This Toughdog kit is built specifically for coil-sprung Mitsubishi Pajero models (NH-NL series, 1991-2000) that run front torsion bars and rear coil springs, not the earlier leaf-spring NA-NG Pajeros. It combines HD front torsion bars with 2" raised rear coil springs and a full set of heavy-duty shock absorbers to deliver a 2" lift front and rear with a firmer, higher load-carrying rear end. That's genuine ground clearance for tracks and driveways, plus a rear spring rate suited to touring gear and roof-top tents. Dispatched from Australian stock with Toughdog's manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choose your rear coil spring rate based on what stays fitted to the Pajero day to day, not just what you carry occasionally. A bullbar, winch, second battery and roof-top tent add constant front and rear load that softer factory-style springs weren't rated for. Common accessories to account for include bullbars, winches, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, fridge slides and roof racks with a tent — tell our team what you're running and we'll confirm the right spring for your setup.
This kit involves torsion bar re-indexing and coil spring replacement, so we recommend fitment by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with the right tools. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct castor and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the new springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning torsion bar preload. If you're correcting geometry further at this lift height, pair the kit with control arm upgrades.
Toughdog has built shock absorbers and springs for Australian conditions for over three decades, with local engineering input into ride height, spring rate and damping tune. Kits are backed by a manufacturer warranty and are fitted daily across the country by 4WD workshops and DIY tourers alike. See the full Toughdog range for matching parts across your Pajero.
This kit suits Pajero owners who tour with a loaded rear end, tow a camper or box trailer, or want extra clearance for gravel roads and tracks without changing the daily drive character. Tradies using the Pajero as a support vehicle benefit from the raised rear coils under constant tool and equipment weight. If you're carrying variable loads regularly, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height on the fly.

This Toughdog kit is built for coil-sprung Pajero models across the NH, NJ, NK and NL series, 1991 to 2000. It's designed for the front torsion bar and rear coil spring layout used on these models, not the earlier leaf-spring Pajero. If you're unsure which series you have, check your build plate or use our parts finder for the Pajero. Our team can also confirm fitment from your VIN before you order.
This kit gives a 2" lift front and rear on coil-sprung Pajero models. Front lift comes from the HD torsion bars, which are indexed higher than the factory bars, while the rear lift comes from the raised coil springs. Actual ride height depends on vehicle weight and accessories fitted. Our team can talk through expected height for your specific setup.
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 x Toughdog HD front torsion bars, 2 x raised rear coil springs, and 2 x Toughdog heavy-duty shock absorbers for both the front and rear, along with the mounting hardware needed to fit them. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately. Full details are listed in the kit contents section on this page. Fitment instructions are supplied with the kit.
Yes, the raised rear coil springs in this kit are matched for a heavier constant accessory load than the factory coils, which helps support tow ball weight and rear-heavy loads. For frequent heavy towing or variable loads, pairing this kit with airbag suspension gives you adjustable extra support. Tell our team your typical tow weight and we'll confirm the spring rate is right for your combination.
At a 2" lift, factory control arms can often be retained, but geometry and CV angles are worth checking once the kit is fitted and aligned. Upgraded control arms can improve articulation and correct alignment range if you're running larger tyres or towing regularly. Our fitment team can advise whether your specific Pajero series benefits from a control arm upgrade at this height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters castor and toe settings, and running the vehicle without a fresh alignment causes uneven tyre wear and can affect handling. Book an alignment straight after fitment, then again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs and torsion bars have settled.
Rear coil spring selection can be matched to your typical accessory load, including bullbars, winches, drawers, fridge slides and roof-top tents. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll confirm whether the standard raised coil rate suits your Pajero or if a heavier option is available. Getting the spring rate right avoids a sagging rear end or an overly stiff ride.
A 2" lift typically creates extra clearance for a modest tyre size increase, though the actual limit depends on your wheel offset, track width and whether flares or trimming are needed. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on rubbing points specific to the Pajero series you own. Wheel alignment settings should also be rechecked once larger tyres are fitted.
This kit is backed by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty, covering manufacturing defects in the shocks, torsion bars and springs. Warranty terms are handled through our Australian-based team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue arises. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed to hold a comfortable ride for daily driving while still improving ground clearance and load capacity for touring. The heavy-duty shocks are tuned to control the extra spring travel without producing a harsh ride on sealed roads. Many Pajero owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both commuting and weekend touring.
