Toughdog Rear Foam Cell Shocks for the Mazda BT50 UP and UR series (2011-2020) use nitrogen-charged foam cell technology, where a firm open-cell foam ring surrounds the piston rod to keep oil and gas separate under hard compression. This pair replaces both rear dampers to reduce fade on corrugated tracks and steady the rear end under tray loads or a loaded canopy. Backed by a manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment support from our team for every BT50 variant. Pair them with our leaf spring range if you're upgrading rear load capacity at the same time.

Rear shocks work as a pair with your leaf springs, so match spring rate to your constant accessory load rather than an empty ute weight. Common accessories that add constant rear load include a steel tray or canopy, dual jerry can holders, a slide-on camper, drawers system, water tanks and a loaded tow ball. If you're regularly running near GVM, talk to our team about a heavier-rated leaf spring to run alongside this shock pair.
Fitting rear shocks is a straightforward job for an experienced DIY installer with basic hand tools, though we recommend a qualified workshop if you're not confident working under the vehicle. A wheel alignment isn't strictly required from a shock-only change, but it's good practice to check ride height and axle alignment if you've fitted new leaf springs at the same time. Allow a 500km bed-in period before you judge final ride quality, as the foam cell and seals settle in. If you're planning a broader rear-end upgrade, pairing this shock pair with control arm upgrades or new leaf springs will get the geometry and load rating matched properly.
Toughdog has been supplying 4WD and ute owners across Australia with shocks and springs valved for local conditions and local vehicle weights. Every Toughdog shock is backed by a manufacturer warranty and sold with genuine fitment guidance from our in-house team, not a generic overseas spec sheet. Tourers, tradespeople and tow-vehicle owners run Toughdog because the foam cell design is built to handle repeated heavy-load cycles — view the full Toughdog range for matching front shocks and springs.
This rear shock pair suits BT50 owners who carry a constant load — tradespeople with a fitted-out canopy, tourers with drawers and water tanks, and anyone regularly towing a caravan or box trailer. If your rear end sits low under load even with upgraded shocks, our airbag suspension range can add load-levelling support without changing your daily ride height.
These Toughdog Rear Foam Cell Shocks for the Mazda BT50 2011-2020 are in stock and ready for fast dispatch from our Australian warehouse, with our team on hand to confirm fitment before you order. Browse our full lift kit range if you're planning a complete front and rear suspension upgrade.

Yes, this pair is designed for the Mazda BT50 UP series (2011-2015) and UR series (2015-2020), covering both the 2.2L and 3.2L engine variants. It's a direct bolt-in replacement using the factory rear mounting points, so no cutting or drilling is needed. If you're unsure which series your BT50 is, our fitment support team can confirm from your rego or VIN before you order.
These are shock absorbers, not lift components, so they don't raise ride height on their own. They're valved to suit standard ride height and rear ends raised up to 2" when paired with matching leaf springs from our leaf spring range. If you want an actual lift, you'll need to fit raised leaf springs alongside these shocks.
You get 2 x Toughdog Foam Cell rear shock absorbers plus mounting bushes and fitting hardware as supplied by Toughdog. Rear leaf springs, U-bolts and control arms are not included and are sold separately. Fitting instructions are included with the pair.
Yes, the foam cell design is specifically aimed at reducing fade under sustained load, which suits towing and heavy tray or canopy use. The rear-specific valving is tuned for the BT50's leaf-sprung axle to control movement under tow ball weight. If you're towing near GVM regularly, ask us about a heavier-rated leaf spring to pair with this shock pair.
Control arms aren't required for a rear shock-only fitment on the BT50, since the rear end uses leaf springs rather than a control arm setup. If you're also lifting the front end, upgraded control arms help correct front-end geometry at height. Our team can advise whether your specific lift height needs them.
A wheel alignment isn't mandatory purely from swapping rear shocks, as they don't change ride height or geometry on their own. If you fit new leaf springs at the same time and the rear ride height changes, it's good practice to have the alignment checked. We recommend checking alignment any time suspension components are changed to protect tyre wear.
This listing is for the shock absorbers only, but Toughdog and other brands in our leaf spring range offer different constant load ratings to match accessories like canopies, drawers or water tanks. Choosing the right spring rate depends on what you're carrying day to day rather than your empty vehicle weight. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll help match a spring rate.
Since this shock pair doesn't lift the vehicle on its own, tyre clearance depends on whatever springs or lift kit you're running. If you fit raised leaf springs alongside these shocks for a 1" or 2" rear lift, that additional clearance may allow a larger tyre depending on your rim offset. Check our FAQ page or contact us for tyre sizing specific to your BT50 setup.
This Toughdog Rear Foam Cell shock pair is backed by a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. We handle warranty claims directly for Australian customers, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the foam cell valving is set up to balance load control with everyday comfort, so it's suited to daily commuting as well as towing or touring trips. The twin-tube design and chrome-plated piston rod are built for regular use on both sealed roads and gravel. Many BT50 owners run this pair as their only rear suspension upgrade for day-to-day driving with an occasional load.
