Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity and suspension lifespan. Your spring rate choice should be based on the constant accessory weight fitted to your Hilux — not occasional loads like camping gear or tools. For the front, consider accessories such as steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), driving lights, upgraded batteries, long range fuel tanks and aftermarket steel bonnets. For the rear, account for steel trays, canopies, drawer systems, dual spare wheel carriers, rear bars, and permanently mounted water tanks. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, tools, passengers, or items carried for specific trips should not influence your spring rate selection — overspecifying spring rates for temporary loads will result in harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on suspension components when the vehicle is unladen.
This lift kit requires professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced DIY installer with appropriate tools, spring compressors, and safety equipment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain vehicle stability. All suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which ride height will settle 5-10mm and damping characteristics will optimise as seals and bushings bed in — avoid extreme off-road use during this period. For vehicles with significant lift or heavy front-end accessories, we recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore castor angle, improve steering feel, and maintain suspension geometry within factory tolerances.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence, rigorous real-world testing across outback tracks, coastal highways and remote touring routes. Every Toughdog component is designed to withstand the extreme temperature variations, corrugated roads, and heavy loads that define Australian four-wheel driving, backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and a nationwide network of experienced fitment specialists. Trusted by tradespeople, grey nomads, adventure tourers and weekend warriors alike, the Toughdog suspension range delivers proven reliability and performance when you're hundreds of kilometres from the nearest workshop.
This lift kit is ideal for Toyota Hilux N80 owners who demand superior ride quality, increased ground clearance and enhanced load-carrying capability — including tradespeople running steel trays and toolboxes, grey nomads towing caravans along the Nullarbor, and weekend adventurers exploring Cape York or the High Country. If you regularly carry heavy rear loads or tow close to your vehicle's GVM limit, consider upgrading to the 300kg or 500kg constant load rear springs, or adding airbag suspension for maximum load flexibility and adjustability. Whether you're chasing better off-road capability, running larger tyres, or simply want a more composed ride under load, this Toughdog kit delivers the performance and durability Australian conditions demand.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N80 series vehicles manufactured from 2015 onwards, including GUN and KUN variants. It fits all body configurations including single-cab, extra-cab and dual-cab models, and suits both 2WD and 4WD drivetrains with 2.8L turbo diesel and 2.7L petrol engines. The kit is compatible with SR, SR5, Workmate, Rogue and Rugged X trim levels. If you have aftermarket modifications or a unique build configuration, please contact our team to confirm fitment.
This Toughdog suspension kit provides approximately 40-50mm of lift at both the front and rear of your Hilux N80, depending on the spring rate selected and the constant accessory weight fitted to your vehicle. Heavier accessories such as steel bullbars, winches, and steel trays will compress springs slightly, reducing effective lift height. Final ride height also settles 5-10mm during the initial 500km break-in period as components bed in. This lift height is ideal for fitting 32-33 inch tyres without rubbing and significantly improves ground clearance for off-road tracks, creek crossings and rocky terrain.
This complete Toughdog kit includes front gas-charged strut assemblies, front raised coil springs in your choice of comfort/medium or constant load rating, rear progressive-rate leaf springs with optional 300kg or 500kg constant load upgrades, rear nitro gas shock absorbers, a complete rear spring U-bolt hardware kit, and a polyurethane rear spring bush kit. All necessary installation hardware and torque specifications are provided. Items not included are upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop kits, and wheel alignment — these may be required depending on your vehicle's existing configuration and lift height.
Absolutely — this Toughdog kit is engineered specifically for heavy-duty towing applications including caravans, camper trailers, boat trailers and box trailers up to your Hilux's rated towing capacity. The progressive-rate rear leaf springs and gas-charged rear shocks maintain stable ride height under tongue weight, reduce body sag, minimise sway, and provide controlled damping when loaded. For maximum towing capability and load adjustability, consider upgrading to the 300kg or 500kg constant load rear springs, or add airbag suspension for on-demand adjustability. Always ensure your combined vehicle and trailer weight remains within manufacturer GVM and GCM limits.
While this 40-50mm lift kit will function with factory control arms, upgrading to adjustable or extended upper control arms is highly recommended to restore optimal castor angle, improve steering feel, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain suspension geometry within safe tolerances. Vehicles with heavy front-end accessories such as steel bullbars and winches will particularly benefit from control arm upgrades. Factory control arms may also limit suspension droop and articulation after lifting, reducing off-road capability. Our suspension experts can assess your specific build and recommend whether control arms are necessary for your application.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Hilux N80. Lifting the vehicle alters suspension geometry including camber, castor and toe angles, which directly affects steering response, tyre wear patterns, and vehicle stability at highway speeds. Driving without proper alignment after installation will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor steering feel, and potentially unsafe handling characteristics. Most professional suspension installers include alignment in their fitment service, or can recommend a qualified alignment specialist familiar with lifted four-wheel drives.
Yes, this kit offers customisable spring rate selection to match your specific load requirements. For the front, choose between Comfort/Medium coils for standard accessories, or Constant Load rating if you run a steel bullbar, winch, long range fuel tank or steel tray. For the rear, select standard leaf springs for light loads, or upgrade to 300kg constant load for regular towing and medium accessories, or 500kg constant load for extreme payload such as steel trays, canopies, dual spare wheels, water tanks and heavy toolboxes. Select spring rates based only on constant accessory weight — never occasional loads such as camping gear or passengers.
With the 40-50mm lift provided by this Toughdog kit, most Toyota Hilux N80 models can comfortably fit 32-33 inch tyres (285/70R17 or 285/65R18) without rubbing during full suspension compression or steering lock. Tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, tyre brand/tread pattern, and whether you trim plastic inner guards or fit aftermarket flares. Some N80 variants may accommodate up to 33-inch tyres without additional modifications, while others may require minor trimming. For 35-inch tyres or larger, additional lift, body modifications, and potentially diff drops or steering corrections may be required.
All Toughdog suspension components are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms typically cover shock absorbers, struts, coil springs and leaf springs for a specified period when installed by a qualified professional and used within the manufacturer's specified load ratings. Warranty coverage requires proof of purchase, professional installation, and adherence to recommended service intervals including regular inspection of bushings, U-bolts and mounting hardware. Warranty does not cover damage caused by vehicle accidents, overloading beyond rated capacity, incorrect installation, or failure to perform required wheel alignment.
Yes, this Toughdog lift kit is specifically engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort and highway stability for daily driving, long-distance touring, and commuting. The gas-charged struts and progressive-rate springs are carefully valved to absorb highway imperfections, reduce body roll during cornering, and maintain composure at freeway speeds. When correctly matched to your vehicle's constant load, the ride quality is comfortable and controlled without the harsh or bouncy characteristics of poorly matched suspension. The kit balances daily driving refinement with off-road capability, making it ideal for vehicles that split time between bitumen highways and outback tracks.
Best upgrade I've done to the Hilux
Had this Toughdog lift kit fitted to my 2018 Hilux about three months back and it's been an absolute ripper. Carries my toolboxes and work gear without sagging, and the ride quality is actually better than stock even when I'm loaded up. Took it up some muddy fire trails on the weekend and the extra clearance made a huge difference.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our family adventures
Had this Toughdog lift kit fitted to our 2017 Hilux about three months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and out to the High Country. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when we've got the camper trailer hitched up and the back loaded with gear. Really happy with how it handles corrugations now, and the kids aren't complaining about the rough roads anymore.(5)
