Toughdog Front 2-3" Coil Springs for Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Dual Cab

These Toughdog coil springs are designed to provide 2-3 inches (approximately 50-75mm) of front lift on your 79 Series LandCruiser Dual Cab. The actual lift height achieved will depend on several factors including the spring rate you select, the total weight of accessories fitted to your front end, and your vehicle's current condition. Heavily loaded vehicles with bull bars, winches and long range tanks will sit at the lower end of the lift range (closer to 2 inches), while lightly accessorised vehicles will achieve closer to 3 inches of lift. After the initial 500-1000km break-in period, springs will settle approximately 10-15mm from their as-fitted height, so factor this into your expectations when planning tyre clearances and final ride height.

This product includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog heavy duty front coil springs specifically manufactured for the Toyota 79 Series LandCruiser Dual Cab. The springs are supplied ready to install with corrosion-resistant coating applied. This listing is for front coil springs only — shock absorbers, upper control arms, brake line extensions, spring compressor tools, installation hardware and all other suspension components are sold separately and must be sourced according to your specific vehicle requirements. You will need to reuse your existing spring seats, shock absorbers and associated mounting hardware unless you're upgrading these components at the same time. We recommend reviewing your entire front suspension system and replacing worn components during installation to maximize the performance and longevity of your new springs.

Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are designed to handle the front-end load increases that occur when towing heavy trailers with your 79 Series LandCruiser. When towing, weight is transferred to the rear axle (causing squat) and simultaneously the front end lifts slightly, which can affect steering feel and headlight aim. By installing correctly rated front springs, you maintain proper front-end geometry and load distribution even when towing at maximum capacity. However, it's critical that you select your spring rate based on constant front accessories only — not towing loads. For optimal towing performance, pair these front springs with appropriate rear suspension upgrades such as heavy duty rear springs or airbag suspension to maintain level vehicle stance and safe handling under all towing conditions.

While these 2-3 inch lift springs can be installed with factory control arms, upgrading to aftermarket adjustable upper control arms is highly recommended for 79 Series LandCruisers being lifted in this range. The additional lift height changes your front suspension geometry, particularly castor angle and ball joint working angles, which can affect steering feel, returnability and long-term ball joint wear. Adjustable upper control arms allow your suspension specialist to correct castor angles back to optimal specifications, improving on-road handling and high-speed stability. If you're running larger tyres (33 inches or bigger) or planning serious off-road use, upgraded arms become even more important to prevent binding at full suspension compression and to maintain proper steering geometry throughout the full range of wheel travel.

Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing lifted coil springs on your 79 Series LandCruiser. Changing ride height alters all your front suspension geometry angles including castor, camber and toe settings, which directly affect steering feel, tyre wear patterns and vehicle safety. Even a 2 inch lift will push these angles outside factory specifications, potentially causing premature tyre wear, wandering steering, and poor handling characteristics if not corrected. Your alignment technician will need to adjust toe settings at minimum, and should also check and correct castor and camber where possible within the range of factory adjustments. Book your alignment appointment before installation so you can drive straight to the alignment shop after fitting, and plan to recheck alignment again after the 500-1000km break-in period once springs have fully settled.

Yes, Toughdog manufactures these front coil springs in multiple spring rates to accommodate different front-end loads on the 79 Series LandCruiser. When ordering, you'll need to select the spring rate that matches your constant front accessory weight — this is the combined weight of permanently fitted items like bull bars, winches, long range fuel tanks, upgraded batteries, and aftermarket air conditioning. It's crucial to calculate only constant loads and not include occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or recovery equipment. Under-rating your springs will result in excessive sag and poor handling, while over-rating them will create an unnecessarily harsh ride, accelerated wear on bushings and shock absorbers, and poor off-road traction due to reduced suspension compliance. If you're unsure which spring rate suits your setup, contact our team with a list of your front accessories and we'll recommend the optimal spring rate for your specific application.

These 2-3 inch front coil springs will provide additional clearance for larger tyres on your 79 Series LandCruiser, though the exact tyre size you can fit depends on several factors including wheel offset, whether you trim guards, and the width of the tyre you choose. With this lift height, most 79 Series Dual Cabs can accommodate 33 inch tyres (285/75R16 or 285/70R17) with minimal to no trimming of plastic guard liners. Some owners successfully fit 35 inch tyres (315/75R16) with this amount of lift, though this typically requires some guard trimming, aftermarket wheels with appropriate offset, and potentially differential diff drop brackets or modified bump stops to prevent tyre contact at full compression. Remember that larger tyres will slightly reduce your actual ground clearance gain from the lift, as the increased tyre radius lowers the differential and chassis relative to the tyre's contact patch. Always test-fit and conduct full suspension compression checks before committing to extreme tyre sizes.

These Toughdog front coil springs are covered by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for your investment. The specific warranty period and terms are provided with your purchase and cover manufacturing defects, premature spring failure, and coating breakdown under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified mechanic, proper spring rate selection based on your actual constant load, and installation with appropriate matched components such as shock absorbers rated for lifted applications. Warranty does not cover springs that have been overloaded beyond their rated capacity, damaged during installation, or subjected to modifications. Keep your purchase receipt and installation records, as these will be required for any warranty claims. For specific warranty duration and terms, contact us at the time of purchase or refer to the warranty documentation included with your springs.

Absolutely — these Toughdog front coil springs are engineered to provide excellent daily driving comfort while delivering the lift and load capacity you need for accessories and off-road capability. Unlike cheaper budget springs that sacrifice ride quality for load rating, Toughdog's Australian engineering focuses on maintaining compliant, comfortable on-road manners even with increased spring rates. When correctly matched to your constant front load, these springs will provide a comfortable ride for daily commuting, highway touring and urban driving, without the harsh, jarring ride associated with over-sprung alternatives. The key is honest spring rate selection — choosing springs matched to your actual constant load rather than overrating "just in case". Many 79 Series owners run lifted Toughdog springs for years of daily driving, school runs and weekend adventures with complete satisfaction, only noticing the improved stance and capability rather than compromised comfort.
