Each shock features an easy-access adjustment knob that allows you to change damping firmness without removing the shock from the vehicle. Start with the mid-range setting for general use, then adjust softer for unladen highway touring or firmer when carrying heavy loads, towing, or tackling corrugated tracks. The adjustment range typically spans 10-12 clicks from softest to firmest, giving you precise control over ride quality. We recommend testing different settings across various driving conditions during your first few hundred kilometres to find your ideal setup for loaded and unloaded configurations.
When ordering shock absorbers as part of a complete suspension upgrade, it's critical to select spring rates based only on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your Tank 300. This includes bull bars, winches, roof racks, canopies, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, and rear bars. Do not factor in occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight, as overspecifying spring rates will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), and upgraded intercoolers or dual battery systems. Rear constant loads typically include canopies (50-100kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers (30-50kg), and rear protection bars (20-40kg). For variable loads like water tanks, fridges, or caravan towing, consider pairing your suspension with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
Professional installation by a qualified automotive technician or 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and optimal performance. While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools can complete the installation, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting any suspension components to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain safe handling characteristics. Allow a 500-kilometre break-in period during which springs will settle and shock absorbers will bed in — ride height and handling characteristics may change slightly during this period. When upgrading to a complete suspension system, consider pairing these rear shocks with upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and maximise the benefits of your investment.

These adjustable rear shocks are perfect for Great Wall Tank 300 owners who demand versatility — weekend tourers who switch between family duties and adventure trips, tradespeople carrying variable loads, and caravan towers seeking improved stability and control. The adjustable damping means you're not locked into a single ride quality compromise; instead, you can adapt your suspension to suit each journey. If you regularly carry heavy loads or tow caravans, consider complementing these shocks with airbag suspension for maximum load support and adjustability without compromising unladen ride quality.

These Toughdog adjustable rear shocks are specifically engineered for Great Wall Tank 300 models from 2020 onwards, covering all current variants. They're a direct bolt-in replacement for factory rear shock absorbers with no modifications required. If you own a 2020 or newer Tank 300 and need rear shock absorbers, this is the correct fitment. For confirmation or if you have a modified vehicle, use our parts finder tool or contact our suspension experts who can verify compatibility based on your specific build and modifications.
These Toughdog shocks feature integrated adjustable damping control, allowing you to change the shock's compression and rebound characteristics without removal from the vehicle. Each shock has an adjustment knob accessible from under the vehicle or through the wheel arch, typically offering 10-12 distinct settings from soft to firm. Simply rotate the adjuster clockwise for firmer damping (better for heavy loads or off-road) or counter-clockwise for softer damping (better for unladen comfort). This means you can optimise ride quality for different loads and driving conditions, making them ideal for vehicles that switch between daily driving and loaded touring.
Yes, these adjustable Toughdog rear shocks are excellent for towing applications with the Great Wall Tank 300. The adjustable damping allows you to firm up the rear suspension when hitched to a caravan or trailer, reducing body roll, rear squat, and improving overall stability and control. For even better towing performance, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded rear springs rated for your constant accessory load, or add airbag suspension for variable load adjustment. The ability to adjust damping means you can run softer settings when not towing for better daily comfort, then firm them up when you hitch up for weekend trips.
Yes, this kit includes two Toughdog adjustable rear shock absorbers (one for each side), along with all necessary mounting bushes and hardware for installation. Both shocks are identically valved and feature the same adjustment range, ensuring balanced performance across the rear axle. This is a rear-only shock absorber kit; if you need a complete suspension upgrade including front shocks, springs, or other components, browse our full range or contact our team for a tailored package to suit your Tank 300's requirements and your intended use.
While mechanically competent DIY enthusiasts with appropriate tools, vehicle jacks, and safety equipment can install these shocks, professional installation by a qualified technician is strongly recommended. The installation involves working under a raised vehicle, removing and replacing suspension components under tension, and ensuring correct torque specifications are met. A wheel alignment is mandatory after any suspension work to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain safe handling. If you're experienced with suspension work and have the proper equipment, installation is straightforward; otherwise, book with a local 4WD specialist or mechanic who can complete the job safely and correctly.
Not necessarily — these Toughdog adjustable rear shocks can be fitted as a direct replacement for worn factory shocks while retaining your existing springs if they're still in good condition. However, if your Tank 300 carries significant constant accessory weight (bull bar, canopy, drawers, dual batteries, etc.), or if your factory springs are sagging, upgrading to heavy-duty or raised coil springs is highly recommended to restore ride height and improve load-carrying capacity. Many customers choose to upgrade shocks and springs together for a complete rear suspension refresh. Contact us to discuss your specific setup and load requirements for personalised recommendations.
These Toughdog adjustable rear shocks are covered by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies by component type and usage, so refer to the warranty documentation included with your purchase or contact our team for specific coverage details. Toughdog stands behind their products with confidence, having proven their durability across decades of Australian touring and off-road use. Warranty claims are processed through 4WD Suspension Australia, and our team will assist you through any issues to ensure you're back on the road quickly.
These Toughdog adjustable shocks offer significant performance improvements over factory Tank 300 shock absorbers through several key upgrades: advanced foam cell technology eliminates fade during extended use, larger bore design handles heat better, adjustable damping lets you optimise for different loads and conditions, and heavy-duty construction provides superior durability on corrugated and rough terrain. Where factory shocks offer a fixed compromise between comfort and control, these adjustable units let you dial in the perfect balance for each journey. If you're planning any touring, towing, or off-road use, the upgrade is well worth the investment for improved capability, comfort, and longevity.
Start with the mid-range adjustment setting (typically 5-6 clicks from full soft) for general daily driving and light loads. This provides a good baseline balance between comfort and control for most Tank 300 applications. From there, adjust softer (rotate counter-clockwise) if the ride feels too firm when unladen, or firmer (rotate clockwise) when carrying heavy loads, towing, or tackling rough corrugated tracks. It's worth experimenting across the full adjustment range during your first few hundred kilometres to understand how each setting affects ride quality. Most owners settle on 2-3 favourite settings: soft for empty highway cruising, medium for daily use with typical gear, and firm for fully loaded touring or serious off-road work.
Absolutely — these Toughdog adjustable shocks significantly enhance off-road capability compared to standard Tank 300 shock absorbers. The foam cell technology prevents fade during extended corrugated track use, maintaining consistent damping when factory shocks would overheat and lose control. Adjustable damping lets you firm up for high-speed desert runs or rock crawling, reducing body roll and maintaining wheel contact with uneven terrain. The heavy-duty construction handles the punishment of Australian outback conditions, from bulldust to river crossings, while the quality seals prevent contamination that would degrade factory shocks prematurely. Whether you're touring Cape York, crossing the Simpson, or exploring local tracks, these shocks will transform your Tank 300's capability and confidence off-road.
Perfect for our loaded Tank300
Fitted these Toughdog adjustable rear shocks before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. With the camper trailer, kids' gear, and all our camping setup, the rear end used to sag pretty badly, but now we can dial in the perfect height and the ride quality is brilliant even when fully loaded. Really impressed with the quality for the price point, and they were straightforward enough to install in the driveway.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Tank 300
Fitted these Toughdog adjustable rear shocks before our last trip down to the High Country and the difference in ride quality with a loaded camper trailer is night and day. Being able to dial in the perfect setting for different loads has made such a difference – the kids actually sleep better in the back now on corrugated roads. Really impressed with the build quality and they were straightforward to install on the weekend.(5)
