Yes, this pair of Toughdog Adjustable Rear Shocks is built specifically for the Dodge Ram 2500 DJ II built from 2020 onward. They bolt directly to the factory rear mounting points with no drilling or bracket modification required. If you're unsure of your exact build date or series, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This is a shock absorber upgrade, not a lift kit, so it doesn't add ride height on its own. The shocks are valved to work at factory rear ride height or alongside a moderate spring-based lift if you're running raised leaf springs. If you want actual lift, pair these with our leaf springs range for the DJ II.
You get 2 x Toughdog Adjustable Rear Shock Absorbers with the external damping adjustment collar pre-fitted, plus mounting bushes, sleeves and hardware for both sides. Fitting instructions are included in the box. Front shocks, springs and control arms are sold separately.
Yes. The external damping adjustment lets you firm up rear control when you've got a caravan or heavy trailer on the towbar, then wind it back for unladen driving. The foam cell monotube design also resists heat fade over longer tows compared to a basic twin-tube shock. Matching your rear spring rate to your typical tow ball weight will get the best result from the adjustable range.
Not for a rear shock replacement at factory ride height — these shocks bolt straight to the existing rear mounts. If you're also raising the front end with a lift kit, upgraded control arms help correct front suspension geometry at height. For a rear-only shock swap on the DJ II, standard control arms are unaffected.
Yes. Any time suspension components are changed, including a shock absorber swap, we recommend a wheel alignment to check caster, camber and toe against factory specification. This protects tyre wear and keeps steering feel consistent. It's a standard step your fitter should include as part of installation.
These shocks aren't sold with springs, so spring rate is a separate decision based on what your Ram 2500 carries day-to-day. Heavier constant loads like a canopy, dual battery tray or caravan hitch weight suit a firmer rear spring rate to work with the adjustable damping. Our team can talk you through matching a rear leaf spring rate to your accessory load.
As a shock-only upgrade at factory ride height, this product doesn't create extra tyre clearance on its own. Tyre clearance depends on your rim offset, tyre width and whether you've fitted raised springs elsewhere in the suspension. If you're planning larger tyres, talk to us about pairing these shocks with a spring-based lift for the DJ II.
These shocks are covered by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. We handle warranty claims locally through our Australian stock rather than requiring you to deal with an overseas supplier. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes. With the damping adjustment set softer, these shocks are comfortable for everyday driving when the vehicle is unladen. Wind the adjustment up when you're towing or carrying a load, then back off again for the commute. This flexibility is the main reason to choose an adjustable shock over a fixed-rate unit for a dual-purpose Ram 2500.
