Tough Dog 40mm Suspension Lift Kit – Toyota Hilux GD-6 (2016+) | Advanced 4x4

Tough Dog Toyota Hilux GD-6 (2016+) Complete 40mm Suspension Lift Kit

The Tough Dog Toyota Hilux GD-6 (2016+) 40mm Suspension Kit is one of our most popular upgrades — and for good reason. Designed specifically to handle the demanding conditions of South African terrain, this kit replaces the factory “nose-down” rake with a level, aggressive stance while delivering the load-carrying capacity required for work, towing, or serious overlanding.

Utilising 41mm Bore Foam Cell Shock technology, this system provides nearly double the oil capacity of standard shocks — keeping your suspension cool, consistent, and fade-free during long hauls on corrugated gravel roads, farm tracks, and high-speed dirt highways.

🚗 Why Upgrade Your Hilux GD-6?

The Hilux is a legendary workhorse — but its factory rear leaf springs are notoriously stiff when empty and prone to sagging under constant heavy loads. The Tough Dog kit solves both problems with progressive spring rates that deliver a comfortable, “plush” ride when empty, and exceptional stability and load control when fully laden for a camping trip, site visit, or towing run.

• ✅ 40mm lift — corrects factory nose-down rake and adds serious ground clearance
• ✅ Foam Cell shock technology — nearly double the oil capacity of standard shocks for fade-free performance
• ✅ Progressive rear spring rates — comfortable when empty, composed when loaded
• ✅ Load-rated spring options — Comfort, 300kg, or 500kg Constant to match your specific setup
• ✅ Front spring options by accessory load — No Bar, Bullbar, or Winch configurations available
• ✅ Optional 9-stage adjustable shocks — fine-tune your ride for any terrain or load condition
• ✅ High-tensile U-Bolts & polyurethane bushes — built for long-term durability under South African conditions

Note: A Tailshaft Spacer Kit may be required on some GD-6 models to prevent driveline vibration after lift. Contact us to confirm whether this applies to your specific vehicle configuration.
