Tough Dog GWM P-Series (2019+) Complete 35β40mm Suspension Lift Kit
The Tough Dog GWM P-Series (2019+) Suspension Kit is the ultimate solution for owners looking to refine the handling and capability of this popular bakkie. While the P-Series offers impressive value, payload capacity, and technology, the factory suspension can feel under-damped when tackling rough terrain or carrying heavy loads β resulting in a βwallowyβ, unsettled ride that undermines the vehicleβs otherwise strong platform. This Tough Dog kit eliminates that feeling, providing a significant increase in control, improved ground clearance, and the stability needed for South African off-road conditions.
Featuring 41mm Bore Foam Cell Shock technology, this system delivers superior heat dissipation to keep your ride composed and consistent on long, corrugated dirt roads, farm tracks, and high-speed gravel highways.
The P-Series is a heavy, high-payload bakkie with a strong platform β but the factory suspension is not calibrated for the demands of serious overlanding, heavy accessory loads, or sustained off-road use. Tough Dogβs progressive spring rates ensure the bakkie remains level when loaded for a camping trip, while the upgraded shocks provide the high-speed stability and damping control the P-Series deserves. This kit is a must-have for P-Series owners who use their vehicle for more than just the daily commute.

I love the table however there are a few design and productions issues that require improvements. Firstly it is advertised as a no drill installation but the backing plate has no holes and there is no template provided so you have to make a template off the rear door in order to mark the holes on the backing plate in order to drill the holes to be able to mount. I had to pay an installer who used an existing table off another Jimny as a template for the holes, without a template of sorts it's a nightmare.
I also recommend plastic or teflon washers be provided for the bottom where it hinges so that the bolts don't scrape away the powder coating when opening and closing, then the adjustable mount which aids levelling either needs to be redesigned entirely or teflon or plastic spacers need to be provided as when you open and close it pivots on the mounting bolt substantially which will eventually weaken and break.
Like i said, the table is really nice, it provides a really large workspace and the fact it's aluminium makes it light and rust resistant.
You just need to pay attention to a few improvements.
Hands down, one of the strongest Jeep bumpers on the market.
This isnβt just some thin steel coverβitβs a real, heavy-duty bumper built for proper off-roading. Iβve seen so many of these on Jeeps over the years, and now having one on my own rig, I couldn't be happier with the quality and strength. Highly recommended
