Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and component longevity. When placing your order, choose spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — this means permanent accessories fitted to your vehicle at all times, not occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, or towing. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, long-range fuel tanks, auxiliary batteries, upgraded bumpers, and steel roof racks. Rear constant loads include rear bars, swing-away spare wheel carriers, dual battery systems, drawer systems, water tanks, and permanently fitted canopies or trays. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, fridges, swags, and towing caravans should NOT be included in your spring rate selection — these are better managed with supplementary airbag suspension systems. Over-springing your vehicle by selecting heavy-duty springs when only light loads are fitted will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and premature wear on bushings, shock mounts, and steering components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended due to the complexity of fitting remote reservoir shocks, spring replacement, and achieving correct ride height. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct castor, camber, and toe settings — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and compromised handling. All Toughdog kits require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shock valving will bed in — ride height may drop 5-10mm during this period, which is normal. For 76 Series vehicles lifted beyond 40mm or running larger tyres, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms, extended brake lines, castor-corrected radius arm bushings, and diff drop spacers to maintain factory steering geometry and CV joint angles.
Toughdog is Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brand, with over three decades of engineering excellence, outback testing, and real-world validation across millions of kilometres of Australian roads and tracks. Every Toughdog product is designed specifically for Australian conditions — from Cape York's creek crossings to the Nullarbor's endless corrugations — and backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and Australia-wide dealer support. Toughdog suspension is the choice of grey nomads, tradies, station owners, and competition off-roaders who demand uncompromising durability, comfort, and load-carrying capability. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for shocks, springs, and complete lift kits engineered to outlast and outperform the competition.
This remote reservoir adjustable lift kit is ideal for serious LandCruiser 76 owners who demand the ultimate in suspension performance and adjustability — including long-distance tourers covering thousands of kilometres annually, tradespeople carrying permanent toolboxes and equipment loads, caravan and camper trailer towers requiring maximum stability, and off-road adventurers tackling extreme terrain from desert dunes to rocky mountain trails. If you're a load-carrying tourer or tradie, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for fine-tuned load support and the ability to adjust ride height on the fly when loading or unloading heavy cargo.

This kit is specifically engineered for Toyota LandCruiser 76 Series vehicles (both Wagon and Troop Carrier variants) from 2007 to current models equipped with the 4.5L V8 turbo diesel engine. It's compatible with both standard and GXL trim levels.

You can also check the complete range of compatible parts for your 76 Series using our parts finder tool.
This kit typically provides 40-50mm of lift at both the front and rear, though exact lift height will vary based on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load. Vehicles with heavier bull bars, winches, and rear accessories may experience slightly less lift than lightly accessorised vehicles due to load compression. The lift height is optimised to provide clearance for 33-35 inch tyres while maintaining factory steering geometry and ride quality. After the initial 500km break-in period, you may experience 5-10mm of settling, which is normal as springs bed in and shock valving stabilises.
This comprehensive kit includes front shock absorbers (foam cell or nitro gas), remote reservoir adjustable rear shock absorbers, front coil springs in your selected load rating, rear leaf spring packs in your chosen rating, U-bolts, spring hardware, bushings, and detailed installation instructions. The remote reservoir rear shocks feature external reservoirs for superior heat dissipation and adjustability dials for fine-tuning compression and rebound damping. Note that some complementary components such as extended brake lines, upper control arms, diff drop spacers, and castor correction bushings are sold separately and may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and intended use.
Absolutely — this Toughdog kit is engineered specifically for heavy towing applications thanks to its heavy-duty leaf spring options and remote reservoir rear shocks that resist fade under sustained load. The adjustable rear shocks allow you to increase compression damping when towing, dramatically improving stability, reducing sway, and maintaining level ride height under tongue weight. When ordering, select spring rates based on your constant rear-end weight (canopy, drawers, spare wheels, etc.), not towing loads. For maximum towing versatility and the ability to adjust for varying loads, consider adding supplementary airbag suspension which can be inflated or deflated based on whether you're towing or running empty.
While this kit can be installed with factory control arms, upgrading to heavy-duty adjustable control arms is highly recommended if you're lifting beyond 40mm, running larger tyres, or planning serious off-road use. Upgraded control arms restore correct castor and camber angles after lifting, reduce CV joint angles to prevent premature wear, and provide additional clearance for larger tyres during full compression and articulation. They also feature heavy-duty bushings and construction that won't fatigue or tear under extreme touring or off-road conditions. Check out our range of heavy-duty control arms specifically engineered for lifted LandCruisers to complete your suspension upgrade.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit, including this Toughdog system. Lifting your LandCruiser alters suspension geometry, which affects castor, camber, and toe angles — all critical for proper steering feel, tyre wear, and vehicle stability. Driving without proper alignment after a lift will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, and potential safety issues. Your alignment should be performed by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist who understands lifted vehicle requirements. We also recommend rechecking alignment after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled to ensure all angles remain within specification.
Spring rate selection must be based solely on your constant accessory load — permanent accessories fitted to your vehicle at all times. For the front, include the weight of your bull bar, winch, long-range fuel tank, auxiliary batteries, and upgraded bumper. For the rear, include rear bar, swing-away wheel carriers, canopy or tray, drawer systems, dual batteries, and permanently mounted water tanks. Do NOT include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, fridges, or towing weight — these temporary loads should be managed with airbag suspension if needed. Over-springing by selecting a too-heavy rate will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and accelerated wear on bushings and shock mounts, while under-springing will cause sagging and bottoming out.
Yes, this 40-50mm lift provides sufficient clearance for 33-35 inch tyres (approximately 285/75R16 to 315/75R16) with minimal to no rubbing under full compression and steering lock, depending on wheel offset and tyre width. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards or mud flaps may still be required for maximum articulation, particularly if running wider tyres or aggressive tread patterns. If you're planning to run tyres larger than 35 inches, you may need additional modifications such as body lifts, diff drops, or more aggressive guard trimming. Always test-fit tyres through full suspension travel and steering lock before committing to long-distance touring or off-road trips to ensure adequate clearance in all conditions.
All Toughdog suspension components are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage that protects against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty terms vary by component — shocks typically carry a 2-3 year warranty while springs are covered for similar periods, though exact duration should be confirmed at time of purchase. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified mechanic, proper vehicle alignment after fitting, and normal use conditions. Off-road use, competition, and commercial applications are generally covered, though extreme abuse or modification of components will void warranty. Toughdog's Australia-wide dealer network ensures warranty claims can be processed quickly no matter where you're travelling across the country.
Absolutely — while this kit delivers extreme off-road capability and heavy-load performance, it's equally refined for daily driving, commuting, and highway touring. The adjustable rear shocks allow you to soften damping for empty daily driving, delivering a comfortable ride comparable to factory suspension, then firm up compression and rebound when loaded for weekend trips or off-road adventures. Toughdog's valving is specifically tuned to balance on-road comfort with off-road toughness, eliminating the harsh, jittery ride associated with many competition-oriented suspension systems. If your 76 Series serves as both your daily driver and weekend tourer, this kit offers the versatility to excel in both roles without compromise.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this ToughDog lift kit to our 76 Series before our last trip through the High Country and the difference is night and day. The remote reservoir setup keeps everything cool on the longer corrugated tracks, and the kids actually stopped complaining about the bumpy roads. Really impressed with how well it handles the extra weight when we're loaded up with camping gear and water, plus the ride quality on highway is still comfortable for those long drives to camp.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Lap of Oz
Been touring full-time for three years now and finally upgraded our 76 Series with this ToughDog remote reservoir lift kit before heading up the Canning Stock Route. The ride quality is absolutely brilliant – soaks up the corrugations beautifully while still keeping everything stable when we're loaded up with water and gear. Should've done this years ago, makes such a difference on the long remote tracks we love exploring.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Finally upgraded our 76 Series with this ToughDog remote reservoir lift kit and couldn't be happier with the results. We've done three camping trips since the install, including some pretty rough tracks through the High Country, and the ride quality is leagues ahead of the old setup – the kids actually stopped complaining about the bumps! The remote res shocks handle the weight of our roof rack, awning and camping gear without breaking a sweat. Well worth the investment for anyone doing serious touring with the family.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Been running this ToughDog lift kit on our 76 for about six months now, taking the family up to the High Country and across to the Cape. The ride quality is genuinely impressive - much more composed on corrugations than the old setup, and the kids actually sleep in the back now instead of complaining. Really happy with how it's transformed the old girl, especially considering the price point compared to some of the other options out there.(5)
