RAW 4x4 80 Series Lift Kits FAQ
Why is the 80 Series considered a legend for suspension upgrades?
The LandCruiser 80 Series was the first to feature coil springs all round, making it famous for its incredible wheel articulation. A RAW 4x4 lift kit enhances this legendary platform by providing more ground clearance and better control, allowing you to take full advantage of its off-road pedigree.
Will a 2-inch lift kit improve my Cruiser's on-road handling?
Yes. Many older 80 Series Cruisers suffer from "tired" factory springs, leading to a wallowy ride and excessive body roll. By upgrading to RAW 4x4 heavy-duty coil springs and nitrogen-charged shocks, you restore a firm, controlled feel to the steering and handling, making it safer for highway speeds.
Are RAW 4x4 shocks built to handle outback corrugations?
Absolutely. RAW 4x4 shock absorbers feature a large-bore design that holds more oil, which is critical for dissipating heat on long, corrugated outback tracks. This "heavy-track" engineering prevents shock fade, ensuring consistent damping performance when you're 500km from the nearest town.
What spring rate should I choose for my 80 Series?
We offer various spring rate options depending on your setup. If your rig is a "weekend warrior" with standard weight, a medium-duty kit is perfect. However, if you have a bull bar, winch, rear drawers, and a spare tyre carrier, we recommend our heavy-duty constant-load springs to maintain the lift height and prevent sagging.
Is the 2-inch (50mm) lift a direct bolt-in installation?
Yes. The RAW 4x4 2-inch lift kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory suspension components. It provides a significant boost in off-road capability without requiring complex modifications like extended brake lines or adjustable panhard rods, making it a straightforward DIY-friendly upgrade.
