This kit is specifically designed for NP300 Navara models fitted with coil rear suspension (not leaf spring models). Not sure if this fits your vehicle? Use our parts finder for all Navara NP300 suspension components or contact our suspension experts for personalised fitment advice.
While these front struts are suitable for most Navara NP300 applications, selecting the correct spring rate for your rear coil springs is critical for optimal performance based on your typical load configuration. Common front accessories that affect spring selection include steel bullbars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries, and heavy-duty canopies. Rear accessories impacting spring choice include dual battery systems, drawer systems, water tanks, rooftop tents, and towing equipment. Calculate your constant accessory weight (items fitted permanently, not occasional cargo) to determine whether standard, medium, or heavy-duty spring rates will deliver the best ride height and handling characteristics.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced DIY enthusiast with appropriate spring compressor tools is recommended for safe and correct fitment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain safe handling characteristics. All suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which the ride may feel firm as components settle and seat properly. For vehicles with significant front-end weight from bullbars and winches, consider pairing these struts with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle and restore factory geometry for optimal steering feel and tyre wear patterns.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of proven performance across the continent's most demanding conditions, from Cape York's brutal corrugations to the Simpson Desert's relentless sand dunes. Every component is engineered with input from Australian off-road professionals and tested extensively in real-world touring scenarios, not just laboratory conditions. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of specialists, the full Toughdog suspension range represents the gold standard trusted by tradespeople, touring families, and serious four-wheel drivers who refuse to compromise on reliability.
These front struts are ideal for Navara NP300 owners who've added accessories and noticed front-end sag, tradespeople carrying constant tool and equipment loads, touring enthusiasts planning extended outback trips with roof-mounted gear, and daily drivers seeking improved handling precision and ride comfort over factory worn components. If you regularly tow caravans or trailers, combining these struts with airbag suspension at the rear provides ultimate load-leveling capability and adjustability for varying payload configurations throughout your travels.
Upgrade your Nissan Navara NP300's front suspension with confidence knowing you're installing genuine Australian-engineered components backed by expert support and fast dispatch from local stock. Whether you're building the ultimate tourer, restoring factory ride height, or simply replacing worn factory struts, Toughdog delivers proven performance that won't let you down when you're hundreds of kilometers from the nearest workshop.

These front struts are specifically engineered for Nissan Navara NP300 models (2015-onwards) fitted with coil rear suspension only. They will NOT fit NP300 models with leaf spring rear suspension, which require different part numbers. If you're unsure which rear suspension configuration your Navara has, coil rear models feature independent rear suspension with coil springs visible near the rear wheels, while leaf spring models have traditional leaf packs. You can confirm fitment by checking your vehicle's build plate or contacting our team with your VIN number for definitive confirmation.
These are shock absorbers/struts designed to support and control suspension movement rather than provide lift height themselves—lift is primarily determined by your spring choice. When paired with appropriate lifted coil springs, these struts will accommodate and control suspension travel for lifts typically ranging from 0-50mm depending on your spring selection. If you've installed a bullbar and winch causing front-end sag, these struts combined with upgraded springs will restore factory ride height or provide a modest lift. For specific lift recommendations based on your accessories and intended use, our suspension specialists can recommend the ideal spring and strut combination.
This kit includes a pair (2 units) of Toughdog heavy-duty front suspension struts complete with all necessary mounting hardware and bushings for direct bolt-in installation. These are nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers featuring premium seals, corrosion-resistant finish, and high-quality internal components built to exceed factory specifications. Please note this is a front strut kit only—rear shocks or springs are sold separately and must be ordered as individual components. If you're building a complete suspension upgrade, you'll need to order matching rear components and potentially upgraded coil springs separately based on your load requirements.
Yes, these Toughdog front struts significantly improve towing stability and safety compared to worn factory shocks by reducing front-end dive under braking and maintaining better steering precision when hauling heavy loads. The enhanced damping control keeps your Navara's front end stable even when towing at highway speeds or navigating winding roads with a caravan in tow. However, for optimal towing performance, you should also address your rear suspension—the coil rear NP300 particularly benefits from upgraded rear shocks and consideration of airbag assistance for load-leveling capability when tongue weight varies. Properly matched front and rear suspension upgrades deliver the safest and most comfortable towing experience.
Control arm upgrades aren't mandatory for these struts alone, but become important if you're also lifting your Navara with taller springs or if you've installed heavy front-end accessories like steel bullbars and winches. Aftermarket upper control arms with adjustable geometry help correct castor angle after lifting, preventing issues like wandering steering, uneven tyre wear, and reduced steering returnability. If you're simply replacing worn factory shocks with these Toughdog struts at stock height, factory control arms are typically adequate. Our suspension experts can assess your specific build and accessory load to recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular configuration and driving requirements.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension components including shock absorbers and struts. Even though you're replacing like-for-like components, the installation process can affect suspension geometry settings, and worn bushings in other components may have been compensating for alignment issues that become apparent with fresh suspension. Proper four-wheel alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling characteristics, straight-line tracking, and safe vehicle dynamics. Budget $150-250 for professional alignment at a reputable suspension or tyre specialist familiar with 4WD vehicles, and consider requesting a before-and-after alignment printout to confirm all specifications are within manufacturer tolerances.
This SKU specifically covers the front strut/shock absorber components which have fixed internal valving optimized for the NP300 Navara's weight and suspension geometry. Spring rate selection applies to your coil springs rather than the struts themselves—when ordering springs separately, you'll choose between standard, medium (constant load), or heavy-duty rates based on your permanent accessory weight. These Toughdog struts are valved to perform well across the typical spring rate range for Navara NP300 applications, from lightly accessorized daily drivers through to heavily equipped touring builds. For specific spring rate recommendations based on your bullbar, canopy, and equipment fit-out, contact our team with your accessory list for personalized guidance.
These front struts alone don't determine tyre clearance—that's primarily controlled by your lift height (spring choice) and whether you have aftermarket upper control arms or body/chassis modifications. The NP300 Navara with a 40-50mm lift typically accommodates 265/70R17 or 265/75R16 tyres (approximately 32 inches) with minimal to no trimming, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset and whether you've installed aftermarket guards. If you're planning significantly larger tyres (33 inches plus), you'll likely need a more comprehensive lift kit including springs, extended shocks, and potentially diff drops or body lifts. Our parts finder system can help you identify the complete suspension components needed to safely accommodate your target tyre size.
Toughdog suspension components are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind in your investment. Specific warranty duration and conditions are provided with your components and typically require installation by a qualified mechanic with proof of purchase retained. Warranty claims are handled through our support team who will coordinate directly with Toughdog to ensure rapid resolution if any manufacturing defects are identified. Note that warranty doesn't cover wear-and-tear from normal use, damage from incorrect installation, or failure due to accident or abuse—proper installation and maintenance per manufacturer specifications is essential to maintain warranty validity.
Absolutely—these Toughdog struts are specifically engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort for daily commuting and highway touring while simultaneously providing the durability and control needed for off-road adventures when the weekend arrives. The precision valving eliminates the harsh, truck-like ride associated with budget suspension while maintaining body control through corners and over undulations at highway speeds. Many Navara owners report noticeably improved ride quality compared to worn factory shocks, with reduced body roll, better bump absorption, and more confident handling in all conditions. Whether you're driving to the job site Monday through Friday or heading bush on weekends, these struts deliver versatile performance without compromise.
