The Toughdog Lift Kit for the Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-on) delivers a 2" lift with raised coil springs front and rear, paired with your choice of Foam Cell or adjustable shock absorbers. Foam cell technology separates oil and gas internally to cut aeration and heat fade on corrugated tracks, while the raised springs restore factory-like ride quality with extra clearance for larger tyres.

Choose your spring rate based on the gear you carry constantly, not just what you load occasionally. Front-end accessories such as a steel bull bar, winch or bash plate add constant weight, so a firmer front coil helps stop the nose sagging under that load. Rear-end constant loads — dual batteries, drawers, a long-range fuel tank, rooftop tent or steady tow ball download — call for a firmer rear spring to keep the Wrangler sitting level front to rear.
This kit should be fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with a hoist, spring compressors and a torque wrench. A wheel alignment is mandatory once the vehicle is sitting at its new ride height, since camber and caster both shift with a 2" lift. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs to settle and the shocks to reach their normal damping feel before fine-tuning tyre pressures. For correct geometry at this lift height, we recommend pairing this kit with control arm upgrades suited to the JL.
Toughdog builds its suspension around Australian-tuned valving, set up for local corrugations, heat and load conditions rather than a generic overseas calibration. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported locally by our team, who can help confirm shock type and spring rate for your Wrangler's accessory load. Tradespeople, tourers and everyday JL owners across Australia run Toughdog gear — view the full Toughdog range to compare shock and spring options.
This kit suits JL Wrangler owners fitting a bull bar, winch and drawers for remote touring, or running a rooftop tent and fridge slide on weekend trips. It also suits tradies carrying tools and gear in the cargo area who need the rear to sit level instead of sagging. If your tow ball weight or payload changes trip to trip, talk to us about airbag suspension to complement this kit.
This Toughdog lift kit is in stock at our Australian warehouse for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment for your JL before you order. Browse our full lift kit range or get in touch if you need help choosing between Foam Cell and adjustable shocks.

Yes, this Toughdog kit is designed for the JL-series Wrangler built from August 2018 onwards, covering both 2-door and 4-door body styles. It suits the 3.6L Pentastar V6 petrol, 2.0L turbo petrol and 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 variants. If you're unsure which JL you have, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN or build plate before you order. You can also check compatible parts using our Wrangler parts finder.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear using Toughdog raised coil springs. That's enough clearance to run a larger tyre and fit bigger recovery gear underneath without altering the JL's factory-like on-road stance. Front and rear lift height stays matched at 2" so the vehicle sits level once fitted correctly.
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 2 front and 2 rear Toughdog shock absorbers (Foam Cell or Adjustable, your choice), 2 front and 2 rear raised coil springs, and the mounting hardware needed to fit them. Bump stop spacers are included where the lift height requires them. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need them for this lift height.
Yes, particularly if you select the adjustable shock option, which lets you firm up rear damping to suit a loaded trailer or camper. The raised rear coil springs also help resist sag when a tow ball download is added to the JL's rear end. If your tow ball weight varies significantly trip to trip, ask our team about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for extra load support.
We recommend it at this 2" lift height, though it isn't always mandatory depending on how the vehicle is used. Upgraded control arms correct pinion and axle geometry that shifts once the JL sits higher, reducing driveline vibration and improving handling. Our team can advise whether your specific JL variant needs them based on the lift height and tyre size you're running.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Camber and caster both change once the Wrangler is sitting at its new 2" ride height, and an alignment corrects this for even tyre wear and predictable steering. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment, once the vehicle is at its settled ride height.
Toughdog offers spring options to suit different constant accessory loads on the JL, so talk to our team about what you're carrying before ordering. A front bull bar and winch, or a rear drawer system and long-range fuel tank, all justify a firmer spring rate than a lightly accessorised Wrangler. Getting the spring rate right keeps the vehicle sitting level rather than sagging at one end.
A 2" lift on the JL typically opens up clearance for a moderately larger tyre than the factory fitment, though exact sizing depends on your wheel offset and whether any minor trimming is done. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag if any additional clearance work is needed. This kit alone won't clear extreme oversized tyres without further modification.
This kit is covered by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Our team handles warranty support locally from our Australian warehouse, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue comes up. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment details on hand for any warranty claim.
Yes, the progressive-rate coil springs are designed to hold a factory-like ride quality when the JL is unladen, so it doesn't feel harsh around town. Foam Cell shocks are the more comfort-oriented option for daily driving, while the adjustable shocks let you dial in a firmer setting for touring and soften it back off for the daily commute. Either option is a genuine daily-driver setup, not a track-only kit.
