Pedders Heavy Duty Load Carrying and Towing Suspension Kit With Foam Cell Shocks & Assembled Front Struts For Toyota Hilux MK8
This heavy-duty suspension kit is engineered for Hilux vehicles carrying a constant minimum 300 kg load over the rear axle. It improves towing performance, enhances load stability and increases ground clearance under consistent rear weight.
Key Features
- 1.75" lift (+40mm) for added clearance
- Enhanced load-carrying and towing performance
- Heavy-duty TrakRyder Foam Cell shocks with 40 mm bore
- Front coil springs and rear leaf springs matched for constant load
- Fully assembled Ezifit struts for straightforward installation
- Includes fitting hardware: bushes and U-bolts
- Direct-replacement components; no vehicle modifications required
- 2 Year / 40,000km / 25,000 mile warranty
Product Overview
The kit is tailored to support vehicles equipped with permanently mounted equipment such as canopies, drawers or tools, helping maintain correct ride height and composure under load. The lift sharpens stance and provides additional ground clearance for towing and work environments.
A slightly firmer ride may be noticeable when driving unladen. If most driving is without rear weight, a comfort-focused alternative may be more suitable.
Foam Cell Shock Technology
Foam Cell shock absorbers use a special foam saturated with oil instead of relying on pressurised gas. This design prevents aeration and cavitation, keeping damping forces stable across the full stroke. With greater oil capacity and improved heat dissipation, they resist fade, control temperature, and deliver reliable performance even under demanding use. Their durability makes them well suited for heavy-duty, towing and off-road applications.
Installation & Compatibility
Ezifit struts are supplied pre-assembled with shock, coil spring, new top mount, bump stop and protective boot, so no spring compressor or reuse of worn parts is required. Rear springs and hardware are direct replacements for factory components. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation for optimum tyre wear and steering response.
This kit is intended for vehicles with a constant minimum 300 kg rear load; using it without sufficient rear weight may result in a firm ride and incorrect ride height.
