Recently, we had the pleasure of having this Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series a complete suspension transformation. The owner wanted more ground clearance, improved handling and better load-carrying capability for his upcoming lap around Australia and future adventures. After assessing their needs, we carried out a full 2” lift overhaul using premium, heavy-duty components designed for performance, comfort and durability.
Here is what went into this build:
Bilstein B60 shock absorbers & Bilstein heavy duty springs
We upgraded the factory shocks and springs to Bilstein B60s paired with Bilstein heavy duty springs.
- Why?
- The B60s are known for their superior heat dissipation and consistent damping, which means smoother control over rough terrain and less fade on long trips.
- Result:
- Sharper handling on-road, better control off-road and a noticeable improvement in ride comfort.
SuperPro fixed offset upper control arms
We installed SuperPro fixed offset UCAs to correct wheel alignment after the lift.
- Why?
- A 2” lift changes suspension geometry. These UCAs bring camber and caster back into spec, improving steering feel and tyre wear.
- Result:
- Stable steering at highway speeds and precise handling when navigating technical tracks.
Polyair airbag load assisting kit
For extra load support, we fitted a Polyair airbag kit inside the rear coils.
- Why?
- Perfect for towing or carrying heavy gear as the airbags can be inflated or deflated to suit the load.
- Result:
- Level ride height even when fully loaded, improved stability and reduced rear sag.
Whiteline adjustable panhard rod
A Whiteline adjustable panhard rod was added to re-centre the rear axle after the lift.
- Why?
- When you lift a vehicle, the factory panhard rod causes the axle to shift sideways. The adjustable rod brings it back to centre.
- Result:
- Improved handling, even tyre tracking and reduced stress on suspension components.
The final outcome
The LandCruiser now sits 2 inches taller, with improved ground clearance for tackling rough tracks and a much more planted feel on and off road. Whether it is towing a caravan, carrying heavy loads or exploring remote areas, this suspension package delivers confidence and comfort in all conditions.
If you are looking to transform your 4WD’s handling, stability and load capacity, we can put together a suspension upgrade tailored to your needs.
