Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for ride quality and component longevity. Choose spring rates based on constant accessory load only — not occasional loads or towing weight. For front springs, account for bull bars, winches, additional lighting, long-range fuel tanks and drawer systems. For rear springs, include canopies, dual battery systems, fridges, water tanks, drawer systems, rooftop tents and permanently mounted accessories. Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing should not be factored into spring rate selection — the suspension is designed to handle these intermittently. Selecting springs rated too high for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality and potential premature wear of bushings and other components.
This complete lift kit is suitable for professional installation or experienced home mechanics with appropriate equipment including spring compressors, torque wrenches and safety stands. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and compromised handling. All suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which spring heights will settle and bushings will seat properly. Depending on your lift height and intended use, consider upgrading to extended control arms to restore suspension geometry and improve wheel travel, particularly if fitting larger tyres or frequent off-road use is planned.
Toughdog has been Australia's number one choice for 4WD suspension for over three decades, with every component designed, tested and proven across the harshest outback conditions our country can deliver. From the Simpson Desert to Cape York, Toughdog suspension is trusted by touring families, remote area workers and commercial operators who demand reliability when it matters most. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by a national network of specialist fitment centres, the complete Toughdog suspension range represents exceptional value and proven Australian engineering excellence.
This Toughdog lift kit is ideal for Hilux N70 owners who tour with loaded camping gear, tradies carrying heavy tools and equipment daily, or anyone who regularly tows caravans, camper trailers or boats. If you're planning extended outback travel, frequent beach driving, or need to carry serious payload in the tub, this kit delivers the load capacity and ground clearance you need. For those carrying extreme loads or seeking adjustable load support, consider complementing this suspension with airbag suspension for ultimate versatility and on-demand load levelling capability.

This kit is engineered specifically for all Toyota Hilux N70 models manufactured between 2005 and 2015, including Single Cab, Extra Cab and Dual Cab body styles. It fits all N70 variants including SR, SR5, Workmate and all petrol or diesel engine options from this generation. The kit provides direct bolt-on fitment to factory mounting points without requiring chassis modifications. If you have a pre-facelift (2005-2011) or facelift model (2011-2015), both are compatible with this suspension system.
This Toughdog suspension kit delivers approximately 40-50mm of lift at both front and rear, depending on your vehicle's current accessory load and the spring rates you select. Actual lift height will vary based on constant payload — vehicles with heavier bull bars, winches and accessories will sit slightly lower than lightly equipped vehicles. The lift is sufficient to accommodate 32-33 inch tyres without body modifications, significantly improves ground clearance for off-road driving, and provides better approach and departure angles. Final height settles after the initial 500km break-in period as springs and bushings seat properly.
This is a comprehensive lift kit containing everything needed for front and rear suspension upgrade: two Toughdog foam cell front strut assemblies, two front raised coil springs in your choice of load rating, two rear multi-stage leaf spring assemblies (with optional upgrade to 300kg or 500kg constant load rating), two rear nitro gas shock absorbers, complete rear spring U-bolt kit with all hardware, and a full rear spring polyurethane bush kit. All mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions are included. The only additional items you may need are wheel alignment services after installation and potentially extended brake lines depending on your specific vehicle configuration.
Absolutely — this kit is specifically designed to handle the demands of regular towing with significantly improved rear-end support compared to factory suspension. The multi-stage rear leaf springs reduce sag when towing, maintaining proper vehicle geometry, safe headlight aim and stable handling characteristics. You can select optional 300kg or 500kg constant load rear springs if you tow heavy loads frequently. The enhanced damping from the Toughdog shocks also improves towing stability by controlling body roll and pitch. For those who tow intermittently or want on-demand load adjustment, this kit can be complemented with airbag suspension for maximum versatility.
While this 40-50mm lift can be fitted using factory control arms, upgrading to extended or adjustable control arms is highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry, particularly if you plan frequent off-road use or fitting larger tyres. Extended control arms restore correct castor angle, improve steering feel and return, reduce tyre scrub and maximise wheel travel. They also help prevent premature wear on CV joints and ball joints caused by increased operating angles. Many Hilux N70 owners choose to install control arms at the same time as the lift kit to achieve the best possible handling and longevity from their suspension investment.
Yes, wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after fitting any lift kit and is critical for safety, handling and tyre life. Lifting your Hilux alters suspension geometry including camber, caster and toe angles which directly affect steering response, stability and tyre wear patterns. A professional four-wheel alignment should be performed by a shop with experience in modified 4WDs who can adjust alignment settings to compensate for the lift. Skipping alignment will result in rapid uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and potentially unsafe steering characteristics. Most insurance policies also require proper alignment after suspension modifications.
Yes, this Toughdog kit offers customisable spring rates so you can match the suspension to your exact constant accessory load. For front springs, choose between Comfort/Medium or Constant Load ratings depending on bull bar, winch and auxiliary equipment weight. For rear springs, select standard rating or upgrade to 300kg or 500kg constant load options based on canopy, drawers, water tanks and permanently mounted gear. It's critical to select rates based only on constant load — not occasional camping gear or towing weight. Selecting springs too heavy for your actual constant load results in harsh ride quality and potential component damage, while springs too soft cause excessive sag and bottoming out.
This 40-50mm lift allows you to fit 32-33 inch diameter tyres (approximately 285/75R16 or 265/70R17 depending on your wheel size) without requiring body modifications, though minor trimming of mudflaps may be necessary. Tyre clearance also depends on wheel offset — more aggressive negative offset wheels may require slight fender trimming at full lock. If you plan to fit 33 inch or larger tyres, ensure you also address gearing changes by regearing differentials or installing a chip to compensate for the increased rolling diameter, which affects speedometer accuracy, fuel economy and performance. Always test fit and cycle suspension through full travel before finalising tyre selection to ensure no rubbing occurs during articulation or compression.
Toughdog stands behind their Australian-engineered suspension with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage on all components in this kit. Specific warranty terms vary by component type but generally include substantial coverage periods for manufacturing defects and material failures. Warranty coverage requires professional installation or detailed documentation of DIY installation following manufacturer specifications, proper wheel alignment after fitting, and appropriate spring rate selection for your vehicle's constant load. Warranty does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, racing use, or failure to follow break-in and maintenance procedures. Full warranty details and registration information are included with your kit.
Yes, Toughdog suspension is specifically engineered to balance off-road capability with excellent on-road comfort for daily driving, highway touring and urban commuting. The foam cell front struts provide controlled damping without harshness, while the multi-stage rear leaf springs offer progressive support — comfortable when empty yet supportive under load. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise ride quality, Toughdog's Australian engineering ensures the Hilux N70 remains refined and comfortable for long-distance touring while dramatically improving capability when you leave the bitumen. Thousands of Australian families and tradespeople rely on Toughdog suspension for vehicles that perform dual duty as daily drivers and serious touring or work rigs.
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Work
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my N70 for eight months now, covering everything from the Simpson Desert to Cape York, and it's handled every corrugation and creek crossing without a complaint. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock even when loaded up with 300kg of recovery gear and long-range tanks. Fitment was spot-on and install was straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge. Best value suspension upgrade I've done in years of building touring rigs.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to our 2012 Hilux before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The extra clearance made beach tracks so much easier, and the kids actually commented on how much smoother the ride was on corrugations. Really impressed with how well everything fitted together during installation, and the whole setup feels solid and confidence-inspiring when loaded up with camping gear.(5)
