I am not sure about others who have purchased Toughdog suspension but I am not happy with the results. Took my vehicle to Blacktown 4Way suspension in Sydney to get heavy duty shocks and springs put in - very helpful they even used my vehicle as a testing vehicle as it is an import - took the vehicle back twice for different shockies until we thought it was about right. Anyway took off for the Gibb River Rd and ended in Broome then went north to Cape Leveque - shocks faded badly on rear and seeping on shocks - replaced them with Monroe gas heavy duty no problems rest of way home to Sydney. Sent the Toughdog shocks back to Blacktown & they said that they were Ok (they said they tested them on their shockie computer) and that some fade was normal !!! I don't see the rear end bouncing up & down like a seasaw as normal. Anyway I did not protest and went on with life. But today I went to the local servo for a rego check & he said the front shocks were had it aswell as there were signs of scalloping on the front tyres & the ride also confirmed this. Anyway don't think much of these Toughdog things when you pay big money for then and they don't even last 35 000 Km - I did do the Gibb River Rd on these but they should of handled it - I paid enough. What put the icing on the cake is that I was going to put my old shocks back on the front and the Toughdog spring are too big (width).
Anyone had good or bad result from Toughdog or other exbleepive shocks.
