Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and component longevity. Choose your spring rate based on constant accessory weight only — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle when unloaded. Do not factor in occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear, or water tanks, as this will result in an overly harsh ride and potential damage to suspension components.
Common Front Accessories: Steel bull bar (30-50kg), winch (30-40kg), driving lights (5-10kg), steel bash plates (10-20kg), dual battery systems (15-25kg)
Common Rear Accessories: Rear steel bar (30-50kg), dual spare wheel carriers (40-60kg), long range fuel tanks (40kg empty), drawer systems (50-80kg), canopy or hard lid (60-100kg), rear air compressor and dual battery (20-30kg)
For best results, calculate your total constant accessory weight and select the spring rated for that load range. If your Prado regularly tows but is lightly accessorised, consider constant load rear springs to eliminate tow ball weight squat, and pair with airbag suspension for variable load adjustment.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. Experienced DIY installers with proper tools and workshop facilities can complete installation, but must follow all manufacturer torque settings and safety procedures. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any lift kit to prevent premature tyre wear and maintain steering accuracy — budget $150-250 for a four-wheel alignment. All coil springs require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle 5-10mm as the coating beds in and coils compress under initial load. For Prado 150 Series models with heavy front accessory loads or those seeking maximum articulation, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct caster angle and improve wheel travel.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of proven performance across the harshest outback conditions, remote station work, and expedition touring. Every Toughdog component is engineered and tested in Australia specifically for Australian vehicles, loads, and terrain — from the corrugations of the Canning Stock Route to the beach tracks of Fraser Island. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by tradies, grey nomads, and professional tourers nationwide, the Toughdog suspension range delivers unmatched durability, comfort, and value.
This Toughdog lift kit is ideal for Prado 150 owners who tour regularly, tow caravans or camper trailers, carry heavy roof loads, or need increased ground clearance for beach driving, tracks, and station work. Tradies carrying constant tool loads, grey nomads with permanent touring setups, and families upgrading for outback adventures will all benefit from the improved load capacity, ride quality, and clearance. If you frequently vary your load or tow heavy caravans, consider adding airbag suspension to your rear setup for infinite adjustability and load leveling capability.

Yes, this Toughdog lift kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Prado 150 Series models manufactured from 2009 to 2024, covering all variants including GX, GXL, VX, Kakadu, and Altitude trims. The kit suits both petrol and diesel engines across all years of the 150 Series production run. If you have a heavily modified Prado or have previously fitted aftermarket suspension components, we recommend contacting our team to confirm compatibility and discuss any additional hardware that may be required for your specific configuration.
This Toughdog suspension kit typically provides approximately 40-50mm of lift height at both the front and rear of your Prado 150 Series, depending on your chosen spring rates and current accessory load. The actual installed height will vary based on the weight of bull bars, roof racks, winches, and other accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle. All coil springs experience 5-10mm of settling during the first 500km break-in period as the powder coating beds in and springs compress under initial load. For the most accurate lift measurement, have your vehicle measured before and after installation with all accessories fitted.
This complete kit includes your choice of either four Toughdog Foam Cell shock absorbers or four 40mm bore adjustable shocks, two raised front coil springs in your selected load rating (Comfort, Medium, or Constant Load), two raised rear coil springs in your chosen rating (0-300kg, Constant 300kg, or Constant 500kg), plus a rear sway bar spacer kit with all necessary hardware. All mounting bushings and installation hardware are included with the shock absorbers. Extended brake lines, upper control arms, diff drop kits, and wheel alignment are not included and may be required depending on your vehicle's configuration and lift height.
Absolutely — this Toughdog kit is excellent for towing applications when paired with appropriate rear spring rates. If you regularly tow caravans, camper trailers, or boats, we strongly recommend selecting the Constant 300kg or Constant 500kg rear coil springs to eliminate rear squat and maintain safe ride height under tow ball weight. The constant load springs prevent the rear suspension from compressing excessively under tow ball loads, which maintains correct headlight aim, improves stability, and reduces trailer sway. For ultimate towing versatility, many Prado owners pair this lift kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load adjustment and leveling capability.
Upper control arm upgrades are not mandatory for this lift height on the Prado 150 Series, but are highly recommended if you're carrying heavy front accessories (bull bar and winch combination) or want maximum wheel travel for serious off-road use. The factory control arms will work with this 40-50mm lift, but aftermarket extended upper control arms correct the caster angle for improved steering feel, reduce ball joint wear, and increase suspension articulation for better off-road performance. If your Prado exhibits wandering steering or accelerated tyre wear after installation, upgraded control arms will resolve these issues. Our team can recommend the best control arm options for your specific setup and driving style.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Prado 150 Series. Raising the vehicle's ride height alters all suspension geometry angles including camber, caster, and toe settings, which directly affects tyre wear, steering response, and vehicle stability. Without proper alignment, you'll experience rapid and uneven tyre wear, potential steering wander, and reduced handling safety. Budget $150-250 for a comprehensive four-wheel alignment performed by a qualified alignment specialist using laser or computer alignment equipment. The alignment should be performed after the 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled to their final height.
Yes, this Toughdog kit allows you to independently select front and rear spring rates to perfectly match your specific accessory load and usage patterns. Front springs are available in Comfort, Medium, or Constant Load ratings to accommodate varying weights of bull bars, winches, and driving lights. Rear springs come in 0-300kg variable load, Constant 300kg, or Constant 500kg ratings to suit everything from lightly accessorised touring setups to heavily loaded trade vehicles or serious caravan towers. When ordering, calculate your constant accessory weight (permanently fitted equipment only) and select the spring rate that matches that load range — do not overestimate or factor in occasional loads like passengers and camping gear, as this will result in an unnecessarily harsh ride.
This 40-50mm lift typically allows you to fit 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (approximately 31.5-32 inches) on your Prado 150 Series with minimal to no rubbing, though this depends on wheel offset and accessory fitment. Some light trimming of plastic inner guards or bumper tabs may be required at full steering lock, particularly if running wider offset wheels or wider track aftermarket control arms. For 33-inch tyres (285/70R17), you'll likely need additional modifications including body lift, guard trimming, and possibly diff drop kits to achieve full articulation without contact. Always test fit and check clearance at full lock and full compression before heading off-road. Our team can provide specific tyre fitment advice based on your wheel choice and intended use.
All Toughdog suspension components are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. The specific warranty period varies by component but typically ranges from 12 months to lifetime coverage on certain parts — contact us for exact warranty terms applicable to your kit configuration. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified mechanic, proof of purchase, and adherence to recommended service intervals and load ratings. Damage caused by overloading beyond rated capacity, racing, severe impact, or lack of maintenance is not covered. Toughdog's Australian-based warranty support ensures fast assessment and replacement of any defective components.
Yes, this Toughdog kit is specifically engineered to deliver excellent daily driving comfort while providing enhanced off-road capability and load carrying capacity. When paired with appropriate spring rates for your accessory load, the kit maintains near-factory ride quality on sealed roads and highways, with improved stability under load compared to factory suspension. The Foam Cell shock option prioritizes comfortable daily driving and touring, while the adjustable shock option allows you to fine-tune damping from soft for highway comfort to firm for heavy loads or corrugated tracks. Thousands of Prado 150 owners across Australia use Toughdog-equipped vehicles as their daily drivers while touring, towing, and commuting with complete confidence and comfort.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to our Prado 150 a few months back and it's been brilliant for our regular trips down to the South Coast and out to the high country. The kids reckon the ride is heaps smoother than before, even when we're loaded up with all the camping gear and the roof topper. Really happy with the clearance improvement too – made a noticeable difference on some of the rougher tracks we tackled last school holidays.(5)
Perfect for Daily Driving and Weekend Trips
Had this Toughdog lift kit fitted to my Prado about six months ago and it's been brilliant for carting tools and materials around during the week, then heading out to the high country on weekends. The ride quality is actually better than stock even with a full load in the tray, which surprised me. Installation was straightforward enough and everything lined up properly without any dramas.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Touring
Recently fitted this Toughdog lift kit to my 150 Prado before tackling the Simpson Desert and it's been absolutely brilliant. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, even when loaded up with full expedition gear and water. Installation was straightforward with everything fitting properly, and the height gain has given me the clearance needed for serious corrugations and creek crossings. Genuinely impressed with how well it handles both on-road highway driving and technical desert tracks.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on our Prado 150 for about six months now and it's made a real difference on our monthly camping trips down the coast and out to the high country. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family gear. Installation was straightforward and the fitment was spot-on, which saved us time and hassle at the workshop.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to our Prado 150 before our trip through the High Country and it's transformed the way the wagon handles both on corrugated tracks and when we're loaded up with camping gear. The ride quality is surprisingly comfortable even with the kids in the back, and we've gained the extra clearance needed for those deeper ruts without the harshness you sometimes get with budget kits. Really happy with how it's performing after a few months of regular weekend trips.(5)
