Pedders 2 Inch Extra Heavy Duty Load Carrying and Towing Suspension Kit with Heavy Duty Front and Mining Spec Shocks

Upgrade your LandCruiser 70 Series with a complete suspension lift solution dedicated to the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series VDJ78 / VDJ79. This kit is designed to suit vehicles running a minimum constant rear axle load of 800kg, features heavy-duty front coil springs specifically adapted to handle the additional weight of front-mounted accessories like a winch or bullbar, and is equipped with purpose-built mining spec shock absorbers. Once installed, the vehicle height should be approximately 50mm higher than standard, improving ground clearance and supporting larger tyre fitment (where permitted), without permanent modifications.

Product Overview

This suspension kit is engineered as a practical upgrade for the LandCruiser 70 Series platform, with components selected to deliver consistent control and durability under on-road, off-road and harsh heavy load-carrying conditions. The approximately 50mm lift increases approach and breakover clearance and provides a more capable stance for touring and heavy-duty use, while maintaining correct ride height with a minimum constant rear load and heavier front accessories.

Mining Spec Foam Cell Shock Technology

Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of mining applications, these Foam Cell shock absorbers use a special foam saturated with oil instead of relying on pressurised gas. This design prevents aeration and cavitation, keeping damping forces stable across the full stroke. To excel in harsh environments, these shocks feature a longer stroke for maximum wheel articulation and an additional dust boot to protect the internal seals and shaft from abrasive dust, mud, and debris common in mines. With greater oil capacity and improved heat dissipation, they deliver reliable performance and ultimate durability even under extreme use.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is designed as a direct bolt-in upgrade using direct replacement components with no cutting or welding required. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation for optimum tyre wear and steering response.

Note: This specific kit is optimized for vehicles with front accessories (bull bar/winch) operating in extreme environments. Vehicles must maintain the minimum required 800kg rear load for optimal ride quality and safety.
