RAW 4x4 Heavy-Duty Suspension Lift Kit – Land Rover Defender 110 & 130 (1984–2016)

RAW 4x4 Heavy-Duty Suspension Lift Kit – Land Rover Defender 110 & 130 (1984–2016)

Transform your classic overlander’s load capacity and off-road handling with the commercial truck-tough RAW 4x4 Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for the Land Rover Defender 110 & 130 (1984–2016). Born from a rich pedigree of heavy commercial vehicle engineering by Powerdown, this system replaces fatigued factory components to provide up to 40mm of ground clearance — carefully calculated to keep stock radius arms and prop-shaft angles within safe operating limits — while addressing the body roll, steering play, and metal-on-metal noise common to older Defender spring towers.

Unlike modern utility bakkies, this vintage platform features heavy-duty coil springs on both front and rear live axles, maximising axle articulation and off-road traction. Whether you’re packing a Quick Pitch Quick-en-Suite Box Unit, permanent rooftop tents, or tackling corrugated bush trails, the upgraded coils and RC-LR130R Constant-Load Rear Springs stop rear-end sag dead in its tracks. Equipped with heavy-duty charged Nitro shocks with 360° deep-penetrating structural welds on all eye rings and studs, this kit completely eradicates dampening fade over hours of brutal off-road driving.
