ToughDog's Rear Remote Reservoir Adjustable Shocks suit the Toyota LandCruiser 76 Series wagon (1999-ON) and add a separate reservoir for extra nitrogen gas and oil volume, cutting heat fade on long corrugated stretches. External damping adjustment lets you firm up the rear for a loaded canopy, dual battery tray or camper trailer, or soften it for unladen touring comfort. Sold as a pair with mounting hardware, these rear shock absorbers suit 76 Series wagons and utes — confirm your exact variant via our 76 Series parts finder. Backed by ToughDog's Australian warranty and dispatched from local stock with fitment support from our team.

Choose your rear spring rate based on what stays fitted to the vehicle day-to-day, not just your heaviest one-off load. Common items that add constant weight on a 76 Series rear end include steel canopies, dual battery trays, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks and rear bar work. If you run a heavier fixed setup, pair these shocks with a higher-rated ToughDog leaf spring rather than relying on damping alone to control sag.
Fitment is a bolt-in job at the factory top and bottom mounts, but we recommend an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or workshop handle the reservoir bracket mounting and hose routing. A wheel alignment check is recommended after any rear suspension work to confirm ride height and axle alignment are correct. Allow a 500km bed-in period before making final adjustments to the reservoir damping dial, as seals and oil settle in this time. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
ToughDog has built its shock absorber range around Australian conditions, from corrugated outback tracks to daily towing runs. Every remote reservoir shock is backed by a manufacturer's warranty and supported locally, so you're not waiting on overseas stock or support if something needs checking. Tourers and tradespeople running 76 Series LandCruisers commonly step up to this reservoir range when standard-height shocks can't keep up with constant rear loads — view the full Toughdog range to compare options.
This kit suits 76 Series owners running a fixed rear load — canopy and drawers for trade use, or camper trailer and water tank setups for touring — who need more consistent damping than a standard shock provides. If your rear end sags under constant load rather than just needing firmer damping, it's worth comparing this against airbag suspension as a load-support option alongside your shocks.
In stock in Australia and dispatched from local stock, with our team on hand to confirm fitment before you order. Compare this against other options in our full lift kit range if you're planning a broader suspension upgrade.

Yes, these shocks are built specifically for the 76 Series wagon rear axle, covering 1999-ON models including the 1HZ diesel, 1FZ-FE petrol and later 1VD-FTV V8 turbo diesel variants. Mounting points match the factory upper and lower shock locations, so no drilling or bracket fabrication is needed on a standard vehicle. If your 76 Series has aftermarket rear axle mods or a GVM upgrade already fitted, confirm compatibility with our team first via the parts finder or contact page.
These are shock absorbers, not lift springs, so on their own they don't raise ride height — they're valved to suit standard-height 76 Series suspension. If you're after a lift, pair them with our leaf spring upgrades, which are available in raised options to suit accessory loads. The remote reservoir design does improve damping consistency at any ride height, which matters once you do add height with springs.
You get a pair of ToughDog Rear Remote Reservoir Adjustable Shock Absorbers, complete with pre-filled nitrogen gas reservoirs, braided hose lines, mounting brackets, bushes and hardware for the factory shock mounts. Fitting instructions are included. Front shocks and leaf or coil springs are sold separately, so check our shocks and leaf spring ranges if you're doing a full suspension refresh.
Yes, this is a common reason 76 Series owners upgrade to remote reservoir shocks. The extra oil and nitrogen gas volume in the reservoir reduces heat build-up and fade when towing a trailer or caravan over long distances, compared to a standard sealed shock. For heavier constant tow ball loads, also check whether your rear leaf spring rate matches the added weight.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
We recommend a wheel alignment check after fitting any rear suspension component, including these shocks, to confirm ride height and axle alignment haven't shifted. This is especially important if the shocks are fitted alongside new leaf springs or bushes. A quick alignment check also picks up any worn factory bushes that should be replaced at the same time.
These shocks are sold separately from springs, so yes — you can pair them with any ToughDog leaf spring rate suited to your accessory load, from standard constant load to heavy-duty options for canopies and campers. Match the spring rate to what's permanently fitted to your 76 Series, not just your occasional maximum load. Our team can help you pick the right combination based on your fitted accessories.
These shocks alone don't change ride height or wheel arch clearance, so tyre fitment stays as per your current setup. If you're planning larger tyres, you'll typically need a lift via raised leaf springs plus checking arch clearance and rubbing points at full articulation. Talk to our team about total lift height if bigger tyres are the goal.
These ToughDog shocks are covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, and we handle warranty support locally through our Australian team. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date, as warranty claims are assessed against normal on and off-road use. Contact us directly if you have any concerns after fitting.
Yes, the external damping adjustment lets you soften the rear for unladen daily driving and firm it up when the vehicle is loaded with a canopy, camper or touring gear. Many 76 Series owners run these shocks year-round, adjusting the reservoir dial as their load changes between work and touring use. Ride quality unladen is comparable to a well-valved standard shock, with the reservoir adding capacity rather than harshness.
