Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality. Choose your spring rate based on your constant accessory load only — this means accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Common front accessories that affect spring selection include steel bull bars, winches, heavy-duty bumpers, dual battery systems, upgraded intercoolers, air compressors, long-range fuel tanks (if front-mounted) and roof racks with permanent loads. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, recovery gear, passengers and towing are not considered constant loads. Selecting a spring rate that's too heavy will result in harsh ride quality, accelerated wear on suspension components including bushes and shock absorbers, and potential damage to steering and chassis components over time.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced 4WD workshop is strongly recommended for coil spring replacement. Installation requires spring compressors, proper safety equipment and torque specifications to ensure correct and safe fitment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, even tyre wear and optimal handling characteristics. A 500km break-in period is recommended after fitment — during this time springs will settle and find their final ride height, which may result in 5-10mm height reduction. For vehicles with heavy constant front loads or extended touring use, consider pairing these springs with upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and maintain factory steering geometry after lift.

These front coil springs are perfect for Mitsubishi Triton MQ-MR owners who've added front accessories like bull bars and winches and are experiencing front-end sag, reduced ride height or compromised handling. Ideal for tradespeople carrying constant tool and equipment loads, touring enthusiasts with dual battery and compressor setups, and anyone wanting to level their vehicle after adding heavy front accessories. If you're planning to carry heavy or variable rear loads for towing caravans or work equipment, consider pairing these springs with airbag suspension at the rear for on-demand load adjustment and perfectly level towing stance without compromising unladen ride quality.

Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Triton MQ series (2015-2018) and MR series (2019-current) models. They're designed as direct factory replacements using all original mounting points with no modifications required. The springs suit all MQ-MR variants including single cab, club cab and dual cab configurations across both 2WD and 4WD drivetrains. If you're unsure about your specific model year or variant, use our online parts finder tool or contact our team with your VIN number for confirmation.
These Toughdog front coil springs provide approximately 20mm of lift height over factory specifications when measured at the front axle centerline. Actual lift achieved can vary by 5-10mm depending on your constant accessory load, selected spring rate, and vehicle condition. Keep in mind that springs will settle during the first 500km break-in period, which may reduce initial lift by 5-10mm as the springs find their final working height. For maximum lift and capability, these front springs can be combined with matching rear suspension upgrades for a balanced four-corner lift system.
This kit includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog front coil springs specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Triton MQ-MR models. The springs feature premium-grade spring steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating applied. This is a springs-only kit — shock absorbers, spring seats, bump stops, sway bar links, control arms and other suspension components are not included and are available separately. Professional installation with proper spring compressors is required, and wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment to ensure correct steering geometry and safe operation.
Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are designed to handle the demands of towing when properly matched to your constant front accessory load. However, it's important to note that towing loads are not considered when selecting spring rates — you should select springs based only on permanently fitted front accessories like bull bars and winches. The increased spring rate and lift help maintain proper vehicle geometry and reduce front-end dive under braking while towing. For optimal towing performance with heavy caravans or trailers, consider adding airbag suspension or helper springs to the rear to maintain level stance and reduce rear-end sag.
While control arm upgrades are not mandatory for a 20mm lift, they are highly recommended for optimal steering geometry and long-term performance. The 20mm front lift can affect castor angles and may push your suspension geometry toward the limits of factory adjustment. Upgraded control arms with extended ball joint positions restore correct castor angles, improve steering feel and returnability, reduce tyre wear, and provide additional clearance for larger tyres. If you're planning a complete suspension upgrade, touring extensively, or running larger tyres, control arms should be considered an essential part of your build.
Yes, wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any coil spring that changes vehicle ride height. Even a 20mm lift alters suspension geometry including castor, camber and toe settings, which directly affects steering feel, handling characteristics and tyre wear patterns. A qualified workshop should perform a full four-wheel alignment to manufacturer specifications (adjusted for your new ride height) immediately after installation. Failure to perform alignment can result in uneven tyre wear, poor steering returnability, vehicle pull to one side, and compromised on-road safety. Budget for professional alignment as a non-negotiable part of your installation cost.
Yes, Toughdog engineers these coil springs in multiple spring rates to suit different constant accessory loads fitted to your Triton. When ordering, you'll select your spring rate based on the permanent weight of front accessories like bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, dual battery systems and heavy-duty recovery equipment. It's critical to select only your constant load — occasional loads like camping gear, passengers and towing weight should not be factored into spring rate selection. Selecting too heavy a spring rate will result in harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on suspension components, while too light a rate will cause excessive sag and bottoming.
The 20mm front lift provided by these Toughdog coil springs contributes to increased clearance for slightly larger tyres, but total tyre clearance depends on your complete suspension setup including rear lift height. Generally, a 20-30mm lift front and rear allows Triton MQ-MR models to accommodate tyres up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (depending on wheel offset) with minimal rubbing on standard guards. For larger tyres beyond this size, you may need additional modifications such as guard trimming, wheel spacers (check local regulations), or aftermarket upper control arms for additional clearance. Always test-fit and check clearance at full steering lock and suspension compression before committing to larger tyres.

Warranty coverage protects against manufacturing defects and material failures under normal operating conditions. To maintain warranty validity, professional installation is required with proof of purchase, and periodic maintenance including inspections and wheel alignments should be documented.
