XHD RTC Steering Damper
Tough Dog XHD RTC Steering Damper for Superior Off-Road Control
When off-road adventures reach the extreme, steering parts must work harder. Tough Dog’s XHD RTC damper is built for lifted 4WDs with tyres up to 37 inches and suspensions taller than 100 millimetres. By restoring correct geometry and boosting return-to-centre feel, it gives serious trail rigs the precise control they crave.
From rocky paths to long highway hauls, the damper cures head shake, cuts fatigue, and centres the wheel firmly. It ships with all brackets and step-by-step guides, although minor trimming or drilling may be needed on some builds. Models supported include Toyota LandCruiser 80 and 100 series, Nissan Patrol GQ and GU, and Ford F-250.

Tough Dog XHD RTC Steering Damper: Engineered for Superior 4WD Performance
Designed for taller suspensions, the Tough Dog XHD RTC Steering Damper keeps heavy rigs tracking true and responsive. It targets modified trucks that carry large tyres and need extra damping to tame deep ruts and sudden jolts. Tough Dog’s circuit-board-shimmed, twin tube internals offer durability and fade resistance in the harshest environments.
