What vehicles are compatible with Tough Dog Torsion Bars?
Tough Dog Torsion Bars are engineered for specific makes and models of popular 4WD utes, SUVs, and trucks (e.g., Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi Triton/Pajero Sport, Isuzu D-Max/MUX). Always check our vehicle fitment guide or consult our experts at Opposite Lock Cardiff for exact compatibility.
How does a 30% higher spring rate improve my 4WD's performance?
The increased spring rate provides significantly greater resistance to sag, especially when carrying heavy front end accessories (bull bars, winches) or towing. This translates to better steering stability, reduced body roll, improved handling on and off-road, prevention of bottoming out, and helps maintain correct ride height for optimal wheel alignment and safety.
Will these 4WD Torsion Bars give me a lift?
Tough Dog Torsion Bars enable a lift by providing the necessary strength to support increased pre-load (tension adjustment). They are designed to perform optimally at factory height or with moderate lift (typically up to 50mm, depending on the vehicle). They counteract sag, restoring or increasing ride height effectively. Achieving a specific lift requires professional adjustment during installation.
Can I install Tough Dog Torsion Bars myself?
While designed for straightforward installation by qualified professionals, torsion bar replacement requires specialized tools (like torsion bar unloaders/loaders), precise adjustment, and a wheel alignment afterwards. We strongly recommend professional installation (like at Opposite Lock Cardiff) to ensure correct pre-load, safety, optimal performance, and warranty compliance.
