Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. When choosing your spring rate, calculate your constant load only — this means accessories and equipment fitted to your vehicle permanently, not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Common constant front loads include bull bars, winches, driving lights, long-range fuel tanks and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads typically include steel trays, canopies, dual battery systems, drawers, fridges and permanently mounted water tanks. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, tool boxes (that are removed), passengers and towing should NOT be included in your spring rate selection, as over-rating your springs will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
This complete lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate workshop equipment including spring compressors and torque wrenches. A full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installation to ensure correct castor, camber and toe settings, preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining steering precision. All Toughdog suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will bed in — avoid extreme off-road use during this initial period. For Hilux N80 models being lifted, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front suspension geometry, improve CV boot angles and maximise suspension travel and handling performance.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of real-world engineering, outback testing and unwavering commitment to quality. Every Toughdog component is designed specifically for Australian conditions — from Cape York's corrugations to the Simpson Desert's dunes — and backed by comprehensive warranty support. Trusted by tradies, grey nomads, weekend warriors and serious off-road tourers nationwide, the complete Toughdog suspension range delivers proven performance and exceptional value that keeps Australians exploring with confidence.
This premium remote reservoir lift kit is engineered for serious Toyota Hilux N80 owners who demand the absolute best in suspension performance. Perfect for tradespeople carrying heavy tools and equipment daily, grey nomad tourers covering thousands of kilometres with rooftop tents and recovery gear, and caravan towers who need consistent damping control and load stability. If you regularly carry variable loads or tow heavy trailers, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load levelling and further suspension tuning capability.

This kit is specifically engineered for Toyota Hilux N80 series vehicles from 2015 onwards, including GUN126R (2.8L diesel) and GUN125R (2.7L petrol) variants. It fits both single cab, extra cab and dual cab body styles with factory suspension. If your Hilux has been modified with aftermarket suspension components or you're unsure of your exact series code, we recommend contacting our technical team to confirm fitment before ordering. You can check your compliance plate or VIN to verify your vehicle's series designation.
This Toughdog remote reservoir kit delivers approximately 40-50mm of lift at both the front and rear of your Hilux N80, depending on your constant accessory load and selected spring rates. The actual lift height achieved will vary based on the weight of permanent accessories like bull bars, winches, canopies and drawer systems. Heavier constant loads will compress springs slightly more, resulting in lift heights at the lower end of the range. During the initial 500km break-in period, expect springs to settle by approximately 10-15mm as they bed in and reach their final ride height.
This is a comprehensive lift kit including TDR remote reservoir front struts, raised front coil springs, heavy-duty rear leaf springs, TDR remote reservoir rear shocks, complete U-bolt hardware kit, premium spring bush kit, and tailshaft spacer kit to correct driveline geometry. All necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions are included. The kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines or diff drop spacers — these are available separately if required for your specific build and should be assessed based on your final lift height and intended use.
Absolutely — the remote reservoir shock technology in this kit makes it exceptionally well-suited for towing applications. The external reservoirs significantly increase oil capacity and heat dissipation, allowing the shocks to maintain consistent damping performance even under sustained heavy loads and highway speeds. This translates to reduced caravan sway, better stability in crosswinds, and improved braking control when towing. For ultimate towing versatility with variable loads, many Hilux owners pair this kit with rear airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling and fine-tuned ride height adjustment.
While not strictly mandatory, upgraded upper control arms are highly recommended when lifting your Hilux N80 beyond 30mm. Aftermarket control arms restore correct front suspension geometry, improve CV boot angles to reduce wear and potential failure, increase suspension travel for better off-road articulation, and provide additional castor adjustment for improved steering feel and stability. Most experienced Hilux owners consider quality control arms an essential upgrade when installing a lift kit of this height, particularly if you plan serious off-road touring or want to maximize the performance benefits of your new suspension.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Hilux N80. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry and angles, affecting castor, camber and toe settings across all four wheels. Without proper alignment, you'll experience premature and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering feel, reduced handling precision and potential safety issues. Book your alignment with a reputable shop experienced in 4WD suspension modifications, and ensure they have the capability to adjust castor, camber and toe to bring all angles back within manufacturer specifications for lifted vehicles.
Spring rate selection must be based exclusively on your constant accessory load — permanent equipment fitted to your vehicle, not occasional cargo or passengers. Calculate the weight of front accessories like bull bars, winches, lights and long-range fuel tanks, then rear accessories like canopies, drawers, dual batteries and permanently mounted fridges or water tanks. During checkout, select the spring rate category that matches your calculated constant load. Critically, do not factor in occasional loads like camping gear, tools that get removed, passengers or towing weight — over-rating your springs results in harsh ride quality and potential component damage.
With the 40-50mm lift provided by this kit, most Hilux N80 owners can comfortably fit 32-33 inch tyres (265/70R17 or 285/70R17) without rubbing issues, though minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required at full lock and compression. If you want to run 33+ inch tyres, you may need additional modifications such as wheel spacers, aftermarket wheels with different offset, or further guard trimming. Tyre fitment also depends on your wheel width and offset, suspension travel under load, and whether you've fitted aftermarket upper control arms. We always recommend test-fitting and checking clearances at full lock and compression before committing to new tyres.
Toughdog stands behind their products with comprehensive warranty coverage on all components in this kit, including both the remote reservoir shock absorbers and spring components. Specific warranty terms vary by component type and are detailed in the documentation included with your kit. Warranty coverage requires professional installation or verifiable DIY installation following manufacturer specifications, proper torque settings and mandatory wheel alignment. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship issues but does not cover damage from improper installation, accident, abuse, or failure to maintain components. Contact us for specific warranty duration details for your kit components.
Yes, despite the premium remote reservoir technology typically associated with extreme off-road use, this Toughdog kit is absolutely suitable for daily driving and delivers excellent on-road comfort. The remote reservoir design actually improves ride quality by increasing oil capacity and reducing heat buildup, maintaining consistent damping over varied terrain. When correctly matched to your constant load with appropriate spring rates, this kit provides a comfortable, controlled ride for daily commuting while still delivering exceptional performance when you head off-road on weekends. Many tradies run this setup as their everyday work vehicle suspension, appreciating the balance of comfort, load capacity and weekend adventure capability.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Had the Toughdog remote reservoir lift kit fitted to our 2018 Hilux last month and the difference is night and day. We've done two trips up to the High Country since then with the van loaded up with camping gear and the kids, and the ride quality is so much better than the stock setup. The remote res shocks handle the corrugations beautifully and we're not getting bounced around like we used to. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
