When upgrading your 300 Series LandCruiser suspension, shock absorbers work in conjunction with springs to support your constant accessory load. Calculate the combined weight of front accessories including bull bar, winch, upgraded bumper, lights and roof rack loads. For the rear, add canopy or tub, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long range fuel tanks, water tanks, second spare wheel and typical touring cargo weight. Matching shock absorber damping to appropriate spring rates ensures optimal ride height, comfort and control across all load conditions.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and safety compliance. While experienced DIY mechanics can perform the installation with appropriate tools and jack stands, a professional wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting any suspension components to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure optimal handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for bushings to settle and damping characteristics to stabilise before final assessment. Consider pairing these rear shocks with upgraded control arms for complete suspension geometry optimisation on lifted applications.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of proven performance in the harshest touring and working conditions nationwide.

Yes, these Toughdog rear shock absorbers are specifically engineered for all 300 Series Toyota LandCruiser models from 2021 onwards, including both the 3.3L V6 twin-turbo diesel and 3.5L V6 twin-turbo petrol variants. They are compatible with factory suspension configurations as well as vehicles fitted with aftermarket lift kits and modified spring setups. The shocks are designed to accommodate the 300 Series' unique suspension geometry and weight distribution. If you've made significant modifications or have an unusual setup, our suspension experts can confirm fitment compatibility before you order.
Absolutely – these Toughdog rear shocks are designed to work perfectly with factory ride height as a direct replacement for worn or inferior OEM shocks. They provide immediate improvements in ride quality, load handling and off-road capability without requiring any lift kit installation. The shocks are also fully compatible with lifted 300 Series LandCruisers when paired with appropriate coil springs, making them versatile for both stock and modified suspension configurations. Whether you're maintaining factory height or running a 2-3 inch lift, these shocks deliver consistent performance across all applications.
This kit includes two matched Toughdog foam cell rear shock absorbers (left and right), heavy-duty mounting bushes and washers, and all necessary hardware for installation. The shocks arrive pre-charged with nitrogen gas and are ready to install straight from the box. Detailed fitment instructions are included to guide the installation process. Note that front shock absorbers, springs, and complete lift kit components are sold separately, allowing you to build your ideal suspension setup based on your specific requirements and budget.
Yes, these Toughdog rear shocks are engineered specifically to handle the demanding loads associated with towing caravans, camper trailers and heavy equipment trailers behind the 300 Series LandCruiser. The heavy-duty construction and progressive damping characteristics maintain stability and control even when towing at maximum rated capacity on highways and unsealed roads. The foam cell technology prevents fade during extended towing sessions, ensuring consistent performance throughout long touring trips. For maximum towing stability and the ability to adjust ride height under varying loads, many customers pair these shocks with airbag suspension systems for the ultimate towing setup.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory when installing these rear shock absorbers at factory ride height, as the shocks are designed to work with factory suspension geometry. However, if you're installing these shocks as part of a lift kit or already running a lifted 300 Series, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to correct suspension geometry angles and prevent premature wear on ball joints, bushings and tyres. Upgraded control arms also improve handling characteristics and articulation for serious off-road use. Our suspension experts can assess your specific setup and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular application.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension components including shock absorbers to ensure optimal handling, tyre wear and vehicle safety. While replacing rear shocks has less impact on alignment than front suspension work, the installation process involves disconnecting suspension components which can alter settings slightly. A proper alignment ensures your steering is centred, tyres wear evenly, and the vehicle tracks straight on the road. Most reputable 4WD suspension workshops include alignment in their installation service, and we strongly recommend having this completed by a specialist familiar with 300 Series LandCruiser suspension specifications.
These Toughdog rear shocks are engineered with valve tuning optimised for the typical load range and applications of the 300 Series LandCruiser, making them suitable for most touring, towing and daily driving scenarios. The damping characteristics are designed to work across a broad load spectrum from lightly loaded to fully equipped touring setups. If you have very specific requirements such as extreme constant loads, competition use, or unique applications, contact our suspension experts who can recommend specialised options from the broader Toughdog range. The standard specification suits approximately 90% of 300 Series owners' requirements without modification.
These rear shock absorbers alone do not provide additional lift height, so tyre clearance remains unchanged when installed at factory ride height. If you're looking to fit larger diameter tyres, you'll need to install a complete lift kit including raised coil springs along with these shocks to gain the necessary clearance in the wheel arches and under the body. The 300 Series LandCruiser can typically accommodate 33-inch tyres with a 2-inch lift, and up to 35-inch tyres with a 3-inch lift and some minor trimming. Our suspension specialists can recommend complete lift kit packages that include appropriately matched springs, shocks and all components needed to safely run your desired tyre size.
These Toughdog rear shock absorbers are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind in your investment. Toughdog has built its reputation on standing behind its products with solid warranty support across Australia. Warranty coverage requires professional installation and normal use conditions – damage from accidents, abuse, or improper installation is not covered. Keep your purchase receipt and installation records for warranty claims. Toughdog's extensive dealer network across Australia ensures warranty support is readily accessible wherever your travels take you.
Absolutely – these Toughdog rear shocks excel in daily driving conditions with valve tuning that delivers excellent ride comfort on sealed highways and urban roads while still providing the durability and control needed for off-road touring adventures. Unlike harsh competition-oriented shocks, these are specifically engineered for the dual-purpose nature of modern touring 4WDs that spend significant time on bitumen between off-road destinations. The foam cell technology maintains consistent damping through temperature variations and extended highway driving, while the balanced compression and rebound characteristics control body movement without harshness. Many 300 Series owners report improved ride quality compared to factory shocks, particularly when carrying typical accessory loads.
Perfect upgrade for serious outback touring
Been running these Toughdog rear shocks on my 300 Series through the Simpson Desert and Cape York over the past six months and they've handled everything I've thrown at them. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with dual spares, long-range tanks and camping gear.
