Lift Kits & Suspension
As a Tough Dog Authorised Dealer, we give you expert advice and installs so you get the best performance from your 4×4. Tough Dog Suspension improves ride quality over OEM, raises your vehicle’s profile for greater ground clearance, and gives you better control under load. We also offer high-lift options from suppliers such as Bilstein, plus aftermarket control arms to correct the alignment issues that come with higher ride heights on IFS vehicles.
A suspension lift kit raises your 4×4’s profile, lifting the undercarriage away from the ground so you can cover rougher terrain without risking damage. Go too high, though, and you can drastically reduce control on the road. Our technicians work with you to find the optimal ride height, a balance between control on the blacktop and capability off it.

We stock King Brown stainless steel systems made by Pacemaker, along with aluminised and mild steel systems from X-Force, Zetti 4×4 and MANTA Exhausts. A well-matched exhaust helps your engine breathe, improving performance and efficiency.

The purpose of the snorkel is to bring air into the engine, completing the fuel combustion cycle. To fit a snorkel you need to disconnect the vehicles air intake system, therfore the engine will get air through the snorkel.
Once this step is complete, the air will run through the snorkel into the engine instad of through the original air intake. This will improve your engine efficency by drawing in cleaner, cooler and uncontaminated air due to its elevated position.
With our plastic and stainless steel options you can enjoy increased air intake efficiency and improved engine performance. Our technicians are always available to provide you with quality service, so trust us for all your snorkel installation needs!

Cold air intakes
A cold air intake works on a simple principle: cooler, denser air can be pushed into the engine faster than warm air, so the engine makes more rapid compressions and the air-fuel mixture is delivered more efficiently. There are several ways to keep intake air cool, minimising resistance and turbulence, shortening the intake path, or using a ram-air scoop. We’ll talk through the optimal solution for your vehicle and fit parts from trusted suppliers including K&N, Aeroflow, Gates, VCM Performance, Process West and more.

Serious 4×4 driving puts serious demand on your clutch, especially in heavier vehicles tackling constant gear changes over rough terrain. We fit a wide range of clutch kits designed specifically for 4×4s, with the expert advice you’d expect from manufacturer-trained technicians. Upgraded NPC clutches offer greater clamping force for vehicles making more power than factory, and if you’ve had work like remapping done, an upgraded clutch is often the next step.

Rocksliders
Rocksliders are heavy-duty steel bars attached to the underbody and sides of your ute or 4WD to protect it from the hazards of the track, rocks, branches, stumps and everything else off-road throws at you. Each slider we install is custom-made to fit your specific make and model for the highest level of protection with minimal install time.
Built from heavy-duty steel tubing, our rocksliders deliver superior strength and durability while keeping a low-profile look that blends into your vehicle’s existing lines. Many also include built-in step notches, making it easy to get in and out even in extreme terrain. From start to finish, you can be confident your rig stays protected on every adventure.

The airbox houses your engine’s air filter, which removes the dust, dirt, mud, bugs and other harmful particles that can cause problems inside the engine. We install and customise airboxes to suit any engine type, so no matter how unique your setup, we’ll help you get the best possible configuration for peak performance.

The cost of a 4×4 lift kit installation depends on your vehicle, the type of kit and how high you want to lift it. A basic suspension lift fitted to a common 4WD will generally sit at the lower end, while high-lift setups, upgraded shocks and additional components such as control arms can increase the total cost.
Fitting labour, wheel alignment and any additional parts required to complete the installation safely will also affect the price. As a Tough Dog Authorised Dealer, we’ll provide a clear, upfront quote based on your vehicle’s make, model and how you drive.
