These adjustable shocks allow you to optimize damping for your specific load and driving conditions. Start at the factory mid-range setting (position 6) and adjust up for firmer control when loaded, towing, or off-roading, or adjust down for softer ride quality when unladen on sealed roads. Adjustment takes less than 30 seconds per shock using the accessible top-mounted control knob — no need to remove the shock from the vehicle. Common settings include position 3-5 for daily commuting, 6-8 for light touring with camping gear, and 9-12 for heavy towing or fully loaded work applications.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct torque specifications and safety compliance, though experienced DIY mechanics can complete fitment using standard workshop tools in approximately 2-3 hours. Wheel alignment is not typically required for shock-only replacement unless suspension geometry components are also changed. Allow a 500km break-in period for seals to properly seat and damping characteristics to normalize. For vehicles fitted with aftermarket lift kits, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and maximize tire life.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence, rigorous outback testing, and unwavering commitment to quality.

Trusted by touring families, tradespeople, and commercial fleet operators nationwide, Toughdog delivers exceptional value backed by comprehensive warranty support. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range for matched components designed to work together.
These adjustable rear shocks are ideal for LDV T60 owners who regularly vary their payload — including tradespeople carrying tools and equipment, families towing caravans or camper trailers, and weekend adventurers alternating between daily commuting and loaded touring trips. The 12-stage adjustability eliminates the compromise between soft unladen comfort and firm loaded control that plagues fixed-rate shocks. For maximum load-carrying capability, consider complementing these shocks with airbag suspension to maintain ride height and prevent bottoming under extreme loads.

Yes, these Toughdog rear adjustable shocks are engineered specifically for LDV T60 (2017-current) and T60 Max (2021-current) 4WD dual cab models. They're designed as direct bolt-on replacements using factory mounting points with no modifications required. The kit includes vehicle-specific mounting hardware and bushes for straightforward installation. If you've made suspension modifications or aren't certain about your exact model variant, our team can verify fitment — just contact us with your VIN or build date.
The top-mounted adjustment knob allows you to select from 12 damping positions, ranging from soft (position 1) for unladen comfort to firm (position 12) for heavy loads or aggressive off-road driving. Adjustment takes just seconds using your hand — no tools required and no need to remove the shock. Start at the mid-range setting (position 6) and fine-tune up or down based on your load, terrain, and personal preference. Lower settings (1-5) suit daily driving with minimal cargo, mid-range (6-8) works for light touring, and higher settings (9-12) excel when towing caravans or carrying maximum payload.
This package includes a pair (2 pieces) of Toughdog rear adjustable shock absorbers with 12-stage damping adjustment, plus all necessary mounting bushes, brackets, and hardware for installation on your LDV T60. Installation instructions and adjustment guide are included to help you optimize settings for your specific load and driving conditions. Please note this is a rear shock pair only — front shocks, springs, and other suspension components are sold separately and can be found through our LDV T60 parts finder.
Absolutely — these adjustable shocks are specifically designed to handle varying tow loads with confidence. When towing, simply adjust the damping to a firmer setting (typically positions 8-12 depending on trailer weight) to eliminate sway, reduce porpoising, and maintain stable handling on highways and corrugated roads. The high-pressure nitrogen gas charge and 36mm bore construction prevent shock fade even under sustained heavy towing conditions. For maximum towing capability, many customers pair these shocks with airbag suspension to maintain ride height and further improve stability when fully loaded.
Control arm upgrades are not required when installing these rear shocks as a direct replacement for your factory units. However, if your LDV T60 has a suspension lift kit installed, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to correct suspension geometry, reduce ball joint and bushing wear, and maximize tire life. Control arms become essential when lifts exceed 50mm or when installing longer-travel shocks that alter suspension angles. Our team can assess your specific setup and recommend matched components if needed.
Wheel alignment is generally not required when replacing shocks only, as shock absorbers don't directly affect alignment angles like toe, camber, or caster. However, if you're installing these shocks as part of a broader suspension upgrade that includes lift springs, control arms, or other geometry-altering components, then professional wheel alignment is mandatory. It's always good practice to inspect alignment after any suspension work to ensure even tire wear and optimal handling. Most installers will recommend an alignment check as part of the installation service.
Yes, that's one of the key advantages of these Toughdog adjustable shocks. The adjustment knob is located at the top of each shock body and remains accessible after installation, allowing you to change damping settings in seconds without tools or disassembly. This means you can dial in softer settings for your daily commute, then firm them up in 30 seconds before hitching your caravan for a weekend trip. Many owners adjust their shocks seasonally or based on specific trip requirements — it's quick, easy, and requires no mechanical expertise.
These rear shocks alone don't provide suspension lift — they're designed to replace factory-height shocks with the added benefit of adjustable damping. To accommodate larger tyres, you'll need to install lift springs (coil or leaf depending on your T60's rear suspension configuration) in combination with these shocks. A typical 50mm suspension lift allows most owners to fit 32-inch tyres, while 75mm+ lifts can accommodate 33-inch or larger tyres depending on wheel offset and trimming. Check our LDV T60 parts finder for complete lift kit options that include matched springs and shocks.
These Toughdog adjustable shocks are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Toughdog's warranty is one of the strongest in the Australian 4WD industry and is honored through our network of dealers and installers nationwide. Warranty specifics including duration and claim process are detailed in the documentation included with your shocks. To maintain warranty validity, ensure shocks are installed according to manufacturer specifications and inspect them regularly for leaks or damage during routine vehicle maintenance.
Absolutely — these shocks excel in daily driving situations when adjusted appropriately. Set them to a softer position (3-6) when driving unladen, and you'll enjoy comfortable, controlled ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory shock performance. The multi-stage valving absorbs road imperfections smoothly while maintaining body control through corners and over speed bumps. Unlike some competition-focused adjustable shocks that compromise on-road comfort for off-road performance, Toughdog's design balances both environments perfectly. You'll appreciate the versatility of adjusting firmness based on load without sacrificing everyday drivability.
Solid Upgrade for Remote Track Work
Been running these Toughdog adjustable shocks on my T60 through the Simpson Desert and Cape York, and they've handled everything from corrugations to creek crossings without missing a beat. The 12-stage adjustment is genuinely useful – I run them softer for sandy tracks and crank them up when the ute's loaded with fuel and recovery gear. Fitment was spot-on and they've completely transformed how the rear end handles a full load on long outback trips.(5)
Perfect for Family Camping Trips
Fitted these Toughdog adjustable shocks to our T60 before our latest trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference was night and day.

The kids aren't complaining about the bumpy ride anymore, and the missus is actually happy to come along now!(5)
Perfect for Towing the Van Around Oz
Been touring full-time for three years and these Toughdog adjustable shocks have transformed our T60's handling with the caravan hitched up. The 12-stage adjustment means we can dial them in perfectly whether we're loaded for a long stint or running light between towns. Noticed immediately how much more stable the rear end sits on corrugated outback roads, and the wife's finally stopped complaining about the rough ride!(5)
Perfect for Remote Touring and Heavy Loads
Been running these Toughdog adjustable shocks on my T60 for six months now, including a recent Simpson Desert crossing with full water and recovery gear. The 12-stage adjustability is brilliant – I run them softer for corrugations and stiffer when loaded up with camping kit. Fitment was spot-on and they've completely transformed how the rear end handles washouts on rough outback tracks.(5)
Perfect for Family Trips and Beach Camping
Finally sorted out the rear end sag on our T60 after fitting these Toughdog adjustable shocks. We regularly head up the coast with the camper trailer and kids' gear, and the difference in ride quality is night and day – no more bouncing around on corrugated roads. The adjustability means I can dial them up when towing and soften them off for everyday driving. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
