability, making highway driving confidence-inspiring. Many Australian Jimny owners run this exact setup as their primary daily driver while maintaining serious weekend off-road capability. The 500km break-in period is essential for allowing springs to settle and components to seat properly before subjecting the system to extreme loads.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Toughdog 60mm lift kit to our Jimny before our last trip down the Canning and it's completely transformed the little beast. The extra clearance made a massive difference on the rougher tracks, and the kids in the back reckon the ride is actually smoother than before with the foam cell shocks. Installation was straightforward enough for a weekend DIY job, and the castor correction keeps it tracking nice and straight on the highway between camp spots.(5)
Perfect height for work and weekend trips
Been running this Toughdog 60mm lift on my Jimny for about three months now, carting tools around the suburbs during the week and hitting some decent tracks on weekends. The foam cell shocks handle the constant loading and unloading way better than stock, and the ride quality is actually more comfortable than before. Really happy with the clearance gain for the price – makes a massive difference on rutted fire trails without making it a pain to get in and out of every day.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Work
Been running this Toughdog 60mm lift kit on my Jimny for six months now, covering everything from the Simpson Desert to the Canning Stock Route. The foam cell shocks handle the corrugations brilliantly without that bone-jarring harshness you get from cheaper setups, and the extra clearance has already saved my diff twice on rock ledges. Fitment was spot-on with the castor correction keeping the steering feel predictable, which matters when you're 400km from civilisation.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Family Beach Trips
Fitted this Toughdog 60mm lift kit to our Jimny before our annual Fraser Island trip and the difference was night and day. The extra clearance made sandy tracks and creek crossings so much easier, and the kids actually commented on how much smoother the ride was compared to the old setup. Installation was straightforward enough for our local mechanic to knock over in a day, and the quality of all the components feels solid. Definitely worth every cent for anyone doing regular weekend touring with the family.(5)
Perfect lift for my little Jimny
Had this Toughdog 60mm lift kit fitted to my Jimny last month and it's transformed the whole setup. The ride quality is actually better than stock, especially on corrugated tracks up in the High Country. Fitment was spot on with all the brackets lining up perfectly, and the bloke at 4WD Suspension Australia knew his stuff when helping me pick the right kit for my needs.(5)
