Explore industry-leading Tough Dog’s 4WD suspension systems for yourself

When voyaging through rough, rocky roads for your next Aussie weekend escape, you need Tough Dog 4WD on your side for a smooth ride ahead. Some of these include:

  • 35mm Nitrogen Gas Charged Shock Absorbers

Tough Dog Nitrogen Gas Shock absorbers are designed with comfort and control in mind. The nitro gas shocks are equipped with multi-stage velocity-sensitive valving to ensure the shock performs at any given speed. The shock moves faster to absorb any bump in the road so you can enjoy a bump-free ride ahead. 

These shocks are ideal for light and medium four-wheel drives and vehicles with leaf spring suspension. It has a 35mm internal bore and low-pressure nitrogen gas to eliminate fade for better performance.

  • 2x Rear Coil Lift Springs

Tough Dog leaf springs are remarkably progressive-rate leaf springs, with single-stage and two-stage springs available for different applications to ensure the vehicle’s ride remains smooth and uncompromised, no matter the road conditions. As the spring compresses from the load, the heavier second-stage leaves come into effect to prevent excessive sag and remove increased stresses from the primary stage. 

They are oil quenched, hardened and tempered for maximum life and durability, so you can rest assured your purchase is one for the long haul. They are accurately heat treated and pre-stressed to maintain ride height. From 2x Rear Coil Lift Springs for a 120-300kg load (Patrol Y62) to 2x Rear Leaf Lift Springs Constant 300kg Load (Hilux 2015+), we have a range of rear coil lift springs available to suit your 4x4 model. 

One thing’s for sure, we can’t miss this award-winning Tough Dog 4WD suspension system. This absolute weapon came first in independent shock absorber testing by Australian 4WD Action Magazine. Its micro-cellular foam inserts enable shocks to deliver increased performance on even the most challenging roads. 

Featuring a 41mm internal bore and 18mm double chrome-plated rod, you need this weapon on your side to hit the ground running on your next road trip.

The 40mm adjustable shock allows you to fine-tune your 4WD to your preference with nine different adjustment stages. With 4WD being an all-in-one family car, off-road toy, touring escape or tradesperson’s work platform, it’s never been more essential to allow your vehicle to adjust to its ever-changing demands. 

Tough Dog’s 4WD bore adjustable rear shocks are also equipped with our Foam Cell technology to minimise aeration and cavitation, making the shocks better equipped to resist fade and perform in demanding offroad conditions. 

  • XHD RTC (Return to Center) Steering Damper

If your vehicle is fitted with oversized tyres and large suspension lifts, this damper packs a punch to straighten out your steering. A vehicle fitted with a suspension lift of more than 100m requires a longer, more heavy-duty damper. These XHD dampers are packed with the required brackets to mount them. With superb road handling features, their return-to-centre principle will help reduce driver fatigue for long-distance driving, particularly useful for truck drivers carrying a heavy load day in and day out.
