When ordering complete suspension upgrades for your Tank 300, always select spring rates based on your constant load only — accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle. Common rear constant loads include steel bullbars, rear bars with tyre carriers, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, and permanently mounted roof racks with equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water tanks, or towing a caravan should not be included in spring rate selection as this can result in an overly firm ride and potential damage to suspension components. For heavy or variable towing applications, consider supplementing with airbag suspension for on-demand load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. After fitting these rear foam cell shocks, a complete wheel alignment is mandatory to ensure proper suspension geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for the shock oil and seals to properly bed in before adjusting driving style or towing heavy loads. For optimal suspension performance, particularly on lifted Tank 300 builds, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded control arms to maintain correct suspension geometry and maximise component lifespan.

Yes, these Toughdog rear foam cell shocks are specifically engineered for the Great Wall Tank 300 (also marketed as GWM Tank 300) from 2020 onwards, covering all current model years and variants. They are designed as a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points with no modifications required. The shocks are valved specifically for the Tank 300's rear suspension geometry and weight distribution. If you have aftermarket modifications or are unsure about fitment for your specific build, our suspension experts can confirm compatibility before you order.
Foam cell technology uses a polyurethane foam separator instead of a traditional gas piston, which eliminates aeration and cavitation that causes shock fade during prolonged use on corrugated roads. This delivers more consistent damping performance across all temperature ranges and driving conditions, particularly during extended outback touring or beach driving. Foam cell shocks provide superior fade resistance compared to standard twin-tube gas shocks, ensuring your Tank 300 maintains stable handling and ride comfort even after hours of corrugated road travel. The technology is particularly beneficial for loaded touring and towing applications where consistent damping is critical for safety and control.
Yes, these Toughdog foam cell shocks are specifically valved to handle the increased rear loads associated with towing caravans, camper trailers, and heavy off-road trailers. The advanced damping characteristics provide improved stability and control under towing conditions, reducing sway and maintaining better vehicle composure on highways and corrugated roads. For optimal towing performance, especially with heavier caravans over 2000kg, consider supplementing these shocks with adjustable airbags which allow you to fine-tune rear ride height and load support. The combination of quality foam cell shocks and airbags provides the ultimate towing setup for your Tank 300.
These rear shocks can be installed as a standalone upgrade to improve ride quality and load carrying capacity on your Tank 300. However, for optimal suspension performance, particularly if you're adding lift height or carrying significant constant loads, consider upgrading matched rear springs at the same time to ensure proper damping characteristics. If your Tank 300 is fitted with a lift kit or larger tyres, upgraded control arms may also be beneficial to maintain correct suspension geometry and reduce wear on bushings and ball joints. Our suspension experts can recommend the ideal combination of components based on your specific setup and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension components including rear shock absorbers, even though shocks don't directly affect alignment angles. During the installation process, suspension components are disturbed and torqued to specification, which can affect overall vehicle geometry. A professional alignment ensures your Tank 300 tracks straight, handles predictably, and prevents premature or uneven tyre wear. The alignment should be performed after the shocks are fitted and the vehicle has been driven approximately 50-100km to allow the suspension to settle. This is a critical step that should never be skipped when performing suspension work.
When selecting spring rates for a complete Tank 300 suspension upgrade, you must only consider your constant load — accessories and equipment permanently installed on the vehicle such as bullbars, rear bars with tyre carriers, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and roof racks with permanently mounted equipment. Never include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, food, water, or the weight of a trailer, as this will result in springs that are too heavy, causing a harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components. If you regularly tow or carry variable loads, adjustable airbags are the correct solution rather than over-speccing your spring rates. Our team can help you calculate your constant load accurately.
No, shock absorbers do not provide any lift or increase in ground clearance — they are a damping component that controls spring movement and vehicle body motion. If you're looking to increase your Tank 300's ride height for larger tyres or improved off-road clearance, you'll need to install raised coil springs or a complete lift kit that includes both springs and shocks matched to the new ride height. These Toughdog foam cell shocks can be used as part of a complete lift kit package or as a replacement shock for stock height applications. Contact our team to discuss lift kit options if ground clearance is your primary goal.
Toughdog provides comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage on these foam cell shock absorbers, protecting you against defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies depending on application and use, with standard coverage typically ranging from 12 to 24 months depending on whether the vehicle is used for commercial or private purposes. Warranty claims are processed through Toughdog's Australian dealer network, ensuring fast resolution and minimal downtime. To maintain warranty coverage, shocks must be installed by a qualified professional using correct torque specifications, and the vehicle must undergo regular servicing as per manufacturer recommendations. Full warranty details are included with your purchase.
These rear shocks alone do not provide additional clearance for larger tyres — tyre fitment is determined by your vehicle's ride height (controlled by springs), wheel offset, and body clearances. If you want to fit larger tyres on your Tank 300, you'll need to install a lift kit that includes raised springs to provide the necessary clearance in the wheel arches and under the body. These Toughdog foam cell shocks can be part of a complete lift kit package that's specifically valved and sized to work with raised ride height. Our suspension experts can recommend the correct combination of springs, shocks, and any necessary correction components to safely accommodate your desired tyre size.
Absolutely — these Toughdog foam cell shocks are engineered to provide excellent ride quality for daily commuting and highway driving while also delivering superior performance for off-road touring and load carrying. The advanced valving ensures comfortable damping over bumps and road irregularities during normal street driving, while the foam cell technology provides the control and stability needed for spirited driving, towing, or off-road adventures. Unlike some heavy-duty off-road shocks that compromise on-road comfort, these shocks strike an ideal balance making them perfect for Tank 300 owners who use their vehicle as a daily driver and weekend tourer. You won't experience any harshness or degraded ride quality in normal driving conditions.
Proper Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running these Toughdog foam cells on my Tank300 through the Canning Stock Route and they've handled the corrugations and river crossings without missing a beat. The ride quality loaded up with fuel and water is night and day compared to the factory shocks - actually maintains composure over the rough stuff instead of bouncing all over the track. Worth every cent if you're doing proper remote work, not just weekend beach runs.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Tank300
Fitted these Toughdog foam cell shocks to the rear of our Tank300 before a trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference was night and day. The ride is so much more composed now, especially when we've got the camper trailer hitched up and the boot loaded with camping gear. Kids even commented on how much smoother the corrugated roads felt on the way back. Well worth the money for how much we use the truck.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Tank 300
Recently fitted these Toughdog foam cell shocks to our Tank 300 and couldn't be happier with the results. The ride quality on corrugated tracks has improved massively, and the kids actually sleep in the back now on longer trips up to the High Country. Installation was straightforward and they've handled everything from beach sand to rocky fire trails without missing a beat. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular family touring.(5)
