Tough Dog front shock absorbers for the Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (05/1990-1998) and 105 Series (03/1998-2007), sold per pair. Pick your lift height first - the shock list filters to the matching parts (Foam Cell, 40mm Adjustable, big-bore 45mm Adjustable or the 53mm Ralph).
Shocks are the first thing to give up on a Toyota LandCruiser 80 & 105 that gets worked – tired dampers show up as float over undulations, nose-dive under brakes and a body that keeps rocking after the bump has passed.
The Foam Cell is Tough Dog's twin-tube workhorse: a microcellular foam insert takes the place of the usual air gap inside the shock body, so the oil can't foam up as heat builds and the damping stays consistent on long corrugated stretches. The 40mm Adjustable adds 9-stage adjustable valving – run it softer for unloaded around-town driving, then firm it up when the vehicle is loaded for touring, without taking anything apart. The 45mm big-bore Adjustable carries more oil in a larger body with the same 9-stage adjustment, aimed at vehicles that work harder or carry weight more often. The big-bore Ralph is the largest twin-tube in the range – more oil volume and a bigger piston for sustained heavy touring use.
Shocks are sold and fitted as a pair – replacing one side only gives you uneven damping across the axle. While the old ones are off, check the bushes and mounts; hardware that's had years of flex is cheap to do at the same time.

New to LandCruiser 80/105 Series suspension? Read our LandCruiser 80/105 Series suspension problems guide.
These suit the following applications: Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series 05/1990 - 1998; Toyota LandCruiser 105 Series 03/1998 - 2007. Check your build date and variant against the fitment table on this page – if you're not certain, contact us with your rego or VIN details and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
Foam Cell is the all-round choice for touring – the foam insert stops the oil aerating so damping stays consistent on corrugations. Step up to the 9-stage Adjustable if the vehicle swings between unloaded weekdays and loaded trips and you want to tune the damping to match, or to the bigger-bore options if it works hard, hot and heavy most of the time.
Yes - 75mm and taller lifts need an extended rear brake hose kit: TDBH-003 rubber / TDBH-197 braided (80 & 105 non-ABS), TDBH-300 rubber / TDBH-200 braided (80 Series ABS), TDBH-398 rubber / TDBH-198 braided (105 Series ABS). Contact us to add the right kit to your order.
The listed price covers both sides – always replace left and right together so the axle is evenly damped and sprung. It's a bolt-in job for a competent home mechanic or any workshop; check bushes, mounts and brake-line slack while everything is apart.
