These adjustable shocks feature external dial adjustment that allows you to select the ideal damping setting for your current load and driving conditions. For solo touring with minimal gear, softer settings (1-3 clicks) provide excellent ride comfort on sealed roads. When loaded with camping gear, roof-top tents, or towing a caravan, firmer settings (5-8 clicks) maintain vehicle control and reduce body roll. The adjustment process takes seconds and requires no tools—simply rotate the adjuster dial at the base of each shock absorber to match your requirements.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and maintain optimal handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for bushes and seals to settle before making final damping adjustments. For vehicles lifted beyond 50mm or running larger tyres, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded control arms to restore correct suspension geometry and prevent premature component wear.

These adjustable shocks are ideal for 105 Series LandCruiser owners who demand versatility—touring couples running light to medium loads, families with roof-top tents and drawer systems, or caravan towers requiring load-levelling capability. If you regularly tow near your vehicle's rated capacity or carry constant heavy loads, consider supplementing these shocks with airbag suspension for on-demand rear end support. Perfect for drivers who experience varying load conditions throughout the year and want the ability to optimize ride quality for every journey.

These Toughdog adjustable shocks are specifically engineered for Toyota 105 Series LandCruiser models produced between 1998 and 2007 with independent front suspension (IFS). They're designed for the front axle position only and are a direct replacement for the factory shock absorbers. The 105 Series includes wagon and ute variants with coil spring IFS, and these shocks maintain the correct ride height while providing adjustable damping control. If you have a solid axle 100 Series or later 200 Series LandCruiser, different part numbers are required—contact our team to confirm the exact fitment for your specific build date and variant.
These shock absorbers do not provide any lift height on their own—lift is determined by your spring selection. The shocks are designed with extended travel to accommodate 0-50mm of lift when paired with appropriate raised coil springs or torsion bar adjustments. If you're planning a suspension lift, you'll need to order raised front coil springs separately to achieve your desired height increase. These shocks provide the critical damping control to manage the increased suspension travel that comes with lifted springs. For a complete front lift solution, browse our LandCruiser-specific lift kits that include matched springs and shocks engineered to work together.
This product includes two Toughdog front adjustable shock absorbers with 40mm bore construction, complete with mounting bushes and all necessary hardware for installation. Each shock features an external adjustment mechanism that allows you to dial in your preferred damping setting without removing the shock from the vehicle. Comprehensive fitting instructions are included to guide professional installation. This is a front-only package—rear shocks, springs, and any other suspension components are sold separately. If you're building a complete suspension system, you'll need to order matching rear shocks and appropriate spring upgrades for front and rear axles.
Yes, these adjustable shocks are excellent for towing applications up to your LandCruiser's rated towing capacity of 3500kg. The multi-stage damping adjustment allows you to increase shock firmness when hitched to your caravan, significantly improving stability, reducing body roll through corners, and minimizing nose-dive under braking. When towing, adjust to a firmer setting (typically 6-8 clicks) to maintain vehicle composure and control. For regular heavy towing or if you're approaching maximum tow ball weight limits, consider supplementing these shocks with airbag suspension on the rear axle for additional load support and the ability to maintain level ride height. The combination of adjustable shocks and airbags provides the ultimate towing setup for serious tourers.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory for shock replacement at stock height or modest lifts up to 50mm, but they become increasingly important as lift height increases. If you're lifting your 105 Series beyond 50mm or planning to run significantly larger tyres (33 inches or more), upgraded upper control arms with adjustable caster correction are highly recommended. This maintains proper suspension geometry, prevents excessive ball joint angles, and restores factory-like steering feel and tyre wear patterns. For most touring setups with 0-50mm lift, these shocks work perfectly with factory control arms. Our suspension specialists can assess your complete setup and advise whether control arm upgrades would benefit your specific build and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any new suspension components, including shock absorbers. Even though shocks primarily control damping rather than ride height, the installation process involves disconnecting suspension components which can shift alignment settings. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling characteristics, and prevents premature wear to suspension bushes and ball joints. The alignment should be performed after the vehicle has settled (typically after 100-200km of driving) and any spring sag has stabilized. Budget $150-250 for a quality four-wheel alignment at a specialist 4WD suspension workshop that understands modified LandCruiser geometry requirements.
This product is shock absorbers only—spring rate selection is separate and depends on which coil springs you pair with these shocks. Toughdog and other manufacturers offer multiple spring rates to suit different constant loads, typically categorized as light, medium, or heavy-duty options. Calculate your constant front-end weight including bull bar, winch, steel bumper, long-range fuel tank, and upgraded batteries, then select springs rated for that load plus a safety margin. These adjustable shocks are valved to work effectively across a wide range of spring rates, and their damping adjustability allows you to fine-tune the ride quality to match your chosen springs. Contact our team with your specific accessory list for personalized spring rate recommendations.
These shocks alone do not create additional tyre clearance—tyre fitment depends on your total lift height achieved through spring upgrades, body modifications, and suspension geometry. When paired with appropriate lifted coil springs providing 50mm of lift, most 105 Series LandCruisers can accommodate 285/75R16 tyres (approximately 33 inches) with minimal trimming. Larger tyres may require additional body modifications, wheel offset changes, or suspension travel limiters to prevent tyre contact with body panels at full compression. The adjustable damping on these shocks allows you to control suspension movement and minimize body roll that can contribute to tyre rubbing. For specific tyre fitment advice based on your planned lift height and wheel specifications, consult with our suspension experts before purchasing tyres.
Toughdog backs these adjustable shock absorbers with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. The warranty period and specific terms are detailed in the documentation included with your shocks, and coverage requires professional installation and proper vehicle use within manufacturer specifications. Warranty claims are processed through 4WD Suspension Australia and our authorized warranty network, ensuring fast turnaround if any issues arise. Keep your proof of purchase and installation records, as these are required for any warranty assessment. Toughdog's reputation for quality means warranty claims are rare, but you have full peace of mind knowing your investment is protected by one of Australia's most trusted suspension brands.
Absolutely—these shocks are engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort when adjusted to softer settings, making them perfectly suitable for daily commuting, school runs, and highway touring. The adjustability is the key advantage: set them soft (1-3 clicks) for unladen daily driving to maintain a compliant, comfortable ride that absorbs road imperfections smoothly. When you load up for weekend adventures or hook up the caravan, simply dial in more damping firmness to restore control and stability. This versatility means you're not compromising daily drivability for occasional off-road capability—you get the best of both worlds. Many 105 Series owners who use their LandCruiser as both a daily driver and touring vehicle choose adjustable shocks specifically for this flexibility.
