The Toughdog Remote Reservoir Lift Kit for the VW Amarok (2010-ON) runs TDR remote reservoir struts front and TDR remote reservoir shocks rear — four corners of externally-mounted oil capacity for cooler, more consistent damping. It delivers a 2" front and 2" rear lift using raised coil springs and heavy-duty leaf springs rated for constant accessory loads like bull bars, trays and canopies. This is a full 4WD lift kit package, not a shock-only upgrade. Dispatched from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choose your leaf spring rate based on what stays permanently fitted to the tray or tub, not just your heaviest one-off load. A tourer running a bull bar, winch, canopy, drawers, water and a rooftop tent needs a firmer rear rate than a tradesperson with an empty tray who only loads up occasionally. Common accessories to weigh in are bull bars and winches up front, and canopies, tool boxes, dual batteries and long-range fuel tanks out back — talk to our team before ordering if you're unsure which rate suits your build.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a qualified workshop, given the leaf spring and remote reservoir mounting work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring castor and toe back within spec at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period before final torque checks and any additional alignment fine-tuning. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front geometry and CV angles at the raised height.
Toughdog has been developing 4WD suspension for Australian conditions for decades, tuning shock valving and spring rates specifically for local corrugated roads and vehicle loads. This kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is stocked here in Australia, so it's ready to dispatch without waiting on overseas freight. Tourers and tradespeople running Amaroks commonly choose Toughdog for the remote reservoir range when their vehicle carries constant accessory weight — see the full Toughdog suspension range for other lift and shock options.
This kit suits Amarok owners running a bull bar, winch, canopy or tray who need a spring rate matched to that constant load, plus tourers wanting remote reservoir damping for long corrugated stretches. Tradespeople carrying tools daily and caravan or camper trailer tow-tugs both benefit from the heavy-duty leaf springs' higher load rating. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height under variable weight.

This Toughdog Remote Reservoir Lift Kit is built for the VW Amarok 2H and NF series from 2010 onwards, covering both 2.0L TDI and 3.0L V6 TDI variants. It suits single cab, dual cab and cab-chassis configurations running standard leaf-sprung rear ends. If you're running a non-standard rear axle or a heavily modified tray, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This kit delivers a 2" front lift from the raised coil springs and TDR remote reservoir struts, and a 2" rear lift from the heavy-duty leaf springs and remote res shocks. Actual ride height gained depends on your Amarok's current load, tyre size and whether any accessories are already fitted. Wheel alignment after fitting will set final ride height and geometry within spec.
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 2 TDR remote reservoir front struts, 2 raised front coil springs, 2 heavy-duty rear leaf springs, and 2 TDR remote reservoir rear shocks, along with remote reservoir mounting brackets, a U-bolt kit and rear bump stops. Fitting instructions are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required for your geometry correction.
Yes, the heavy-duty rear leaf springs are rated to handle a higher constant load than standard Amarok leaf springs, which helps support tow ball weight and a loaded canopy or tray. The remote reservoir rear shocks also help control load sway and heat build-up when towing over longer distances. For heavier or highly variable towing loads, ask our team about matching a specific leaf spring rate to your setup.
Upper control arms aren't included in this kit but are worth considering at a 2" front lift to correct castor angle and CV joint angles. Whether you need them depends on your final ride height and how the vehicle is used — heavier off-road use benefits more from the correction. Our team can advise based on your exact Amarok configuration and intended use.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift front and rear changes castor, camber and toe from factory settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend a full alignment check again after the 500km bedding-in period.
Toughdog offers the heavy-duty leaf springs in this kit to suit constant accessory loads like bull bars, canopies and long-range fuel tanks. If your Amarok carries a different constant load than a standard tourer or trades setup, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the right rate. Getting the spring rate matched to your actual load is the biggest factor in ride quality and correct ride height.
A 2" lift front and rear generally creates clearance for a moderate tyre size increase over standard on an Amarok, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchasing to avoid rubbing under full articulation. Flares or minor trimming may be needed depending on the tyre size chosen.
This Toughdog Remote Reservoir Lift Kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty covering the struts, shocks, coil springs and leaf springs against defects. Warranty terms are honoured through our Australian-based support, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if an issue comes up. Contact our team with your order details if you ever need to make a claim.
Yes, the TDR remote reservoir valving is tuned for a balance between daily on-road comfort and off-road capability, not a purely off-road-only setup. Many Amarok owners run this kit as their everyday suspension while also using it for towing, touring and light off-road work. Ride quality on-road will settle in further after the 500km bedding-in period once alignment is finalised.
