When pairing these adjustable shocks with replacement or upgraded rear springs, it's critical to select spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle. Common rear accessories that affect spring selection include aluminium or steel canopies, steel trays, toolboxes, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, drawer systems, and fixed cargo barriers. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, firewood, or periodic towing should not be factored into spring rate selection, as over-sprung suspension results in harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on other suspension components. If you regularly tow heavy trailers or carry variable loads, consider pairing these shocks with airbag suspension for adjustable load support without compromising unladen ride comfort.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced DIY enthusiast is recommended for fitting these adjustable rear shocks. Installation time is approximately 1-2 hours and requires standard workshop tools including spring compressors if replacing rear springs simultaneously. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct tracking, even tyre wear, and optimal handling characteristics. All Toughdog shocks require a 500km break-in period during which damping performance will settle and improve — avoid harsh off-road driving during this initial period. If you're upgrading from factory suspension or increasing lift height beyond 40mm, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle and maintain steering geometry for optimal on-road handling and reduced tyre wear.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's most trusted 4WD suspension brand through decades of real-world testing across the harshest outback conditions. Every Toughdog component is engineered to handle extreme heat, corrugations, dust, heavy loads and relentless touring — the exact conditions Australian tradies, grey nomads and adventure tourers face daily. Backed by comprehensive Australian warranty and supported by a nationwide network of fitment specialists and stockists, Toughdog delivers proven reliability whether you're hauling tools to remote mine sites or towing your family caravan across the Nullarbor. Explore the full Toughdog suspension range including complete lift kits, springs, and steering components designed to work together as a complete system.
These adjustable rear shocks are ideal for Triton MV owners who demand versatility — tradies running heavy canopies and tools during the week who still want comfortable touring on weekends, caravan owners needing firm damping for towing stability, and off-road adventurers tackling corrugated tracks with camping gear loaded. If you frequently switch between unladen daily driving and heavy payload work, the 9-stage adjustment lets you optimise ride quality in seconds without tools. For maximum load-carrying flexibility, pair these shocks with airbag suspension to handle variable loads while maintaining factory-like ride comfort when empty.

These Toughdog adjustable rear shocks are engineered specifically for the Mitsubishi Triton MV series (2024-onwards) across all body configurations including Single Cab, Club Cab, and Dual Cab variants. They're designed as direct factory replacements and will fit both standard height and lifted Triton MV models up to 50mm rear lift. If you're unsure about your exact model year or have fitted aftermarket suspension components, our team can confirm fitment compatibility before you order. These shocks work with factory leaf springs or aftermarket heavy-duty leaf spring upgrades.
These are replacement shock absorbers only and do not provide any lift height by themselves — lift is determined by your leaf springs. However, they're designed with extended travel to accommodate 40-50mm rear lift configurations when paired with raised leaf springs. The adjustable damping allows you to fine-tune ride characteristics whether running factory height or a lifted setup. If you're looking to add lift height to your Triton MV, you'll need to upgrade your rear leaf springs simultaneously — our team can recommend the correct spring rate and lift combination for your specific load requirements and intended use.
This package includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog adjustable nitrogen gas charged rear shock absorbers with foam cell technology, complete with heavy-duty mounting bushings, hardware, and detailed installation instructions. Each shock features an external 9-stage damping adjustment dial that requires no tools to operate. The package includes everything needed to replace your rear shocks, but does not include front shocks, leaf springs, U-bolts, shackles, or control arms — these components are available separately. If you're building a complete suspension system, consider our full lift kits which bundle shocks and springs at package pricing.
Absolutely — the 9-stage adjustable damping is specifically designed to handle the varying demands of towing heavy caravans, boat trailers, and plant equipment. When towing, you can dial the damping to a firmer setting (stages 7-9) to eliminate rear-end sway, reduce porpoising, and maintain stability at highway speeds with a loaded towball. When unladen, simply adjust back to softer settings (stages 1-3) for comfortable daily driving. For maximum towing capability and load leveling, many Triton owners pair these adjustable shocks with airbag suspension which provides independent height and load adjustment. The foam cell technology prevents shock fade during extended highway towing in hot Australian conditions.
Control arm upgrades are not required when replacing factory shocks with these Toughdog adjustable units at standard ride height. However, if you're installing a 40mm+ lift kit with raised leaf springs at the same time, upgraded rear upper control arms or adjustable panhard rods may be beneficial to correct rear axle alignment and prevent side-loading on the axle. For the Triton MV platform, most suspension geometry correction happens at the front end with castor-correcting upper control arms. Our suspension specialists can assess your complete setup including lift height, load requirements, and intended use to recommend whether additional components would benefit your specific application and ensure optimal handling characteristics.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after any shock absorber replacement, even if you're not changing springs or adding lift height. While shock absorbers don't directly affect alignment angles, the installation process can disturb suspension geometry, and any existing alignment issues will become more apparent with new, properly-functioning dampers. The alignment ensures correct toe, camber and castor settings which are critical for even tyre wear, predictable handling, and steering stability. Most alignment shops charge $120-180 for a full 4WD alignment. If you're also installing lifted springs or adjusting ride height, the alignment becomes even more critical to account for changed suspension geometry and ensure your Triton tracks straight and true.
One of the key benefits of these Toughdog adjustable shocks is that you can change damping settings yourself in seconds without any tools. The adjustment dial is located externally on top of each shock absorber and can be rotated by hand through 9 distinct positions from soft (1) to firm (9). You'll feel positive clicks as you rotate between settings. This allows you to optimise ride quality based on current load conditions — run softer settings for empty daily driving, medium settings for moderate loads, and firm settings when towing or carrying heavy payloads. There's no wrong setting to experiment with, and you can adjust as often as needed. Many owners keep their shocks at medium settings (4-5) for all-around versatility and only adjust for extreme load variations.
These rear shock absorbers alone won't increase tyre clearance, as lift height and tyre fitment are determined by your springs and body/guard clearances rather than shock absorbers. However, when paired with 40-50mm lift leaf springs, you can typically fit 32-33 inch tyres on the Triton MV platform with minimal or no trimming, depending on wheel offset and tyre width. The adjustable damping of these Toughdog shocks will help control the additional unsprung weight of larger tyres and maintain ride quality. For accurate tyre fitment advice specific to your desired wheel and tyre combination, lift height, and any guard modifications, contact our team who can provide detailed clearance information based on real-world customer installations and testing.
Toughdog backs these adjustable rear shock absorbers with a comprehensive Australian manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty period and specific terms are detailed in the documentation included with your shocks and registered at time of purchase. Toughdog's warranty is supported by their Australian head office and nationwide dealer network, ensuring you have local support if any issues arise. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not cover damage from incorrect installation, accident, misuse, or normal wear and tear. To maintain warranty validity, shocks must be installed by a qualified mechanic or experienced installer following Toughdog's fitting instructions, and the vehicle must not exceed its Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) rating.
Yes — these adjustable shocks excel at daily driving and long-distance highway touring, which is where their versatility truly shines. The 9-stage adjustment lets you dial in comfortable damping for unladen highway cruising (softer settings 1-4) that soaks up bumps and reduces fatigue on long trips, while still having the ability to firm up damping (settings 6-9) when loaded with camping gear or towing a caravan. The foam cell technology prevents fade during extended corrugated road driving common on outback touring routes. Many Triton MV owners report significantly improved ride comfort compared to worn factory shocks, with better control over body roll, improved steering response, and reduced harshness over rough roads. The adjustability means you're not compromising — you can have comfortable daily driving and capable load-carrying performance in the same shock absorber.
