When upgrading your T60's suspension, selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride comfort. Springs should be matched to your typical constant accessory weight — the combined mass of permanently fitted equipment you carry every day. Common front accessories affecting spring selection include steel bullbars, winches, upgraded intercoolers, heavy-duty batteries, driving lights, and steel replacement bonnet panels. Rear spring rates must account for canopies, toolboxes, drawer systems, dual spare wheel carriers, long-range fuel tanks, and water tanks for touring setups.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installing new struts to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain proper steering geometry — this is not optional and should be performed by a workshop with 4WD-specific alignment equipment. A 500-kilometre break-in period allows seals, bushings, and damping components to properly seat and perform at their designed capacity. For T60 owners lifting their vehicle or carrying significant loads, pairing these struts with upgraded control arms maintains correct suspension geometry and maximizes component longevity.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of proven performance in the harshest conditions our continent offers.

These struts are ideal for LDV T60 owners who use their ute as a genuine workhorse — tradespeople carrying heavy tools and equipment, mobile service operators with fitted-out trays, and commercial fleet managers seeking durability and value. They're equally suited to touring enthusiasts running roof-top tents, dual battery systems, and loaded canopies for extended outback adventures. If you regularly tow caravans, work trailers, or heavy plant equipment, consider complementing these struts with airbag suspension for the ultimate in load-leveling capability and towing stability.

These Toughdog front struts are designed to fit all LDV T60 variants including the standard T60, T60 Max, and T60 Trailrider models from 2017 to current production. They're compatible with both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations fitted with the 2.8L turbo diesel engine. If you've made significant modifications to your vehicle or are unsure about specific fitment details for your build date, our suspension experts can verify compatibility before you order. We recommend checking your vehicle's compliance plate and current suspension setup to ensure perfect fitment.
These are replacement struts designed to restore or maintain your vehicle's factory ride height rather than provide additional lift. They work with your existing springs to deliver superior damping performance compared to worn factory units. If you're looking to increase ride height on your T60, you'll need to pair these struts with upgraded coil springs specifically rated for lift applications. The amount of lift achieved depends on the spring rate selected — typically ranging from 25mm to 50mm depending on your constant accessory weight and intended use.
This kit includes two complete Toughdog foam cell front struts (left and right side), protective dust boots, bump stops, premium grade seals and bushings, plus manufacturer warranty documentation. The struts are designed to work with your existing factory top mounts and spring seats, which are reused during installation. All internal valving, gas charging, and damper components are pre-assembled and ready to install. You'll need to transfer your existing springs onto these new struts unless you're upgrading springs at the same time, in which case new springs are purchased separately.
Yes, these Toughdog struts are specifically engineered to handle the LDV T60's rated towing capacity with improved stability and control compared to factory suspension. The foam cell technology maintains consistent damping even under the increased load and heat generated during extended towing, reducing vehicle sway and improving braking stability when hauling caravans, trailers, or work equipment. For maximum towing performance, particularly with heavy vans or loads approaching your vehicle's 3000kg towing limit, consider complementing these struts with airbag suspension at the rear for load-leveling capability. Always ensure your springs are correctly rated for your typical towing setup and constant accessory weight.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory when fitting these struts at standard ride height, as they're designed to work within factory suspension geometry. However, if you're also installing lifted springs (typically 40mm or more), upgraded control arms become important to maintain correct castor angles, reduce ball joint and CV joint wear, and preserve steering feel. For T60 owners carrying very heavy constant loads or frequently touring on corrugated outback tracks, heavy-duty control arms can provide additional durability and articulation benefits even at stock height. Our suspension experts can advise whether control arm upgrades suit your specific setup and usage requirements.
Yes, wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing new front struts and must not be skipped. Even though these are direct replacements, the installation process affects suspension geometry, and new components need to be set to manufacturer specifications for proper steering, tyre wear, and vehicle handling. Use a workshop with 4WD-specific alignment equipment who can accurately measure and adjust castor, camber, and toe settings according to LDV specifications. Proper alignment also ensures your new struts can perform at their designed capacity and prevents premature wear to other suspension components, tyres, and steering parts.
These struts are sold as a pair without springs included, giving you complete flexibility to select spring rates matched precisely to your LDV T60's constant accessory weight. Toughdog offers multiple spring options designed for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications — from lightly modified vehicles through to fully loaded touring rigs with bullbars, winches, and heavy canopies. Your spring rate selection should be based on permanently fitted accessories you carry every day, not occasional loads. Our team can help you calculate your front and rear constant weights and recommend the ideal spring rates to achieve optimal ride height, comfort, and load-carrying capability for your specific setup.
These struts alone won't increase tyre clearance since they're replacement dampers rather than lift components. To fit larger tyres on your LDV T60, you'll need to install raised springs in conjunction with these struts to increase ride height and create additional clearance in the wheel arches. Typically, a 40-50mm lift combined with appropriate wheel offset allows fitment of 31-32 inch tyres without significant rubbing issues. Tyre size potential also depends on wheel width, offset, and whether you're willing to perform minor guard trimming. For maximum tyre clearance, some T60 owners also upgrade to aftermarket wheels with more suitable offset for larger rubber.
Toughdog provides comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage on these struts, protecting against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms typically cover replacement or repair of faulty components when used in accordance with manufacturer specifications and normal operating conditions. To maintain warranty validity, struts must be installed by a qualified technician following correct procedures, and the vehicle must not exceed its Gross Vehicle Mass or Gross Combined Mass ratings. Keep your purchase receipt and installation documentation, as these will be required for any warranty claims. For specific warranty duration and terms applicable to this product, contact us directly or review the documentation included with your struts.
Absolutely — these Toughdog struts excel in daily driving and highway conditions while also delivering capability for off-road adventures and work site use. The foam cell technology provides a comfortable, controlled ride for commuting, school runs, and long-distance highway touring without the harsh ride sometimes associated with heavy-duty suspension. They significantly improve handling and stability compared to worn factory struts, reducing body roll in corners and providing better steering response. Whether you're cruising at 110km/h on the highway or navigating city traffic with a loaded tray, these struts maintain excellent comfort while being ready to handle demanding off-road tracks and heavy loads whenever required.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these Toughdog front struts to our LDV T60 before our last trip down the Murray and the difference was immediately noticeable. The ride is so much smoother on corrugated tracks, and the kids aren't complaining about being bounced around anymore.

Perfect upgrade for my work T60
Been running these Toughdog struts on my T60 for about three months now and they've made a massive difference hauling tools and materials around site. The ride's way more controlled when loaded up compared to the factory setup, and they handled the tracks down to Gippsland without any dramas. Well worth the money for anyone who actually uses their ute for work.(5)
Proper gear for serious outback work
Been running these Toughdog struts on my T60 for six months now, including a solid trip through the Simpson and regular runs out to Birdsville. The foam cell design handles corrugations so much better than the factory units, and they're still performing perfectly after copping an absolute hammering on the rougher tracks. Build quality is spot on and they've transformed how the front end handles when loaded up with gear and water.(5)
Proper upgrade for our family camping rig
Fitted these Toughdog struts to our T60 before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference was immediately noticeable. The ride is much more composed over corrugations and the front end doesn't dive as much when loaded up with camping gear and the kids' stuff. Really happy with the quality for the price point, and they've handled everything from highway cruising to beach tracks without any dramas.(5)
Massive improvement over the factory struts
Been running these Toughdog front struts on my T60 for about three months now, loaded up with tools and equipment daily. The difference in ride quality is night and day - no more bouncing around on corrugated roads heading to sites, and the front end sits level even with a full load. Well worth the money and they went in without any dramas.(5)
