Not sure if this fits your vehicle or which spring rate to select? Contact our suspension experts for personalised advice or check our FAQ page for more information.
Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and suspension performance. Your spring rate should be based on the constant accessory load fitted to your Toyota FJ Cruiser — this means accessories that are permanently installed and carried at all times, not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Front constant loads typically include steel bull bars, winches (typically 20-40kg), dual battery systems, upgraded lighting, communication equipment like UHF radios, and long-range fuel tanks if front-mounted. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, recovery gear, passengers, or towing should NOT be considered when selecting your spring rate, as choosing too heavy a spring rate will result in an excessively firm ride, accelerated wear on other suspension components including suspension components and bushings, and reduced on-road comfort for daily driving. If you're unsure about your constant load weight or which spring rate to choose, our team can help calculate your requirements based on your specific accessories.
Professional installation by a qualified automotive technician or experienced mechanic is strongly recommended for this coil spring upgrade. The installation process involves safely supporting the vehicle, compressing springs with appropriate spring compressors, and ensuring all mounting hardware is correctly torqued to manufacturer specifications. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, even tyre wear, and optimal handling characteristics. All new coil springs require a break-in period of approximately 500 kilometres, during which the springs will settle to their final ride height — expect the vehicle to sit slightly higher immediately after installation. For vehicles with significant lift or heavy constant loads, consider pairing these front coils with upgraded control arms to maintain correct suspension geometry and maximize component longevity.

These Toughdog front coil springs are specifically engineered to fit all Toyota FJ Cruiser models manufactured between 2010 and 2018 equipped with the 4.0L V6 petrol engine. They are designed as direct replacements for the factory front coil springs and bolt into the original mounting points without requiring modifications. The springs fit both left-hand drive and right-hand drive FJ Cruiser variants sold in Australia. If you have any specific concerns about fitment for your particular vehicle or have made other modifications to your suspension system, our team can verify compatibility before you order.
The actual lift height achieved depends on the spring rate you select and the constant accessory load fitted to your Toyota FJ Cruiser. Typically, these Toughdog front coil springs provide between 25mm and 50mm of increased ride height compared to factory springs when matched to the appropriate constant load. Vehicles with heavier front-end accessories like steel bull bars and winches will experience less lift than lightly equipped vehicles. The springs will settle slightly during the first 500 kilometres of use, so expect the final ride height to be established after the break-in period. For precise lift height estimates based on your specific accessories, contact our suspension experts.
This kit includes two Toughdog front coil springs manufactured from high-tensile spring steel with corrosion-resistant powder coating. The springs are supplied as a matched pair to ensure consistent performance and ride height on both sides of the vehicle. Spring isolators and related hardware are included where applicable depending on your vehicle configuration. Please note that shock absorbers, control arms, installation hardware such as spring compressors, and other suspension components are sold separately and are not included with this coil spring pair. If you're building a complete suspension system, we can recommend complementary components including shocks and control arms.
Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are suitable for vehicles used for towing, as they help maintain correct front-end geometry and reduce nose-dive when your FJ Cruiser is connected to a caravan or trailer. The increased spring rate options provide better support for the additional tongue weight transferred to the front axle during towing, improving steering response and stability. However, remember that spring rate selection should be based on constant accessory load only, not occasional towing loads. For comprehensive towing performance, consider pairing these front coils with appropriate rear suspension upgrades and potentially airbag suspension for the rear axle to manage variable loads effectively.
For moderate lift heights achieved with these Toughdog coil springs, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are recommended depending on your specific application and the amount of lift achieved. If your FJ Cruiser experiences 50mm or more of lift, aftermarket control arms help maintain correct suspension geometry, reduce ball joint and CV angle stress, and improve wheel alignment settings. Control arm upgrades are particularly beneficial for vehicles that see regular off-road use or carry heavy constant loads. Our suspension specialists can assess whether your specific setup would benefit from control arm upgrades based on your lift height and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing these or any coil springs on your Toyota FJ Cruiser. Changing spring height alters suspension geometry, which directly affects wheel alignment angles including camber, caster, and toe settings. Incorrect alignment causes premature and uneven tyre wear, reduced handling performance, and can make the vehicle unsafe to drive. The alignment should be performed after installation and ideally checked again after the 500-kilometre break-in period once the springs have fully settled. Any reputable workshop performing the installation will insist on alignment as part of the complete installation process.
Yes, these Toughdog coil springs are available in multiple spring rates to match different constant accessory load configurations. When ordering, you'll be asked to select a spring rate based on your current constant load — this includes only permanently fitted accessories such as bull bars, winches, dual batteries, and communication equipment that remain on the vehicle at all times. It's critical to select only the spring rate that matches your actual constant load, as choosing too heavy a rate will result in an excessively harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Our team can help calculate your constant load weight and recommend the appropriate spring rate for optimal performance and comfort.
Installing these Toughdog front coil springs will provide increased ride height that improves clearance for larger tyres, though the exact tyre size you can fit depends on multiple factors including the lift height achieved, your wheel offset, and whether you're willing to perform minor trimming. Most FJ Cruiser owners can fit tyres approximately one size larger than stock after installing lifted coil springs without significant modifications. However, front coil springs alone provide lift at the front only — you'll also need appropriate rear suspension upgrades to achieve level stance and consistent ground clearance. For specific tyre size recommendations based on your complete suspension setup, our team can provide guidance during your order.
These Toughdog front coil springs are backed by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for the warranty period specified by the manufacturer. The warranty provides peace of mind that you're purchasing a quality product backed by one of Australia's most respected suspension brands. Warranty coverage requires professional installation and proper use according to manufacturer specifications, including selecting the correct spring rate for your constant load. For complete warranty terms and conditions, or to make a warranty claim, contact our customer service team who can assist with the process.
Absolutely — when correctly matched to your constant accessory load, these Toughdog front coil springs provide excellent on-road comfort and are perfectly suitable for daily driving. Toughdog engineers their springs with progressive rate characteristics that deliver comfortable handling during normal driving while providing firm support when loaded or during off-road use. The key to achieving optimal ride quality is selecting the correct spring rate — choosing too heavy a rate will result in harsh ride, while too light a rate will cause the vehicle to sit too high and handle poorly. Many FJ Cruiser owners run Toughdog suspension as their daily driver setup, enjoying improved ground clearance and load capacity without sacrificing comfort for commuting and highway travel.
