Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving proper ride height, comfort and component longevity. Your spring choice should be based on the constant weight you carry — not occasional loads. For front springs, account for accessories like bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), heavy-duty batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and roof racks with permanent loads. For rear springs, calculate the constant weight of drawers, dual battery systems, water tanks, toolboxes, canopies, and any fixed camping gear. Occasional loads like eskies, camping gear you remove between trips, or passengers should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection — choosing springs that are too heavy will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and potential damage to bushings and shocks.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD workshop is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and maintain factory handling characteristics — suspension geometry changes significantly with lifted springs. All Toughdog components require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will bed in — final ride height should be assessed after this period. For optimal performance and extended suspension travel, consider pairing this lift kit with upgraded suspension components such as extended brake lines and differential drop kits if required for your specific lift height.

This Toughdog suspension lift kit (SKU 5044) is specifically engineered for the Great Wall Cannon (GWM Cannon) from 2020-current, covering all variants with the 2.0L turbo diesel engine. The kit is a direct bolt-on replacement for factory suspension components with no modifications required. If you have aftermarket accessories like bull bars or significant modifications, our team can confirm fitment and recommend any additional components you may need. Contact us with your build details for personalised advice.
This Toughdog lift kit typically provides 40-50mm of lift at the front and rear, depending on your current vehicle load and the spring rates you select. Actual lift height will vary based on the constant weight you carry — vehicles with heavy bull bars and accessories will sit slightly lower than unladen vehicles. Final ride height is achieved after the recommended 500km break-in period as springs settle and components bed in. The lift provides functional ground clearance improvement while maintaining factory-like handling and safety.
This kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: front strut assemblies, front raised coil springs (your choice of Comfort or Constant Load), rear leaf spring assemblies (standard or upgrade to 300kg/500kg constant load), rear shock absorbers, U-bolt kit, spring bush kit, greasable shackles, greasable pins, and centre bearing spacers. All hardware for installation is included. The only additional items you may need are extended brake lines depending on your specific setup, and professional installation with wheel alignment is required.
Yes, this Toughdog lift kit significantly improves towing capability and stability for the Great Wall Cannon. The upgraded rear leaf springs (especially when selecting the 300kg or 500kg constant load option) dramatically reduce rear-end sag when towing, maintaining proper vehicle geometry and headlight aim. The matched shock absorbers control body roll and bounce, improving safety and driver confidence when towing caravans, camper trailers or work trailers. For maximum versatility, many customers add airbag suspension to fine-tune load support for varying trailer weights.
For the 40-50mm lift provided by this kit, upgraded control arms are generally not required for the Great Wall Cannon — the factory control arms can typically accommodate this lift height while maintaining acceptable suspension geometry. However, if you're planning to fit larger tyres (33 inches or above) or want to maximise suspension articulation for serious off-road use, aftermarket control arms may be beneficial. Our team can assess your specific build requirements and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your application during your consultation.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this lift kit. Changing your suspension height alters critical alignment angles including caster, camber and toe — failing to correct these will result in rapid tyre wear, poor handling, and potential safety issues. Your alignment technician should have experience with lifted 4WDs and understand the Great Wall Cannon's specifications. The alignment should be performed after installation and rechecked after the 500km break-in period once components have fully settled.
Yes, this kit allows you to select spring rates independently for front and rear based on your specific load requirements. For the front, choose between Comfort (minimal accessories) or Constant Load (bull bar, winch, heavy accessories). For the rear, select standard leaf springs, or upgrade to constant 300kg or 500kg load rating based on your permanent cargo weight. It's critical to select spring rates based only on constant weight you carry — selecting springs that are too heavy for occasional loads will result in a harsh ride and potential component damage.
This 40-50mm lift typically allows you to fit tyres up to 265/70R17 or 265/75R16 (approximately 31-32 inches) without rubbing during normal driving and moderate articulation. Larger tyres may require minor trimming of plastic guards or aftermarket wheel arch flares. The final tyre clearance depends on your wheel offset, driving style, and whether you've added other modifications like diff drops or upper control arms. We recommend test-fitting your chosen tyre size with full steering lock and suspension compression before committing to purchase.
Toughdog suspension components are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by component type — shock absorbers typically carry a 12-month warranty while springs and hardware have extended coverage. The warranty is valid when the kit is professionally installed, used within load ratings, and maintained according to Toughdog's specifications. Keep your proof of purchase and installation records, and ensure your installer torques all components to specification and performs the required alignment.
Absolutely — this Toughdog lift kit is engineered to maintain excellent on-road comfort and handling while providing enhanced off-road capability. Unlike budget lifts that sacrifice ride quality, Toughdog's progressive spring rates and precisely tuned shock valving deliver a comfortable, controlled ride on sealed roads, highways, and during daily commuting. The kit actually improves highway stability when loaded or towing compared to worn factory suspension. When you select the correct spring rates for your constant load, you'll enjoy a ride quality that's equal to or better than factory while gaining the ground clearance and capability you need for weekend adventures.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Work
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my Cannon for six months now, including a Cape York trip and multiple runs out to the Simpson. The complete setup transformed how the truck handles corrugations and washouts – ride quality is leagues ahead of stock, even when loaded to the gills with fuel, water and recovery gear. Fitment was spot-on with no dramas during installation, and it's holding up brilliantly to the punishment of remote track work.(5)

Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to our Cannon before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is actually better than stock, which the wife really appreciated on the corrugated tracks, and we're sitting level now with the camper trailer and rooftop tent loaded up. Couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the truck for our weekend adventures.(5)

Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my Cannon for six months now, including a rough trip through the Canning Stock Route, and it's handled everything I've thrown at it. The ride quality loaded up with gear and water is miles better than stock, and the extra clearance has already saved my diff more than once. Fitment was spot-on with all the hardware included, which made the install straightforward for my local mechanic.(5)
