Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and vehicle performance. Choose your spring rate based on constant accessory load only—the weight permanently installed in or on your Pajero. Common constant rear accessories include dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, rear drawers, fridge slides, roof racks with awnings, rear bars with tire carriers, and permanently mounted water tanks. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or intermittent towing—this will result in over-sprung suspension, harsh ride quality, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you regularly tow caravans or trailers, consider pairing these springs with airbag suspension systems for adjustable load support without compromising unladen comfort.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced 4WD workshop is strongly recommended for coil spring replacement. Installation requires spring compressors, appropriate safety equipment, and knowledge of suspension geometry. A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings—preventing premature tire wear and maintaining safe handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle to their final ride height, after which a recheck of alignment and ride height is advisable. When upgrading rear springs on older Pajeros, inspect shock absorbers, suspension bushings, and mounting hardware for wear—replacing worn components ensures your new springs perform optimally.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of outback testing, mining industry use, and real-world touring validation.

Whether you're a tradie carrying tools daily or a grey nomad towing around the country, the full Toughdog suspension range delivers proven reliability you can trust.
These Toughdog rear coil springs are ideal for Pajero owners who've added permanent accessories and need to restore proper ride height and handling, tradespeople carrying constant tool loads, touring families with permanent drawer systems and dual batteries, and caravan towers seeking improved rear stability. If your Pajero sits noticeably lower at the rear or exhibits excessive squat when loaded, these springs restore factory geometry and improve safety. For those who occasionally tow heavy trailers but want to maintain comfortable unladen ride, consider supplementing these springs with an airbag suspension kit for on-demand load support without over-springing.

These Toughdog rear coil springs are specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Pajero models from 2000 onwards, including NM, NP, NS, NT, NW, and NX series up to 2021. They fit all variants including GLX, GLS, Exceed, and Platinum models with factory coil spring rear suspension. To confirm exact fitment for your specific year and variant, use our online parts finder or contact our team with your VIN number. These springs are not compatible with earlier Pajero generations or models fitted with leaf spring rear suspension.
These are designed as replacement springs that maintain near-factory ride height when unladen, rather than lift springs. The actual ride height achieved depends on the spring rate you select and your constant accessory load—heavier-rated springs will restore proper height if your Pajero currently sits low due to wear or added weight. When correctly matched to your load, expect the rear to sit at or slightly above factory specifications. If you're seeking additional ground clearance for off-road use, consider a complete lift kit that includes matched front and rear components for balanced geometry.
This kit includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog heavy-duty rear coil springs engineered specifically for the Pajero NM-NX platform, complete with corrosion-resistant coating and technical specification documentation. The kit does not include spring compressors, installation hardware, shock absorbers, or suspension bushings—these components should be inspected and replaced separately if worn. Professional installation is recommended, and your mechanic will need appropriate spring compressors and safety equipment. If you're replacing multiple suspension components, consider purchasing a complete kit that includes shocks and hardware.
Yes, when you select the appropriate heavy-duty spring rate, these Toughdog coils significantly improve towing stability by reducing rear squat and maintaining proper ride height under load. However, spring rate selection should be based only on your constant accessory weight, not occasional towing loads. For optimal towing performance with excellent unladen comfort, we strongly recommend pairing these springs with an airbag suspension system—this allows you to increase support when towing without over-springing your suspension for daily driving. This combination is popular among caravan tourers who want the best of both worlds.
For a standard spring replacement that maintains factory ride height, upgraded control arms are not typically required on the Pajero. However, if you're also installing a lift kit or if your existing control arms show wear (cracked bushings, bent arms), replacement is advisable. Upgraded control arms can improve suspension articulation and correct alignment geometry, particularly beneficial for serious off-road use. During installation, your mechanic should thoroughly inspect all suspension components including control arms, radius arms, and panhard rods—replacing any worn parts ensures your new springs perform optimally and safely.
Yes, a four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing new rear coil springs on your Pajero. While rear coil replacement primarily affects ride height rather than alignment angles, any change in suspension geometry can alter toe, camber, and the relationship between front and rear suspension. Proper alignment ensures even tire wear, optimal handling, and safe vehicle dynamics. Your alignment technician should check and adjust thrust angle, toe settings, and verify that all angles are within Mitsubishi's specifications. Plan for a recheck after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled.
Absolutely—Toughdog manufactures these Pajero rear springs in multiple load ratings from light to heavy-duty, allowing you to match the spring rate precisely to your constant accessory weight. When ordering, you'll select from available ratings based on the permanent weight you carry—this includes rear drawers, dual batteries, long-range tanks, and fixed accessories. It's critical to select based only on constant load, not occasional camping gear or towing weights. Our team can help you calculate your accessory weight and recommend the optimal spring rate. Selecting too heavy a rating will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other components.
These replacement springs are designed to restore factory ride height rather than provide significant lift, so tire clearance remains similar to standard specifications. The Pajero NM-NX typically accommodates up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tires (depending on model year) without modification when at factory height. If you've installed heavier-rated springs to correct rear sag, you may regain some clearance that was previously lost. For fitting significantly larger tires, you'll need a complete suspension lift kit that raises both front and rear, combined with potential guard trimming. Our team can recommend appropriate lift kits if increased tire clearance is your goal.
Toughdog coil springs are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. The warranty period and specific terms are detailed in the documentation included with your springs—typically covering structural failure but not wear from improper installation or misuse. Warranty validity requires professional installation by a qualified mechanic and use within the spring's specified load rating. Keep your purchase receipt and installation records, as these may be required for warranty claims. As an authorized Toughdog dealer, we support all warranty processes and can assist with any issues.
Yes, when correctly matched to your constant load, these Toughdog springs provide excellent ride quality for daily commuting and highway touring. Toughdog specifically engineers their springs to balance load capacity with on-road comfort—avoiding the harsh ride associated with over-sprung suspension. The progressive spring rate design provides soft initial compression for comfortable unladen driving, with increasing resistance as load builds. Many Pajero owners use these springs for daily family transport during the week and touring on weekends. For the best daily driving experience, ensure you select the spring rate that matches your actual constant accessories—not occasional loads.
