FAQs
Weight Guide

Q: How should I set up my suspension for my 4x4 vehicle?

A: The best approach is to configure your 4x4 suspension based on what you will primarily use the vehicle for about 80% of the time. Finding the right suspension kit involves striking a balance and choosing one that aligns with the main purpose of your vehicle.

Q: What should I consider when choosing a suspension kit?

A: When selecting a suspension kit, consider the primary use of your 4x4 vehicle. Here are some scenarios to guide you:

- General Driving and Off-Road Adventures: For regular driving and occasional off-road adventures, opt for a balanced suspension kit that offers a comfortable ride and reasonable off-road performance. Heavy-duty kits might be unnecessary and lead to a stiffer ride.

- Towing: If you plan to tow a caravan or boat occasionally, consider installing an airbag set up. This setup provides a better compromise compared to choosing extra heavy-duty coils, which may result in a harsh ride and elevated rear suspension height when not towing.

- Tradesman or Mining Vehicle: For vehicles that are constantly loaded due to tradesman or mining purposes, a heavy-duty suspension set up is more appropriate. This setup ensures your 4x4 can handle the consistent load efficiently.

Q: What issues may arise from choosing the wrong suspension setup?

A: Selecting the wrong suspension setup can lead to several issues:

- Uncomfortable Ride: Installing a heavy-duty suspension kit for occasional heavy loads can make the vehicle's ride uncomfortably stiff when it's not carrying a significant load.

- Negative Impact on Components: Inappropriately heavy suspension setups can put unnecessary strain on other suspension components, potentially causing premature wear and damage.

- Rear Suspension Height: Incorrectly chosen setups can cause the rear of the vehicle to sit too high or too low, affecting stability and handling.

Q: What should I consider if I've replaced the factory tub with a tray on my vehicle?

A: If you've replaced the factory tub with a steel or alloy tray, consider the additional weight factor when calculating the total load. Take into account the weight of toolboxes, tools, and equipment that will be carried regularly.

Remember, the key to setting up your 4x4 suspension lies in understanding your vehicle's primary usage and finding a suspension kit that strikes the right balance for your needs. Consulting with suspension experts can also help you make an informed decision and ensure optimal performance and comfort for your off-road adventures.

Wireless Air

Offering a built-in air compressor for your air bag system, the Tough Dog Wireless Air kit allows you to adjust the pressure in the air bags on the fly, thus providing the perfect amount of pressure in the bags depending on your requirement. The system also allows you to adjust each airbag individually, catering for vehicles with uneven loads. The Wireless Air Kit can be controlled by a user-friendly LCD wireless controller or the intuitive wireless app that can be programmed with user-defined presets and enables frequently used pressures to be saved. The kit has been designed to be easily installed and only requires a battery to be hooked up.

This Vehicle Part No: TDAS-002

Coil Insert Airbags

When carrying varying loads or heavy towing, Air Assist coil insert kits can help level off vehicles. By increasing the air pressure, the coil insert kit increases the effective spring rate and levels the vehicle. The high pressure bag is inserted inside the coil spring and assists the coil spring when necessary.

This Vehicle Part No: TDAA-025

Important Notes for setting up your Vehicle Correctly:

When selecting Springs to suit your lift, please Select Springs only to suit Current "CONSTANT" Loads Front and Rear.
Towing Loads are not included in your Constant Load Calculations, as they are not "Constant" Loads.
Please do not put Occasional Loads into your "Constant" Load determinations.
Selecting a load rating that is too heavy for your setup will result in Poor Flex Off-Road, Compromised Suspension Travel & Rough Ride, and will cause damage to your new shock absorbers and other components by pushing them outside of their intended range.
