Kit contents
All options include front struts and coil springs, rear shocks, rear leaf springs, kit-specific bushes and U-bolts, greasable rear pins and shackles. Foam Cell and 40mm Adjustable front struts are assembled at our workshop. TD-R Pro kits use complete front assemblies and also include Tough Dog upper control arms. For Foam Cell and 40mm Adjustable, choose the “+ upper control arms” package to include Tough Dog TDCA-002 upper control arms for an additional $645. Fitting is covered by the package installation charge. Standard Foam Cell and Adjustable selections exclude upper control arms. TD-R Pro already includes them with no extra charge.
Lift and fitment
Nominal lift is 40 mm front and rear. Actual height depends on vehicle weight and accessories. Confirm build date and exact variant before ordering, particularly November 2025 changeover vehicles. Workmate 2WD/Hi-Rider, Rogue Widebody, GR Sport and N90 are separate applications and are excluded from this listing.
Choose springs for weight carried regularly. Spring ratings do not increase the legal carrying capacity; this is not a certified GVM upgrade.
Photos are representative manufacturer images, not a photograph of every configuration. Parts and shock appearance vary by selection. TD-R Pro upper control arms are included even where not pictured.
Know before you buy
Before you buy a lift kit
A suspension kit changes ride height, how the vehicle carries weight and how its safety systems behave. Victoria has clear limits on how high you can go without engineering.
- How much lift is legal
Nationally, up to 50 mm total with no certificate. In Victoria an off-road 4WD can go to 75 mm (50 mm suspension plus 25 mm of tyre radius) with a kit designed and tested for that vehicle, and you keep the kit maker's written statement (VSI 8).
- Tyres count
Bigger tyres add to the lift. A 4WD can go up to 50 mm larger in diameter if the tyres stay inside the guards and don't rub, and the speedo must stay accurate.
- Match it to your load
Choose springs for what the vehicle really carries: bar, winch, drawers, water and touring gear. A kit set up for an empty vehicle will sag under a full touring load.
- Stability control
A lift must not affect electronic stability control, and the ESC unit must never be disconnected. Airbag suspension needs a VASS certificate in Victoria (VSI 8).
Common questions
How much can I legally lift my 4WD in Victoria?
Up to 50 mm in total (suspension, body blocks and tyres combined) needs no certificate. Off-road 4WDs can go to 75 mm: 50 mm of suspension plus up to 25 mm extra tyre radius, using a commercially available kit designed and tested for that vehicle at that height, fitted to instructions, with the kit maker's written statement kept by the owner (VSI 8). More than that needs a VASS signatory.
Do bigger tyres count towards the lift?
Yes. Tyre size adds to total height. On a 4WD, tyres can be up to 50 mm larger in diameter than the largest option the vehicle maker lists, provided they stay within the guards and don't foul anything (VSB 14 Section LS, VSI 8).
Does a lift kit increase my GVM?
No. A lift kit changes ride height and load handling, but your legal GVM only changes with a certified GVM upgrade.
Will a lift affect stability control and driver-assist systems?
It can. Victoria requires evidence that electronic stability control isn't affected, and a modification that stops systems like emergency braking or lane support working isn't acceptable (VSI 8). Ask us about your model before you buy.
My springs have sagged. Is replacing them a modification?
No. Restoring the vehicle to its original ride height is maintenance, not a modification (VSI 8).
