Pick your front spring rate based on the weight of any bullbar, winch or driving lights fitted permanently to the vehicle. Rear spring rate should reflect what you carry day-to-day — think caravan tow ball weight, dual battery setups, drawers or a canopy. Going too stiff without the matching load sits the vehicle high and unloaded, while too soft under a heavy bullbar sags the front and throws out headlight alignment.
This kit suits an experienced DIY installer with basic hand tools and a spring compressor, though most owners have it professionally fitted in a few hours. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct castor and camber at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling period before final alignment for the springs to seat properly. If you're running the vehicle loaded or lifted higher, consider pairing this kit with control arm upgrades to correct rear axle geometry and driveline angles.
Toughdog has built its name on Australian-tested 4WD suspension, tuning shock valving and spring rates for local roads rather than relying on generic overseas settings. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team for the WG/WJ platform specifically. Tourers and tradespeople running Grand Cherokees across Australia rely on the brand for a setup that holds up under real load — view the full Toughdog range for other vehicle applications.
This kit suits Grand Cherokee WG/WJ owners fitting a front bullbar and winch, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment, and tourers wanting extra clearance for unsealed roads and light off-road tracks. If you're regularly carrying near-constant heavy loads such as a caravan or camper trailer, also look at our airbag suspension options to support variable payloads on top of this kit.

Yes, this Toughdog kit is built specifically for the Jeep Grand Cherokee WG and WJ built between 1999 and 2004, covering 4.0L petrol, 4.7L V8 and 2.7L CRD variants. The shocks and coil springs are matched to this platform's mounting points and suspension geometry. If you're unsure which series your vehicle is, our suspension team can confirm fitment from your rego or VIN. Use the parts finder for your Grand Cherokee to cross-check compatible components.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear over standard ride height. The raised coil springs work together with nitro gas shocks valved for the new height, so you get the extra clearance without a harsh, over-sprung feel. Actual ride height gained can vary slightly depending on the spring rate selected and vehicle load. Front and rear lift is matched in this kit, so there's no front-to-rear rake to correct.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes two front and two rear Toughdog nitro gas shock absorbers, plus two front and two rear raised coil springs in the spring rate you select at checkout. Mounting hardware and bump stop spacers are included where required for the WG/WJ chassis. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need them. Full fitting instructions are supplied with every kit.
Yes, provided you select a rear spring rate matched to your tow ball weight and any dual battery or drawer system fitted. The nitro gas shocks help control body movement under load, particularly over corrugations while towing. If you're regularly at or near max tow ball weight, talk to our team about the heavier rear spring option or an airbag suspension add-on for variable loads. Running too soft a spring under constant tow weight will sag the rear and affect handling.
At a 2" lift, many WG/WJ owners run standard control arms without issue, but correcting rear axle geometry and driveshaft angle becomes more important as load and lift increase. Upgraded control arms help maintain correct caster and reduce driveline vibration at the raised height. We recommend having your alignment technician check geometry after fitting to see if adjustable arms are needed for your specific setup. It's not mandatory with this kit, but it's worth assessing during installation.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes castor and camber angles, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and keeps steering feel consistent. We recommend allowing a 500km settling period for the springs to seat before the final alignment. Skipping alignment after a lift kit install is one of the most common causes of premature tyre wear.
Yes, front and rear spring rates are selectable to suit your constant accessory load, whether that's a bullbar and winch up front or drawers and a canopy out back. Choosing the right rate keeps the vehicle sitting level and avoids sagging under permanent weight. Our team can help you match spring rate to your specific accessory list before you order. This is one of the main reasons to buy a dedicated kit rather than a generic set of coils.
A 2" lift on the WG/WJ typically opens up clearance for a moderately larger tyre than factory, though exact sizing depends on your wheel offset and whether you've trimmed guards. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any clearance issues specific to your wheel and tyre combination. Running oversized tyres without checking clearance can cause rubbing on lock or during suspension travel.
This Toughdog kit is backed by the manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs. We handle warranty claims through our Australian-based team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier directly. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim. Contact us if you have any issue with the kit after fitting and we'll guide you through the process.
Yes, when the spring rate is matched to your actual vehicle load, this kit is built for everyday driving as well as touring and off-road use. The nitro gas shocks are tuned to balance on-road comfort with the extra travel and clearance from the 2" lift. Owners running this kit as a daily driver with occasional touring report a comfortable ride when spring rate selection matches their typical load. Selecting an overly stiff spring rate for a lightly accessorised vehicle is the main cause of a harsh daily ride.
