Rear shock valving needs to match your rear spring rate and constant load, so tell us what you're carrying before you order. A tray or canopy, dual battery setup, water tank, drawers, bullbar and a loaded tow ball weight all add constant rear load that a standard-rate spring won't hold level. If you're running heavier rear leaf packs or coil springs, pair them with the matching Toughdog valving — our team can confirm the right combination against your coil springs or leaf spring selection.
Fitting a rear shock pair is a straightforward job for an experienced DIY mechanic with basic hand tools, but we recommend a qualified 4WD workshop if you're not confident working under the tray. A wheel alignment isn't mandatory for a shock-only swap since ride height doesn't change, but it's worth checking if you're replacing springs at the same time. Allow a 500km bed-in period for new bushes to settle before towing at full capacity. If you're also lifting the front end, look at our control arm upgrades to keep front geometry correct.
Toughdog has supplied 4WD shock absorbers to the Australian aftermarket for decades, with foam cell and nitro gas ranges developed for local conditions including corrugations, heat and dust. Every shock is backed by a manufacturer warranty and we stock the full range locally for fast dispatch. View the full Toughdog range to compare foam cell, adjustable and remote reservoir options for your Triton.
This rear shock pair suits Triton owners who tow a van or trailer regularly, tradies carrying tools and equipment in the tray daily, and grey nomads doing long touring trips on unsealed roads. If your rear load is more variable — swapping between empty and fully loaded — it's worth comparing this against an airbag suspension setup for adjustable support.
We stock this Toughdog rear shock pair in Australia for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment against your exact Triton series before you order. Browse our full lift kit range if you're planning a bigger suspension upgrade alongside these shocks.

This pair is built for the Mitsubishi Triton ML, MN, MQ and MR series covering 2006 through to current MR models. Fitment varies slightly by series, so confirm your build date and engine before ordering. Our parts finder for the Triton will show the exact match, or contact our team directly.
These are rear shock absorbers, not a lift kit, so they don't add height on their own at standard ride height. They're valved to also work with up to 2" raised rear springs if you're running a lifted setup. If you want actual lift, pair this with raised coil or leaf springs from our range.
You get 2 x Toughdog rear shock absorbers with foam cell technology, mounting bushes and hardware, plus fitment instructions and warranty documentation. Front shocks and rear springs are sold separately. Check the kit contents list above for the full breakdown.
Yes, foam cell valving is designed to control oil aeration under sustained load, which is exactly what happens when towing a van or trailer. It won't add carrying capacity by itself — that comes from your rear springs — but it does improve damping control at higher constant loads. Tell us your tow ball weight when ordering so we can confirm the right valving.
No, rear shock absorbers don't affect front control arm geometry. If you're also lifting the front end of your Triton, upgraded control arms may be worth adding to correct castor and reduce CV angle. For a rear shock-only swap, your existing control arms are unaffected.
A wheel alignment isn't mandatory for a rear shock replacement at standard ride height since geometry doesn't change. If you're replacing rear springs at the same time and altering ride height, we recommend a post-fit alignment check. Ask our team if you're unsure based on your specific setup.
Yes, these shocks are available valved to suit different rear spring rates depending on your constant load. Tell us what you're carrying — canopy, tray, water tank, drawers — and we'll confirm the right shock valving to match your coil springs or leaf pack. Getting this match right is what determines ride height and comfort, not the shock alone.
Since this is a rear shock pair with no added lift at standard height, tyre clearance won't change unless you're also fitting raised springs. If you pair these with up to 2" raised rear springs, larger tyres may clear depending on your Triton's guards and any flares fitted. Confirm your tyre size with our team before ordering to check clearance.
This pair is backed by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty, with documentation included in the box. We also provide fitment support from our Australian team if you have questions before or after installation. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
Yes, foam cell shocks are tuned for a comfortable daily ride as well as load-carrying performance, so they suit Triton owners using their ute for work and weekend touring. The twin-tube design keeps damping consistent whether you're driving unloaded around town or loaded up for a trip. It's a common choice for tradies who need the vehicle to perform both ways.
