Product Overview

This suspension kit is engineered as a practical upgrade for the LandCruiser 70 Series platform, with components selected to deliver consistent control and durability under on-road, off-road and load-carrying conditions. The approximately 50mm lift increases approach and breakover clearance and provides a more capable stance for touring and off-road use, while maintaining correct ride height with a constant rear load.

Foam Cell Shock Technology

Foam Cell shock absorbers use a special foam saturated with oil instead of relying on pressurised gas. This design prevents aeration and cavitation, keeping damping forces stable across the full stroke. With greater oil capacity and improved heat dissipation, they resist fade, control temperature, and deliver reliable performance even under demanding use. Their durability makes them well suited for heavy-duty, towing and off-road applications.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is designed as a direct bolt-in upgrade using direct replacement components with no cutting or welding required. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation for optimum tyre wear and steering response.

Note: Ride height may vary depending on accessories such as bull bars, winches or canopies. Vehicles with added weight may require alternative spring rates.
