Tough Dog 40mm Suspension Lift Kit – Land Rover Defender 110 & 130 (Classic, up to 2016) | Advanced 4x4

Tough Dog Land Rover Defender 110 & 130 (Classic, up to 2016) Complete 40mm Suspension Lift Kit

The Tough Dog Land Rover Defender 110/130 40mm Suspension Kit is the gold standard for serious overland travellers. Unlike the shorter 90, the 110 and 130 models are routinely tasked with carrying massive payloads — roof racks, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, and full expedition setups. This kit is specifically valved and sprung to handle these high-centre-of-gravity loads while preserving the Defender’s legendary live-axle articulation and off-road composure.

Featuring 41mm Bore Foam Cell Shock technology with Heavy-Duty Valving, this system provides the oil volume necessary to keep the suspension cool and consistent through thousands of kilometres of corrugated African tracks, rocky trails, and high-speed dirt roads.

🚗 Why Upgrade Your Defender 110 or 130?

The Defender 110 and 130 are legendary expedition platforms — but they are prone to “rear end sag” when fully kitted for a trip. This sag negatively impacts steering geometry, tyre wear, and highway safety. Tough Dog’s progressive spring rates keep the vehicle level and stable at highway speeds while providing the plush compression needed to soak up rocks, ruts, and corrugations on the trail.

• ✅ 40mm lift — restored stance and increased ground clearance for expedition and trail use
• ✅ Eliminates rear end sag — heavy-duty rear coil options handle 300kg–500kg constant loads safely
• ✅ Corrects steering geometry — level ride height restores factory caster and tyre wear characteristics
• ✅ Preserves live-axle articulation — spring rates tuned to maintain the Defender’s legendary wheel travel
• ✅ Heavy-duty valved Foam Cell shocks — engineered for the 110/130’s greater mass and payload demands
• ✅ Fade-free performance — massive oil volume keeps damping consistent over thousands of kilometres
• ✅ Front spring options by accessory load — No Bar, Bullbar, or Winch/Brush Guard configurations available

Tip: A Steering Damper upgrade is highly recommended for Defender 110/130 models, particularly when running larger tyres or heavy front-end accessories. Ask our team for details and pricing.
