The adjustable damping feature on these Toughdog shocks allows you to dial in the perfect ride for your specific load and driving conditions. Start with the middle damping setting for everyday driving, then increase damping firmness when carrying heavy loads, towing a camper trailer, or tackling aggressive off-road terrain. Reduce damping for lighter loads or when you want a more compliant ride over corrugated tracks. This adjustability means you never have to compromise between comfort and control - simply adjust to suit your current requirements.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety. While experienced DIY enthusiasts can perform the installation, proper lifting equipment, torque wrenches, and mechanical knowledge are essential. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry and tyre wear patterns. Allow a 500km break-in period for the shocks to settle and reach optimal performance - during this time you may notice the ride continuing to improve. For complete suspension upgrades, consider pairing these rear shocks with upgraded control arms to maintain proper suspension geometry when running lifted springs.

These adjustable rear shocks are ideal for Jeep JL Wrangler owners who demand versatility from their suspension setup - whether you're a weekday commuter who escapes for weekend touring adventures, a tradesperson carrying varying loads throughout the week, or a serious off-road enthusiast tackling challenging tracks across Australia. The adjustable damping makes them perfect for caravan and camper trailer towers who need firmer control under load but want comfort when driving empty. For those carrying extremely heavy constant loads or frequent towing, consider supplementing with airbag suspension for additional load support and ride height adjustment capability.

These Toughdog rear adjustable shocks are specifically engineered to fit all Jeep JL Wrangler variants from 2018 onwards, including Sport, Overland, and Rubicon models in both 2-door and 4-door configurations. They're designed as direct bolt-on replacements for your factory rear shocks using the standard mounting points with no modifications required. If you have a heavily modified Wrangler with significant lift or custom suspension geometry, we recommend contacting our team to confirm fitment. These shocks work perfectly with both stock suspension and when paired with aftermarket lift springs up to 2-3 inches.
These Toughdog shocks feature multiple damping adjustment settings controlled by a knob accessible at the top of each shock absorber. You can easily adjust the damping firmness to suit your current load and driving conditions - softer settings for empty vehicles and comfortable touring, firmer settings for heavy loads, towing, or aggressive off-road driving. The adjustment can be made without removing the shocks, though access may vary depending on your vehicle's configuration. Most drivers find the middle setting ideal for everyday driving, then adjust up or down based on specific needs. This adjustability eliminates the compromise between comfort and control that fixed-rate shocks require.
This package includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog adjustable rear shock absorbers - one for the left side and one for the right side of your Jeep JL Wrangler. Each shock comes with the adjustable damping control pre-installed, along with all necessary mounting bushes and hardware required for installation. Comprehensive fitting instructions and warranty documentation are also included. Note that this is a rear-only shock package - front shocks are sold separately if you're looking to upgrade your complete suspension system. Lift springs are also sold separately and can be matched to these shocks for a complete rear suspension upgrade.
Absolutely - the adjustable damping feature makes these Toughdog shocks particularly well-suited for towing applications with your Jeep JL Wrangler. When towing a camper trailer or caravan, simply adjust the damping to a firmer setting to improve load control, reduce rear-end sag, and maintain better stability and handling. The increased damping helps control the additional weight and movement of the trailer, reducing sway and improving braking performance. When you're not towing, dial the damping back down for a more comfortable ride. For very heavy towing applications or frequent heavy loads, consider supplementing these shocks with airbag suspension for additional load support and variable ride height adjustment.
If you're installing these shocks with your factory springs or a mild lift (up to 2 inches), your factory control arms will generally work fine and upgrading is not immediately necessary. However, if you're planning a larger lift kit of 2-3+ inches or want to improve your suspension geometry and articulation, upgraded adjustable control arms are highly recommended. Aftermarket control arms can correct caster angles affected by lifting, reduce bump steer, and provide additional wheel travel for improved off-road capability. Many Jeep JL Wrangler owners choose to upgrade control arms at the same time as shocks and springs for a complete suspension package. Our team can advise on the best control arm options for your specific lift height and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension components including shock absorbers on your Jeep JL Wrangler. While replacing shocks doesn't dramatically alter suspension geometry like springs or control arms do, the installation process involves disconnecting suspension components that can shift alignment settings. A proper alignment ensures your steering is centered, tyre wear is even, and handling characteristics are optimized. The alignment should be performed after installation is complete and the vehicle has been lowered to the ground with weight on the suspension. Most alignment shops familiar with 4WD vehicles will also check and adjust camber, caster, and toe settings to manufacturer specifications or your preferred settings for your specific use case.
These Toughdog rear adjustable shocks are designed to work with a wide range of spring rates, from factory springs through to heavy-duty lifted springs with increased load ratings. The adjustable damping feature gives you the flexibility to match the shock performance to your chosen spring rate - softer damping for lighter springs, firmer damping for heavier-duty springs or loaded conditions. When selecting springs to pair with these shocks, consider your typical load including常 accessories like roof-top tents, rear bars, drawers, water tanks, and recovery equipment. We can help you select the appropriate spring rate based on your constant accessory weight and intended use - whether that's daily driving, touring, serious off-roading, or trade use with regular heavy loads.
These rear shocks are designed to work with lift springs that can accommodate larger tyres on your Jeep JL Wrangler, though the shocks themselves don't provide lift - that comes from the springs. When paired with appropriate 2-3 inch lift springs, most JL Wranglers can comfortably fit 33-35 inch tyres with minimal to no rubbing, depending on wheel offset and specific tyre choice. The improved damping control and articulation from these shocks will help manage the increased unsprung weight of larger tyres. For maximum tyre clearance, you may also need to consider trimming or aftermarket fender flares. The Rubicon model typically offers more clearance than Sport or Overland variants. Contact us with your desired tyre size and wheel specifications for personalized fitment advice for your specific Wrangler model.
These Toughdog rear adjustable shocks are backed by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, providing peace of mind for your investment in quality suspension components. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal operating conditions and proper installation. Warranty terms vary based on application type - recreational use typically receives longer coverage than commercial applications. To maintain warranty validity, shocks must be installed by a qualified technician following proper procedures, and the vehicle should not exceed specified GVM or be subjected to extreme abuse. Keep your proof of purchase and installation documentation. Toughdog has a strong reputation for standing behind their products with excellent Australian-based warranty support and customer service.
These Toughdog rear adjustable shocks excel at both daily driving and off-road use - that versatility is exactly what the adjustable damping feature provides. For daily driving, commuting, and highway touring, set the damping to a softer or medium setting to enjoy comfortable ride quality that rivals or exceeds your factory shocks. When you head off-road on weekends or holidays, firm up the damping for improved control over rough terrain, better articulation, and reduced body roll. Unlike fixed-rate off-road shocks that can be harsh on sealed roads, these adjustable shocks let you have the best of both worlds. Many Jeep JL Wrangler owners run them in the middle setting permanently and only adjust for specific circumstances like heavy loads or particularly challenging tracks.
Best upgrade I've done to the Jeep
Had these Toughdog adjustable shocks fitted to my JL about three months back and they've been brilliant for daily work commutes plus weekend trips down to the coast. The adjustable damping is dead easy to dial in - softer for the highway run, firmer when I'm loaded up with tools and gear. Noticed a massive difference in how planted the rear end feels, especially on corrugated dirt roads heading out to sites.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Finally upgraded to these Toughdog adjustable rear shocks after our last trip to the High Country and the difference is night and day. The kids actually stopped complaining about the rough ride on corrugated tracks, and being able to dial in the damping makes such a difference between highway cruising and when we're loaded up with camping gear. Fitment was spot-on for our JL and installation was straightforward enough for a weekend job in the driveway.(5)
Perfect for Daily Driving and Weekend Tracks
Chuck these Toughdog adjustable shocks on the JL about three months back and they've been brilliant. Carting tools and materials around during the week rides smooth as, then dial them up firm for hitting the tracks on weekends. Dead easy to adjust and the difference in handling is night and day, proper quality gear that's worth every cent.(5)
Perfect for Remote Tracks and Corrugations
Been running these Toughdog adjustable shocks on my JL through the Simpson Desert and Cape York, and the difference is night and day compared to stock. The adjustable damping is brilliant – wound them up for the corrugated sections on the Gunbarrel Highway and softened them off for the rocky stuff. Fitment was spot-on and they've handled everything from bull dust to river crossings without missing a beat.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
These adjustable rear shocks have transformed our JL for weekend camping trips. The ability to dial in the dampening means we can run softer for corrugated roads on the way up to the high country, then firm them up when we're loaded with the camper and all the family gear. Fitment was straightforward and the quality feels absolutely solid – definitely worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
