Tough Dog front struts for the Isuzu D-MAX RG (August 2020 on, excludes Blade), supporting up to 40mm of lift. Sold as a pair, strut only - re-use your coils and strut tops or add Tough Dog raised coils. Foam Cell (FC404929) or 9-position Adjustable (BM404929).
These are bare strut cartridges for the Isuzu D-MAX RG & Mazda BT-50 TF 2020-On – the damper only, for vehicles where the existing coils and strut tops are staying. If your coils are original or sagging, look at the assembled option instead so the whole corner goes back together fresh.
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.
Sold as a pair. Strut replacement disturbs the front geometry, so a wheel alignment afterwards is part of the job.

Genuine Tough Dog suspension from an authorised Australian dealer.
No - the Blade edition runs different factory suspension and is excluded. All other RG D-MAX 2020-on models are covered.
Yes - the same FC404929 / BM404929 struts are specified for the RG 4x2 model at OEM height.
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 - the 2020-on Mazda BT-50 TF is built on the Isuzu D-MAX RG platform and Tough Dog specifies identical part numbers for both. This listing covers the D-MAX RG (excluding Blade) and the BT-50 TF 08/2020 onwards.
