The adjustable damping system allows you to fine-tune shock performance based on your vehicle's load and intended use. For daily driving with minimal load, softer settings (1-3 clicks) provide maximum comfort and compliance over bumps. When towing caravans, carrying roof racks, canopies, drawer systems, or heavy rear cargo, firmer settings (5-8 clicks) reduce body roll and maintain stability. Off-road driving benefits from mid-range settings that balance wheel articulation with controlled body movement, while the firmest settings suit high-speed gravel and corrugated road conditions.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and initial damping setup. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to preserve tyre life and maintain vehicle handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for seals and bushings to properly settle before final damping adjustment. For optimal results, consider pairing these rear shocks with upgraded suspension components including front shocks and springs to achieve balanced four-corner performance and consistent ride height.

These Toughdog rear adjustable shocks are specifically engineered for Nissan Navara NP300 models (2015-onwards) equipped with coil spring rear suspension only. They are not compatible with leaf spring variants of the NP300. To confirm exact fitment for your specific build date and configuration, check your current rear suspension type or contact our team with your VIN number. Our suspension experts can verify compatibility and recommend matched front components for balanced performance.
Shock absorbers themselves do not provide lift height – they control damping and ride quality. Lift height is determined by your springs (coil, leaf or torsion bars). These adjustable shocks are designed with extended travel to accommodate 0-50mm lift heights when paired with appropriate raised coil springs. The adjustable damping feature allows you to optimize performance regardless of your chosen lift height. For complete lift solutions, consider our matched Toughdog lift kits that include springs and shocks engineered to work together.
This kit includes two Toughdog rear adjustable shock absorbers with multi-stage adjustable damping, premium nitrogen gas charge, heavy-duty mounting bushes and hardware, dust boots, bump stops, and comprehensive fitting instructions. All components are manufactured to exacting standards with corrosion-resistant finishes. Note that this is a rear shock set only – front shocks, springs, and other suspension components are sold separately. Contact us for package deals on complete four-corner suspension upgrades.
Absolutely – these adjustable shocks are ideally suited for towing applications. The multi-stage damping adjustment allows you to firm up the rear suspension when towing to reduce body roll, improve stability and maintain level ride height under tongue weight. Stiffer damping settings prevent excessive squat and sway while maintaining control on corrugated roads and during emergency maneuvers. For maximum towing capability, consider pairing these shocks with airbag suspension for adjustable load support that can be tailored to your exact trailer weight.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory when installing these shocks on standard or mild lift applications (up to 50mm). However, if you're installing a more substantial lift kit or experiencing worn bushings and joint play, upgraded control arms significantly improve suspension geometry, castor angle and wheel alignment. They also reduce vibration and improve steering precision. For NP300 Navara builds exceeding 50mm lift or for maximum durability in harsh conditions, aftermarket control arms are highly recommended.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension components including shock absorbers. While shocks primarily affect damping rather than alignment angles, the installation process involves suspension disassembly and component replacement that can alter existing settings. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling characteristics and maintains factory safety standards. Most reputable installers include alignment check in their service, and the small investment protects your tyre investment and vehicle safety.
Yes, these Toughdog adjustable shocks feature external adjusters that allow you to change damping settings without removing the shocks from your vehicle. Simple rotation of the adjuster increases or decreases compression and rebound damping stiffness, typically across 8-12 click positions. You can easily switch between soft settings for empty daily driving and firmer settings for loaded touring or towing conditions. We recommend starting at mid-range settings and adjusting based on your load and driving conditions, allowing a few kilometers to assess each change.
These shocks alone do not increase tyre clearance – fitment of larger tyres depends on your total lift height achieved through raised springs or suspension modifications. When paired with appropriate lift springs (typically 35-50mm for NP300), you can generally fit tyres up to 32-33 inches diameter, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width and specific trim package. Trimming or modifications may be required for maximum tyre sizes. Contact us for specific tyre fitment advice based on your complete suspension setup and intended tyre size.
Toughdog shock absorbers are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Specific warranty terms vary by component but typically range from 12 months to lifetime on different parts. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proof of purchase, and use within manufacturer specifications. Australian stock purchased through authorized dealers like 4WD Suspension ensures full warranty support and rapid claims processing through local service networks.
These adjustable shocks excel in daily driving applications thanks to their tunable damping characteristics. Set to softer positions for empty or lightly loaded conditions, they deliver comfortable, compliant ride quality comparable to premium factory shocks while eliminating the harsh jarring often associated with heavy-duty suspension. The ability to adjust firmness means you're never compromising – enjoy comfortable daily commutes, then dial in performance for weekend adventures or work demands. The progressive valving provides excellent bump absorption while maintaining control and stability.
Proper kit for serious outback work
Been running these Toughdog adjustable shocks on my NP300 through the Simpson and across the Tanami, and the adjustability makes a massive difference when you're loaded up with fuel, water and recovery gear. The damping control is spot-on whether you're empty or towing, and they've handled the corrugations and rocky sections without any fade or leaking. Worth every cent if you're doing proper remote touring rather than just weekend trips.(5)
