Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality. Your spring rate must be selected based on your vehicle's constant accessory load — the combined weight of accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle at all times. Common front-end accessories include steel or aluminium bullbars (20-40kg), winches (30-50kg), heavy-duty batteries and dual battery systems (10-30kg), steel replacement bumpers, driving lights, UHF aerials, and roof racks with permanently mounted accessories. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or items carried only during specific trips should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection. Rear accessories affecting overall vehicle balance include steel trays, canopies, drawers systems, long-range fuel tanks, and rear bar accessories.
Critical: Over-springing your vehicle by selecting too heavy a spring rate will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction on corrugations, accelerated wear on shock absorbers and other suspension components, and potential damage to chassis mounting points. Always select spring rate based on actual measured constant load, not anticipated future accessories.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for coil spring replacement, as specialised spring compressors and safety equipment are required. DIY installation is possible for experienced home mechanics with proper tools and safety knowledge. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore factory geometry and ensure even tyre wear, optimal steering response, and safe handling characteristics. All new coil springs require a 500km break-in period during which the springs will settle into their final ride height — avoid harsh off-road driving during this initial period.
For vehicles with significant lift or heavy accessory loads, consider pairing these front coil springs with upgraded control arms to maintain proper ball joint angles, correct castor settings, and maximise suspension travel without binding or excessive wear.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as one of Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brands through decades of real-world testing across the harshest terrain our continent has to offer.

Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of experienced fitment centres, Toughdog delivers proven performance trusted by everyone from weekend adventurers to commercial operators. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for matched system components.
These front coil springs are ideal for Toyota Hilux N70 owners who have added accessories and need to restore or improve front-end ride height and load capacity. Perfect for tradies running bullbars and winches, touring enthusiasts with heavy-duty recovery gear, and anyone who's noticed front-end sag from accessory weight. Whether you're building a capable weekend tourer or maintaining a hard-working commercial vehicle, correct spring selection ensures optimal performance without compromising daily drivability.

These Toughdog front coil springs are engineered specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 series spanning 2005 to 2015 model years, covering all variants including SR, SR5, and Workmate models with both petrol and diesel engines. They are direct OEM replacements designed to bolt into factory mounting points without modification. To confirm exact fitment for your specific build date and variant, use our parts finder tool or contact our team with your VIN number. These springs are designed for IFS (Independent Front Suspension) Hilux models only.
Lift height achieved with these Toughdog front coil springs varies between 25-50mm depending on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's constant accessory load. A lightly equipped Hilux with minimal accessories will achieve maximum lift, while vehicles carrying heavier bullbars, winches and other front-end weight will settle lower as the springs compress to support the load. The primary purpose of these springs is to restore or improve ride height while properly supporting your specific accessory configuration, not simply to achieve maximum lift. Correct spring rate selection based on actual constant load ensures you achieve optimal ride height without over-springing.
This kit includes a pair (2 springs) of Toughdog heavy-duty front coil springs engineered specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70. The springs feature progressive rate design, premium alloy steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating, and are supplied with installation instructions and spring rate selection guidance. Please note that shock absorbers, spring isolators, control arms, and other suspension components are sold separately and should be inspected during installation. For a complete front-end suspension upgrade, consider pairing these springs with matched Toughdog shock absorbers for optimal performance.
Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are suitable for vehicles used for towing when correctly matched to your constant front-end accessory load. Proper spring selection maintains correct ride height and suspension geometry under the additional nose weight imposed by towing, improving stability, steering response and braking performance. However, it's important to note that towing loads should not be considered when selecting your front spring rate — only constant accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle. For optimal towing performance, these front springs should be paired with appropriately rated rear leaf springs or airbag suspension to handle rear payload and towball weight.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory when installing these Toughdog coil springs if you're achieving modest lift (25-40mm) with factory-equivalent geometry. However, for vehicles running heavier spring rates with 40mm+ lift, or those with significant accessory weight, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to maintain proper ball joint angles and correct castor settings. Aftermarket control arms also provide increased suspension travel and improved off-road articulation. Your installer should assess ball joint angles during fitment and recommend control arm upgrades if geometry falls outside acceptable parameters. Most Hilux N70 owners find these springs work perfectly with factory control arms when correctly rated.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any coil springs, including these Toughdog front springs for the Hilux N70. Changing ride height alters suspension geometry, affecting toe, camber and castor settings which directly impact tyre wear, steering response, and vehicle safety. A qualified 4WD suspension specialist should perform a full four-wheel alignment to manufacturer specifications after installation and the initial 500km settling period. Skipping alignment will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potentially unsafe steering behaviour. Budget for professional alignment as part of your total installation cost.
Selecting the correct spring rate requires calculating your vehicle's constant accessory load — the total weight of all accessories permanently fitted to the front of your Hilux. This includes bullbars (20-40kg), winches (30-50kg), heavy-duty batteries, driving lights, and any other permanently mounted equipment. Weigh or estimate each accessory, add them together, and select the spring rate that matches your total constant front-end weight. Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or items only carried during specific trips. When ordering, you'll be prompted to select your spring rate — if unsure, our team can help you calculate your exact requirements. Over-springing causes harsh ride; under-springing causes sag and poor handling.
These Toughdog front coil springs providing 25-50mm of lift will typically allow you to fit tyres up to 32 inches in diameter on the Hilux N70 without additional modifications, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and specific suspension configuration. At full compression and steering lock, you may experience minor rubbing on the inner guards or lower control arms with maximum-size tyres, particularly on SR5 models with factory flares. For 33-inch tyres or larger, additional modifications such as guard trimming, body lifts, or diff drops may be required. Test fit your desired tyre size and check clearance at full steering lock and compression before committing to purchase.
These Toughdog front coil springs are covered by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty duration varies by component type and application — contact us for exact warranty terms applicable to your purchase. Warranty coverage requires proper installation by a qualified technician, correct spring rate selection for your vehicle's actual load, and normal use within the product's design parameters. Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, modification, accident damage, or wear from normal use. Retain your proof of purchase and installation documentation for any warranty claims.
Absolutely — when correctly matched to your vehicle's constant accessory load, these Toughdog front coil springs deliver excellent on-road ride quality and handling for daily driving, commuting, and highway touring. The progressive rate design ensures comfortable compliance over bumps and road imperfections when lightly loaded, with progressively firmer support as load increases. Unlike harsh constant-rate springs, properly selected Toughdog coils maintain the Hilux N70's factory ride characteristics while accommodating additional weight and providing improved load capacity. The key to excellent daily drivability is honest spring rate selection based on actual constant load — avoid over-springing for anticipated future accessories you may never fit.
