Description
Toyota Hilux Aftermarket Suspension Lift Kit
The Toyota HiLux N90 shares its badge and name with the N80 but it is a different vehicle under the skin. Toyota updated components, weights and geometry across the AN2 platform. Parts that fitted the 2025 N80 HiLux do not automatically transfer to the 2025+ N90.
Tough Dog developed this hilux n90 lift kit from scratch for the AN2 platform. Their R&D team tested the kit specifically for the N90 geometry, load requirements and Australian driving conditions. No components carry over from the N80 kit.
This matters for owners upgrading from an N80 to an N90. The suspension system your N80 ran is not a direct fit for your N90. The Tough Dog toyota hilux n90 suspension kit is the correct solution built for this specific vehicle.
HiLux N90 Tough Dog Suspension Lift Kit: What’s Included
The standard tough dog n90 hilux suspension kit includes the following components.
Front:
- Tough Dog Foam Cell Struts
- Front Raised Coils (comfort, medium or constant load rating)
- Front Swaybar Spacer
Rear:
- Tough Dog Foam Cell Shocks
- Rear Leaf Springs (select 300kg, 500kg or 800kg constant load)
- Rear Spring U-Bolt Kit
- Rear Spring Bush Kit
- Rear Centre Bearing Spacer
The Rear Centre Bearing Spacer is specific to the N90 platform. Lifting the vehicle changes the driveshaft angle. The centre bearing spacer repositions the centre bearing to maintain correct driveshaft geometry after the 40mm lift is installed.
Every component in this hilux n90 suspension kit works together as a complete system tested on the AN2 platform before release.
Shock Options: Foam Cell and 9 Stage Adjustable
The tough dog hilux n90 lift kit is available in two shock configurations. Select your preferred option at checkout.
Foam Cell Shock Absorbers for HiLux N90
The Foam Cell option uses Tough Dog foam cell shock absorbers front and rear. A micro-cellular foam insert inside the shock body reduces shock fade under sustained off-road use, corrugations and heavy towing loads. This option suits N90 HiLux owners who want consistent performance for daily driving, towing and touring without needing to adjust the suspension.
9 Stage Adjustable Shocks for HiLux N90
The adjustable option upgrades the N90 HiLux to Tough Dog 9-stage adjustable shocks and struts front and rear. An external adjuster at the base of each unit lets you change damping firmness to suit your current load and driving conditions. The hilux n90 adjustable suspension option suits owners who switch regularly between daily driving, heavy towing and off-road use. Select the adjustable upgrade at checkout.
HiLux N90 Rear Spring Rate Options
Choosing the correct rear spring rate for your N90 HiLux is the most important selection in this kit. Running the wrong spring rate causes the N90 to ride over-sprung which leads to driveline vibration.
The N90 HiLux kit offers three rear spring rates including an 800kg option not available on previous HiLux platform kits.
Load Option | Rate | Suits |
Standard | 300kg | No constant accessories or tray load |
Medium | 500kg | Bull bar, canopy, occasional tray load |
Heavy | 800kg | Full working load. Constant maximum tray or commercial use |
The 800kg constant load option reflects the N90 HiLux platform’s use as a working and commercial vehicle more than any previous HiLux generation kit. Call us on (02) 4058 1911 before purchasing. Our team confirms the correct rear spring rate for your specific N90 build and load requirements.
Front Spring Rate Options for HiLux N90
The hilux n90 coil springs in this kit come in three load ratings to suit the front end weight of your specific N90 build.
Front Spring | Suits |
Comfort | Light front accessories. Daily driving focus |
Medium | Bull bar and winch combination |
Constant load | Full touring setup with heavy front accessories |
Select the correct front spring rate at checkout or call us on (02) 4058 1911 and our team confirms the right option for your Toyota Hilux N90.
Optional Upgrades for the Toyota HiLux N90 Kit
Pre-Assembled Front Struts
Select the Pre-Assembled option at checkout to receive the front struts pre-assembled with new factory strut tops. This replaces all original mounting hardware and eliminates the need for a spring compressor during installation. Both options deliver the same 40mm lift height.
HiLux N90 Upper Control Arms
Tough Dog Upper Control Arms for the N90 HiLux correct wheel geometry after the 40mm lift is installed. When lifting the N90, the factory upper control arms run the front wheels at an angle that affects tyre wear and handling. The Tough Dog hilux n90 upper control arms restore correct geometry for improved handling and tyre longevity. Available as an upgrade at checkout.
Greasable Shackles and Pins
Greasable shackles and pins are available as an add-on for the rear suspension. Applying grease through the nipple forces grease through the joint and pushes out dirt, sand and grit. This protects rear spring bushes from premature wear in dusty outback conditions and coastal environments.
Air Assist Airbag Kit for HiLux N90
Tough Dog also supplies Air Assist Airbag kits for the HiLux N90 with optional Wireless Air and Onboard Air System configurations. The airbag kit suits N90 owners who carry variable rear loads. Inflate to add rear support under heavy tow or cargo load. Deflate when running light. This prevents the over-sprung condition that causes driveline vibration when a fixed spring rate is too heavy for a light load. Call us on (02) 4058 1911 to discuss whether the airbag kit suits your Toyota Hilux N90 use.

The Tough Dog hilux n90 kit carries a 4 years warranty for recreational use and a 3 years warranty for commercial use. Every component in the kit is vehicle-specific to the AN2 platform and carries the full Tough Dog manufacturer warranty.

Is the Tough Dog N90 HiLux kit the same as the N80 kit?
No. The tough dog n90 hilux suspension kit is a completely separate product developed from scratch for the AN2 platform. The N90 HiLux uses updated components, geometry and weights compared to the N80. Parts from the N80 Tough Dog kit do not automatically fit the N90. Tough Dog tested the N90 kit specifically for the AN2 platform under Australian towing, touring and off-road conditions. If you are upgrading from an N80 to an N90, you need the N90-specific kit. Call us on (02) 4058 1911 to confirm.
What rear spring rate should I choose for the HiLux N90 lift kit?
The hilux n90 leaf springs in this kit come in three rear load ratings. The 300kg option suits N90 owners who carry no constant rear accessories or tray load. The 500kg option suits owners running a bull bar, canopy or occasional tray load. The 800kg option is available specifically for the N90 and suits owners under constant maximum working or commercial loads. Running the wrong spring rate causes driveline vibration. Call us on (02) 4058 1911 before purchasing and our team confirms the correct rate for your specific N90 build.
Does the Tough Dog HiLux N90 kit come with Upper Control Arms?
Tough Dog Upper Control Arms for the HiLux N90 are available as an optional upgrade at checkout. They are not included in the standard kit. After installing a 40mm lift on the N90 HiLux, the factory upper control arms run the front wheels at an angle that affects tyre wear and handling. The hilux n90 upper control arms from Tough Dog correct this geometry. Our team at Opposite Lock Cardiff recommends the UCA upgrade for N90 owners who run larger tyres after the lift. Call us on (02) 4058 1911 to discuss your specific setup.
What lift height does the Tough Dog HiLux N90 suspension kit provide?
The tough dog toyota hilux n90 kit provides approximately 40mm of lift front and rear. This applies across both the Foam Cell and 9-Stage Adjustable shock options and across all three rear spring rate selections (300kg, 500kg and 800kg). The lift height is consistent whether you select standard or pre-assembled front struts. The kit suits all 2026+ N90 Toyota HiLux 4×4 models. Call us on (02) 4058 1911 to confirm fitment for your specific N90 variant.
