The Toughdog Lift Kit for the Volkswagen Amarok (2010-ON) delivers a 2" lift front and rear using 41mm foam cell or 40mm adjustable shocks paired with raised coil springs and heavy-duty leaf springs rated to 300kg constant load. This combination raises ride height for larger tyres and lifts payload capacity for canopies, tool boxes and touring gear without turning the ride harsh.

Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on what stays fitted to the tray day to day, not just what you carry occasionally. A canopy, drawer system, water tank, dual battery setup and toolboxes all add constant weight that the 300kg-rated leaf spring is designed to carry evenly. If your accessory load is lighter, tell our team before ordering so the kit isn't over-sprung and the ride doesn't get bouncy unladen.
Fitting this kit involves spring, shock and shackle replacement front and rear, which we recommend as a workshop job or an experienced DIY install with a hoist and proper spring compressors. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for leaf springs and bushes to settle before final alignment. For sharper steering response at the new height, pair the kit with upgraded control arms.
Toughdog has built 4WD suspension for the Australian market for over two decades, with foam cell shock technology developed specifically for local gravel, corrugated and outback conditions. Every kit carries a full manufacturer warranty and is dispatched from Australian stock, backed by our team's fitment guidance. See the Toughdog suspension range for other lift and load options across the Amarok lineup.
This kit suits Amarok owners running a canopy or tray for trade work, and tourers carrying camping gear, water and recovery equipment for extended trips. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, an airbag suspension setup added to the rear leaf springs can give you adjustable support for both loaded and unloaded running.

This Toughdog kit is built for the Volkswagen Amarok 2H series from 2010 onward, covering both the 2.0L TDI and 3.0L V6 TDI engines. It suits dual cab and single cab configurations fitted with factory leaf spring rear suspension. If you're unsure which series or build date you have, our team can confirm fitment before you order using your VIN or compliance plate details.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear using raised coil springs up front and leaf springs at the rear. That's enough to clear a 33-inch tyre on most Amarok setups without major rubbing. Actual clearance depends on wheel offset and tyre width, so check with our team if you're running a wider wheel and tyre package.
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 front and rear shock absorbers (41mm foam cell or 40mm adjustable), raised front coil springs, rear leaf springs rated to 300kg constant load, plus U-bolts, shackles, bushes and fitting hardware. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if needed. A full component breakdown is listed in the Kit Includes section above.
Yes, the rear leaf springs are rated to 300kg constant load, which covers a laden canopy, drawers and touring gear plus tow ball download from a light-to-mid weight trailer or caravan. For heavier constant tow ball loads, ask our team about a higher-rated leaf spring option before ordering. Matching spring rate to your actual towing setup avoids rear-end sag.
Control arms aren't included in this kit and aren't mandatory for the 2" lift height, but they help correct front geometry and CV angle at the new ride height. Upgraded control arms reduce strain on ball joints and improve steering feel once the vehicle is lifted. See our control arm range if you want to pair this kit with a full geometry correction.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Camber, caster and toe all shift once ride height changes, and skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and vague steering. We recommend aligning the vehicle after the 500km bed-in period once springs and bushes have settled into their new position.
Yes, Toughdog offers this Amarok kit with different rear leaf spring load ratings depending on your constant accessory load. This kit is specified at 300kg constant load, suited to a canopy and moderate touring gear. If you're running heavier constant loads, contact our team before ordering so we can recommend the correct rate.
The 2" lift typically clears up to a 33-inch tyre on most Amarok wheel and offset combinations without rubbing. Wider tyres or aggressive offsets may need additional clearance work such as flares or trimming. Send us your exact tyre and wheel size and we'll confirm clearance before you commit.
This kit is covered by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty, which applies to the shocks and springs supplied in the kit. Warranty terms are handled directly through us as your Australian supplier, so you're not dealing with an overseas claims process. Contact our team if you need the specific warranty period confirmed for your components.
Yes, the foam cell shock option is tuned for a comfortable daily ride while still handling load and rough roads, making it a common choice for Amarok owners who drive the vehicle for work during the week and touring on weekends. If you want to fine-tune damping for different loads, the 40mm adjustable shock option gives you that flexibility. Either way, the kit is set up to work unladen and loaded, not just at maximum payload.
