These Toughdog foam cell shocks are designed to work with both standard and heavy-duty rear springs depending on your typical load requirements. When selecting rear springs to pair with these shocks, consider constant accessories such as dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, roof-top tents, rear bars, spare wheel carriers, and water tanks at the front, plus canopies, fridge slides, toolboxes, and towing loads at the rear. For vehicles regularly carrying over 200kg additional weight or towing caravans above 2000kg, upgraded heavy-duty rear springs and potentially airbag suspension are recommended.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and optimal performance. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper steering geometry and handling characteristics. All Toughdog shocks require a 500km break-in period where the internal foam settles and valving beds in for optimal damping performance. For vehicles fitted with lift kits over 50mm, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded control arms to restore suspension geometry and improve handling dynamics.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of real-world testing across the harshest outback conditions, from the Simpson Desert to Cape York and the Canning Stock Route.

These Toughdog rear foam cell shocks are specifically engineered for Toyota Land Cruiser Bundera models with standard rear suspension configurations. To confirm exact fitment for your specific year, series, and suspension setup, we recommend contacting our technical team with your VIN number or current shock measurements. Fitment may vary if your vehicle has been previously modified with aftermarket suspension components or non-standard lift kits. Our experts can verify compatibility and recommend any additional components needed for optimal performance. Always check current shock length and mounting configuration before ordering.
Foam cell shocks feature an internal polyurethane foam sleeve that separates the oil and nitrogen gas, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping even under extreme use. This technology dramatically reduces shock fade during extended corrugated road driving, heavy load carrying, or aggressive off-road use compared to conventional twin-tube or standard gas shocks. The foam also improves heat dissipation, allowing the shock to run cooler and maintain optimal performance throughout long outback trips. You'll notice improved ride quality, better control over washboard surfaces, and more consistent handling when towing or carrying heavy loads. Foam cell technology represents a significant upgrade over factory shocks for serious touring and load-carrying applications.
No, this product includes only the pair of rear foam cell shock absorbers with mounting hardware and bushes - rear springs are sold separately. This allows you to select the correct spring rate based on your specific load requirements, vehicle usage, and desired ride height. We recommend pairing these shocks with Toughdog rear springs matched to your typical payload, whether standard load for light touring, medium-duty for regular accessories, or heavy-duty for constant heavy loads and towing. Our suspension experts can help you select the ideal spring and shock combination for your specific Bundera setup and intended use.
These Toughdog foam cell shocks are designed to accommodate moderate lift heights typically up to 50mm when paired with appropriate extended-length shock absorbers and correct spring rates. If your Bundera currently has a lift kit installed, you'll need to verify that these shocks provide adequate extended and compressed lengths for your specific lift height and suspension travel. For lifts over 50mm, longer-travel shock variants may be required, and we recommend also upgrading control arms and other suspension geometry components. Contact our team with details of your current lift kit and we'll confirm compatibility and recommend any additional components needed for safe, optimal performance.
Yes, Toughdog foam cell shocks are specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications including regular towing of caravans, trailers, and boats, plus carrying significant payload from accessories, equipment, and camping gear. The foam cell design prevents shock fade under load and maintains consistent damping even when your Bundera is at maximum GVM. For optimal towing performance, ensure you pair these shocks with appropriately rated heavy-duty rear springs selected for your typical tow ball weight and payload. Many customers also add airbag suspension for fine-tuning ride height and load support. These shocks will significantly improve towing stability, reduce body roll, and provide better control compared to worn factory shocks.
While experienced home mechanics with appropriate tools can install these shocks, we strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist. Correct installation requires proper torque specifications, secure mounting, and verification of suspension geometry and clearances throughout the travel range. After installation, a four-wheel alignment is mandatory to ensure correct steering angles, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain safe handling characteristics. Professional installers can also inspect related suspension components for wear, identify any additional upgrades needed, and ensure your Bundera's suspension system works as an integrated unit. Most installations take 2-3 hours including alignment.
Absolutely - one of the key benefits of foam cell technology is improved on-road ride quality compared to both worn factory shocks and conventional gas shock replacements. The foam cell design provides more progressive damping with better control over small bumps and road imperfections, reducing harshness and improving overall comfort for daily driving and highway touring. You'll notice reduced body roll in corners, better stability over undulating roads, and less jarring over potholes and rough pavement. These shocks deliver an excellent balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability, making them ideal for vehicles that spend significant time on both sealed and unsealed surfaces throughout their Australian adventures.
Toughdog foam cell shock absorbers are covered by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship when installed by a qualified professional and used under normal operating conditions. The warranty covers failure of internal components, seal leakage, and structural defects but does not cover damage from accidents, incorrect installation, or use outside the shock's design parameters. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and installation by a qualified technician. Toughdog's extensive dealer network across Australia ensures warranty support wherever your travels take you. Keep your receipt and installation documentation for warranty validation, and perform regular visual inspections for leaks or damage during routine vehicle maintenance.
These Toughdog rear shocks include all necessary mounting bushes, washers, and hardware required for installation on your Toyota Bundera. The supplied bushes are premium-grade polyurethane or rubber components designed for durability and proper shock movement throughout suspension travel. However, we recommend inspecting your existing shock mounting points, brackets, and frame mounts for corrosion, damage, or wear before installation. If your vehicle has significant rust or damaged mounting points, these may need repair or replacement before fitting new shocks. Original shock mounting bolts can often be reused if in good condition, but many installers prefer new high-tensile mounting bolts for critical suspension attachment points.
While you can fit just rear shocks if your front shocks are relatively new and performing well, most suspension specialists recommend replacing front and rear shocks as a complete set for balanced handling and consistent damping characteristics. Mismatched shock ages and technologies can create unpredictable handling, with one end of the vehicle responding differently than the other during braking, cornering, and off-road use. If your front shocks are original or several years old, consider upgrading to Toughdog front shocks simultaneously for optimal performance and safety. Our team can recommend the correct front shock specification for your Bundera and current suspension setup to create a balanced, predictable suspension system front to rear.
