Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance, comfort and component longevity. Your spring choice should be based on the constant load your vehicle carries — this means accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your T60, not occasional loads like passengers or camping gear you add for specific trips.
Front Load Considerations: Bullbar weight (steel vs aluminium), winch and accessories, driving lights, heavy-duty battery systems, roof racks and roof-mounted lighting. A steel bullbar with winch typically requires medium to constant load front springs.
Rear Load Considerations: Canopy or tub liner weight, drawer systems and storage solutions, dual battery and electrical systems, roof-top tent weight, rear bar and tow hitch, water tanks and long-range fuel tanks. Calculate your total rear accessory weight to select between 0-300kg, constant 300kg or 500kg leaf springs.
Important: Selecting springs too heavy for your actual load will result in an excessively firm ride and potential damage to other suspension components. When in doubt, consult our team with your accessory list for expert spring rate advice.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this comprehensive lift kit. Installation typically takes 4-6 hours and requires proper lifting equipment, spring compressors, torque specifications and suspension geometry knowledge. While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools can complete the installation, this is not a driveway job for beginners.
Wheel alignment is mandatory following installation to ensure correct steering geometry, even tyre wear and optimal handling characteristics. A full four-wheel alignment should be performed once the vehicle has settled under normal load.
Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed-in before final ride height assessment. During this period, you may notice the ride height gradually settling 10-15mm as components mate and polyurethane bushes seat properly.
Depending on your lift height and intended use, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms or heavy-duty steering dampers for maximum performance and geometry correction.

Yes, this Toughdog suspension lift kit is specifically engineered to fit all LDV T60 dual cab 4WD models from 2017-current, including the updated T60 Max variants from 2021 onwards. The kit is designed around the T60's unique suspension geometry and mounting points for precise fitment. If you have a specific variant or have made modifications to your vehicle, we recommend using our parts finder tool or contacting our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This Toughdog kit provides approximately 35-50mm of lift at the front and 40-50mm at the rear, depending on your chosen spring rates and vehicle's accessory load. The actual lift height will vary based on the constant weight you're carrying — heavier accessories will compress springs more, resulting in slightly less lift than a lightly loaded vehicle. Front lift comes from the raised coil springs working with the strut assemblies, while rear lift is achieved through the heavy-duty leaf spring packs. Final ride height settles after the initial 500km break-in period as components bed in under your specific load configuration.
This is a comprehensive kit including front struts, front raised coil springs (your choice of comfort, medium or constant load rating), rear leaf springs (choice of 0-300kg, constant 300kg or 500kg rating), rear shock absorbers, rear spring U-bolt kit with all hardware, and rear spring bush kit with premium polyurethane bushes. Everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade is included except for basic installation consumables like threadlocker. Unlike some budget kits that only address one end of the vehicle, this Toughdog package delivers a balanced upgrade across the entire suspension system for optimal performance and handling.
Absolutely — this kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the heavy-duty rear leaf springs available in constant 300kg and 500kg load ratings. The upgraded leaf springs significantly improve rear-end stability under tow ball weight, while the gas-charged shocks resist fade during extended highway towing. For maximum towing performance, select rear springs matched to your typical tow ball load and consider the constant 300kg or 500kg option if you regularly tow caravans over 2000kg ATM. Many T60 owners who tow also add airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling and fine-tuning capability when switching between loaded and unloaded conditions.
For the lift height provided by this Toughdog kit (approximately 40-50mm), upgraded control arms are not mandatory but can be beneficial depending on your usage. The modest lift height keeps suspension geometry within acceptable ranges for most applications. However, if you're planning aggressive off-road use, want to maximize wheel travel, or are experiencing any steering or handling issues post-installation, aftermarket adjustable upper control arms can help correct castor angles and improve front-end geometry. Our team can assess your specific requirements and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular setup and driving style.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit, including this Toughdog system for the T60. Raising the vehicle's ride height alters suspension geometry, affecting camber, castor and toe angles — if left uncorrected, this results in uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics and potentially unsafe steering response. The alignment should be performed after installation is complete and the vehicle has been driven approximately 50-100km to allow components to settle initially. Make sure your alignment technician is experienced with lifted 4WDs and understands the specific requirements for post-lift geometry correction to achieve optimal results.
Spring rate selection should be based on your vehicle's constant load — accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your T60, not occasional cargo or passengers. For the front, consider bullbar type and weight (steel vs aluminium), winch, heavy-duty battery systems and roof racks; a steel bullbar with winch typically needs medium to constant load springs. For the rear, calculate canopy weight, drawer systems, dual batteries, roof-top tent, rear bar and any permanently mounted water or fuel tanks. Select springs that support your constant accessory weight: comfort for minimal load, medium for moderate accessories, constant load for heavy permanent equipment, and rear leaf springs based on actual measured rear accessory weight. When in doubt, contact our team with your accessory list for expert recommendations — selecting springs too heavy for your actual load results in harsh ride quality.
Yes, the additional ride height from this Toughdog lift kit creates clearance for larger diameter and wider tyres compared to the factory suspension setup. Most T60 owners can comfortably fit 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (depending on wheel size) with this lift without rubbing issues, representing a noticeable increase over stock tyre dimensions. However, the exact tyre size you can fit depends on several factors including wheel offset, tyre brand and tread pattern (some brands run larger than others), and whether you've fitted wider wheel arches or flares. For specific tyre fitment advice based on your wheel specifications and any body modifications, we recommend consulting with an experienced 4WD tyre specialist or contacting our team who can draw on extensive T60 experience from customer installations.
Toughdog provides comprehensive warranty coverage on all components in this lift kit, reflecting the brand's confidence in their engineering and manufacturing quality. Specific warranty periods vary by component type — shock absorbers and struts typically carry warranty coverage while springs are covered under separate terms. All warranty claims are handled directly through Toughdog's Australian warranty department, ensuring local support without international shipping hassles. To maintain warranty validity, the kit must be installed by a qualified technician following Toughdog's installation guidelines, and you should retain proof of purchase and installation records. For detailed warranty terms specific to each component in this kit, please refer to the Toughdog warranty documentation included with your order or contact our team for clarification.
Yes, when correctly matched to your vehicle's load through proper spring rate selection, this Toughdog kit delivers excellent daily driving comfort alongside its heavy-duty capability. Toughdog's progressive spring rates and quality shock valving provide a comfortable on-road ride that's actually often superior to worn factory suspension, while still offering the load capacity and durability needed for work and touring duties. The key to comfort is selecting spring rates appropriate for your constant accessory load — springs that are too soft will sag and bottom out, while springs too firm for your load will ride harshly. Most T60 owners with typical accessories (bullbar, canopy, basic drawers) find the medium front springs and 0-300kg or constant 300kg rear springs deliver an ideal balance of comfort and capability for both daily commuting and weekend adventures.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Finally got the Toughdog lift kit fitted to our T60 and couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the whole setup. We've done three camping trips since the install, including some pretty rough tracks in the High Country, and the ride quality is noticeably better than the factory suspension even when loaded up with all the family gear. The extra clearance has given me so much more confidence on rocky creek crossings and the fitment was spot-on according to our mechanic.(5)
Perfect Setup for Our Touring Lifestyle
After 18 months of full-time touring around Australia with a fully loaded T60, this Toughdog lift kit has been absolutely brilliant. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated outback tracks, and we're no longer bottoming out with our camper and water tanks loaded up. Installation was straightforward with all the hardware included, and the adjustable spring rates meant we could tune it perfectly for our heavy touring setup.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Just finished installing this Toughdog lift kit on our T60 and couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the ute for our monthly camping trips down the coast and up through the High Country. The ride quality is noticeably better even when loaded up with the camper, kids' bikes, and all our gear. Everything fitted perfectly and the included hardware made the job straightforward. Well worth the investment for anyone serious about getting off the beaten track with the family.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for My Work T60
Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to my T60 about three months back and it's been brilliant for carting tools and materials around work sites. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock even when loaded up, and it handles the occasional beach or dirt track run on weekends without any dramas. Installation was straightforward enough and everything lined up properly, which isn't always a given with some kits I've used before.(5)
Proper Gear for Serious Remote Work
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my T60 through the Simpson Desert and Cape York tracks for the past six months and it's handled everything I've thrown at it. The adjustable spring rates let me dial it in perfectly for my drawer system and long-range fuel setup without compromising ride quality on corrugations. Fitment was spot-on with all the hardware included, and the rear leaf springs have completely sorted the sagging issue these utes are known for when loaded up.(5)
