Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in this 2-inch suspension kit for the 78 Series?
This comprehensive RAW 4x4 kit is engineered to provide a balanced upgrade to your LandCruiser's handling and load-carrying capacity. It typically includes heavy-duty nitrogen gas shock absorbers, high-performance front coil springs, and upgraded rear leaf springs designed to provide a true 2-inch (50mm) lift. Depending on your selection, the kit may also include essential hardware such as polyurethane bushes, high-tensile U-bolts, and greasable shackles to ensure optimal longevity and articulation.
Why should I choose RAW 4x4 suspension over factory components?
Factory suspension is designed for a generic "best fit" across a wide range of uses, which often results in premature sagging when carrying heavy loads or poor performance on corrugated outback tracks. RAW 4x4 components are specifically valved and rated for Australian conditions. By installing this kit, you gain increased ground clearance, improved approach/departure angles, and significantly better dampening control, which reduces body roll and prevents your LandCruiser from "bottoming out" when traversing rough terrain.
How do I select the right spring rates for my specific setup?
Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to your ride comfort and vehicle safety. You should base your selection on the weight you carry 80% of the time. If you have a steel bullbar, winch, or heavy rear camper fit-out, you will need higher constant-load rated springs. If you choose a high-load spring for an empty vehicle, the ride will be excessively firm. We recommend totaling the weight of your accessories to ensure you choose the kit that perfectly matches your LandCruiser’s build.
Will this kit affect my LandCruiser's GVM or legal compliance?
This 2-inch lift kit is designed to fall within standard vehicle modification guidelines for most Australian states. However, it is the owner's responsibility to ensure compliance with local road transport regulations. If you are looking to increase your Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) beyond factory ratings, please contact our team to discuss our specific GVM Upgrade kits, as these require formal engineering certification.
What maintenance is required after installing a new suspension kit?
To get the best life out of your RAW 4x4 components, we recommend a professional wheel alignment immediately following installation. Because suspension components "settle" once they have been driven, it is standard practice to perform a secondary "nut and bolt" check after the first 500km to ensure all fasteners remain torqued to spec. If your kit includes greasable shackles, these should be part of your regular lubrication service schedule, especially after driving through mud, sand, or water crossings.
