FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the 9 stage external adjustment work on these shock absorbers?

The shock absorber features an external dial allowing you to select from 9 distinct damping settings. This lets you manually increase firmness for heavy loads or off-road terrain, or soften the ride for everyday comfort on smoother roads.

What is Foam Cell Technology and what benefit does it provide?

Foam Cell Technology replaces free air inside the shock with a specialized polyurethane foam. This significantly reduces oil aeration (foaming) during intense use, helping maintain consistent damping performance and reducing heat fade during prolonged driving in demanding conditions.

Will these shock absorbers fit my specific 4WD vehicle?

Tough Dog 40mm Adjustable Shock Absorbers are manufactured to fit a wide range of popular 4WD models commonly used for towing, touring, or off-road driving. It is essential to confirm compatibility for your exact vehicle make, model, and year with the retailer or installer prior to purchase.

Are these shocks suitable for both daily driving comfort and heavy towing?

Yes, the 9 stage adjustability allows you to tailor the damping force. You can select softer settings for comfortable daily driving, and firmer settings when towing heavy loads or carrying significant weight. The large 40mm bore also helps maintain stable oil temperatures during extended towing.

How do the dust shield and chrome rod contribute to durability?

The external ABS plastic dust shield protects internal components from impacts by rocks, mud, and debris. The 18mm chrome-plated piston rod is more resistant to corrosion and bending than standard rods, contributing to smoother operation and longer service life in harsh environments.
