Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality with these adjustable shocks. When ordering, choose spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently carried in or on your LandCruiser 300 every day. Occasional loads like camping gear for weekend trips or intermittent towing should not be considered constant load, as over-springing will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may place excessive stress on suspension components. Common constant loads for the 300 Series include bullbars (30-60kg front), steel rear bars (40-70kg), roof racks and awnings (20-40kg), dual battery systems (20-30kg), long-range fuel tanks (40kg+ when full), drawer systems and fridges (40-80kg rear), and permanently mounted spare wheels or jerrycan holders. If you frequently tow heavy loads but don't carry significant constant accessories, consider airbag suspension as an adjustable load-leveling solution that works alongside your spring and shock package.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for these remote reservoir adjustable shocks to ensure correct mounting, proper reservoir positioning, secure hose routing, and optimal initial damping settings. A complete four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct suspension geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shock valving will bed-in — you may need to fine-tune your adjustment settings after this initial period. For LandCruiser 300 owners adding significant lift or improving suspension geometry, pairing these rear shocks with upgraded control arms will maximize caster correction, improve handling, and restore optimal suspension angles.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence, real-world outback testing, and unwavering commitment to quality. Every Toughdog product is designed and validated in Australian conditions by Australian engineers who understand the unique demands of our terrain, climate, and touring culture. Trusted by tradies, grey nomads, weekend warriors, and professional expedition operators across the country, the Toughdog suspension range delivers exceptional durability, performance, and value backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and Australia-wide support.
These premium remote reservoir adjustable rear shocks are engineered for serious LandCruiser 300 Series owners who demand maximum suspension capability — long-distance tourers crossing the Canning Stock Route or Gibb River Road, caravan towers hauling 3,000-3,500kg combinations for months at a time, commercial operators running heavy trade equipment daily, or outback adventurers tackling corrugated tracks and desert crossings where shock fade means the difference between comfort and punishment. If you're carrying constant accessory loads, towing regularly, or spending extended periods on challenging terrain, these adjustable shocks provide the tuning capability and heat management that standard shocks simply cannot deliver. For those who occasionally carry heavy loads but don't need permanent spring upgrades, explore our airbag suspension systems for adjustable load support.

Yes, these Toughdog Remote Reservoir Adjustable Rear Shocks are specifically engineered to fit all Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series variants from 2021-current, including GX, VX, Sahara, and GR Sport models. They're designed as direct replacements for the factory rear shock absorbers and are compatible with both stock height and lifted 300 Series LandCruisers. The shocks accommodate factory suspension geometry as well as aftermarket lift configurations, though you should verify your specific setup if running significant lift or modified suspension components. If you're unsure about compatibility with your particular build or modifications, our suspension specialists can confirm fitment before you order.
These are shock absorbers only and do not provide lift height by themselves — lift is determined by your spring selection (coil or leaf springs depending on your 300 Series variant). However, these remote reservoir shocks feature extended travel and compression range to accommodate lifted configurations typically between 40mm-75mm depending on your spring choice and constant load. The adjustable damping allows you to optimize ride quality and control regardless of your lift height. For complete lift kit solutions that include matched springs and shocks, browse our LandCruiser 300 Series lift kit packages which provide engineered suspension systems with specified lift heights.
This package includes a pair of Toughdog remote reservoir adjustable rear shock absorbers, complete with remote reservoir mounting brackets, high-pressure braided reservoir hoses, all required mounting hardware (bushes, pins, washers), and external adjustment knobs with multi-position click settings. Full installation instructions and damping adjustment guides are also provided. Please note this is a rear shock package only — front shocks, springs (coil or leaf), upper control arms, and other suspension components are sold separately and should be selected based on your specific LandCruiser 300 configuration and load requirements.
Absolutely — these remote reservoir adjustable shocks are ideal for LandCruiser 300 owners who regularly tow heavy caravans, camper trailers, or boat combinations. The adjustable damping allows you to firm up the rear suspension when towing, significantly reducing body roll, rear-end sway, and porpoising that can occur with heavy tongue weights and crosswinds. The oversized remote reservoirs prevent shock fade during extended towing on corrugated or highway conditions by dramatically increasing heat dissipation capacity. For optimal towing performance, pair these shocks with appropriately rated rear springs selected for your constant load, or consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load leveling and adjustment capability.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory when installing these rear shocks on a LandCruiser 300, but they are highly recommended if you're also adding significant lift height (50mm+) or want to maximize suspension geometry and handling improvements. Upgraded control arms restore proper castor and camber angles after lifting, improve wheel travel and articulation, and provide superior strength for heavy touring loads. The 300 Series benefits significantly from quality control arms when running larger tyres and carrying expedition equipment. If you're building a comprehensive suspension system for serious touring or commercial use, consider including upgraded control arms in your package for maximum capability and longevity.
Yes, a complete four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension components including shock absorbers on your LandCruiser 300 Series. Even though shocks don't directly alter suspension geometry like springs or control arms, the installation process requires disconnecting suspension components and the new shocks may allow different suspension movement characteristics that affect wheel positioning. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling, and correct steering feel while preventing premature component wear. Your alignment technician should check and adjust castor, camber, toe, and thrust angles to manufacturer specifications or your suspension installer's recommendations, especially if you've also fitted lift springs or modified suspension geometry.
When purchasing these rear shocks as part of a complete suspension package that includes springs, you'll be asked to select appropriate spring rates for both front and rear based on your constant accessory load. It's critical to choose spring rates that match the weight you permanently carry every day — items like bullbars, steel bumpers, drawer systems, long-range tanks, and roof-mounted accessories. Occasional loads such as camping gear for weekend trips or intermittent towing should not influence your spring rate selection, as over-springing will result in harsh ride quality and potential component damage. If you need guidance selecting the correct spring rates for your specific LandCruiser 300 setup and typical load configuration, contact our suspension experts who can recommend the optimal combination based on your requirements.
These rear shocks themselves don't determine tyre clearance — that's primarily controlled by your lift height (spring selection) and suspension geometry modifications. However, when paired with appropriate lift springs (typically 50mm+), these shocks provide the extended travel and damping control needed to safely run larger tyres such as 285/70R18 or 33-inch options on the LandCruiser 300. Larger tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, guard trimming or flaring, and whether you've installed aftermarket upper control arms to restore clearances. For specific tyre size recommendations based on your intended lift height and suspension package, consult with our team who can advise on proven combinations that maintain clearance during full articulation and compression.
These Toughdog Remote Reservoir Adjustable Shocks are backed by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, providing coverage against defects in materials and workmanship for the warranty period applicable to suspension components. Toughdog stands behind their products with Australia-wide warranty support and has earned their reputation through decades of producing durable, reliable suspension systems. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician and proper maintenance including periodic inspection of mounting hardware, reservoir brackets, and hose connections.

Yes, these remote reservoir adjustable shocks are excellent for daily driving and provide superior ride quality compared to standard shocks, especially when properly adjusted for your load conditions. The external adjustment capability means you can soften the damping for unladen commuting and highway driving, delivering comfortable, controlled ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory suspension. When you load up for weekend touring or need to tow, simply dial in firmer damping settings for improved control and stability. This versatility makes them ideal for LandCruiser 300 owners who use their vehicles as both family transport during the week and serious touring rigs on weekends and holidays — you get the best of both worlds with simple adjustment between uses.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Touring Setup
Recently fitted these adjustable rear shocks to our 300 Series and the difference on corrugated roads is night and day. Loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family gear, the ride is so much more controlled and comfortable compared to the standard shocks. The ability to adjust them for different load conditions makes a real difference, especially when we're running empty versus fully loaded for a week away. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring trips.(5)
Perfect for Heavy Remote Touring Setups
Been running these adjustable remote res shocks on my 300 for six months now, including a Cape York trip and plenty of corrugated Outback tracks. The adjustability is brilliant for switching between loaded touring mode and day-to-day driving, and they've completely transformed how the rear end handles with a drawer system, dual batteries, and water tanks. Fitment was spot-on and they're still performing flawlessly after some serious punishment on the rough stuff.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these adjustable rear shocks to our 300 Series before our last trip down to Wilson's Prom and the difference in ride quality is night and day. The kids actually commented on how much smoother the corrugated roads felt, which says something! Being able to adjust them depending on how loaded up we are for camping has been brilliant, and the remote reservoir setup seems to handle the longer dirt stretches without any fade.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Finally upgraded to these adjustable rear shocks for our 300 Series and the difference is night and day, especially when loaded up with camping gear and the kids' stuff. The ability to adjust them depending on how much weight we're carrying has completely sorted out the rear-end sag we used to get. Ride quality on corrugated tracks is so much better now, and fitment was straightforward enough to do in the driveway over a Saturday morning.(5)
