Outback Armour Suspension for Isuzu D-Max RG (2020 – 09/2021)
Upgrade your Isuzu D-Max RG (2020 – 09/2021) with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit, designed to handle corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still driving comfortably on the highway. These kits use heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware to deliver improved control, ride comfort and load carrying for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Designed and engineered in Australia for demanding off-road conditions
Large-body shocks with high-flow pistons for consistent damping under load
Matched coil and leaf spring options to suit specific vehicle loads and accessories
Suitable for unladen daily drivers through to heavy touring and work setups
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals, providing a well-balanced ride for mixed on-road and off-road driving. They’re an excellent choice for D-Max RG owners who daily drive their ute but also tour, tow and regularly travel on gravel or dirt roads, without the need for manual adjustments.
Digressive (DSV) Shocks
Digressive (DSV) shocks deliver firmer control at low shaft speeds and then soften as shaft speed increases. In practical terms, this provides:
A planted, stable feel on the highway and through corners
Smoother compliance over corrugations and rough tracks
Improved control when towing or carrying touring loads
For many Isuzu D-Max RG builds, the Digressive option offers an ideal balance between on-road comfort and off-road control.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For maximum versatility, Adjustable Bypass shocks feature an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. This allows you to fine-tune the suspension to suit changing loads and terrain.
20+ click positions for precise front and rear tuning
Quickly adapt for towing, touring or daily driving
Ideal for vehicles that alternate between unladen and heavily loaded use
Set them softer for comfort around town, or dial in more control for heavy loads and demanding off-road conditions.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition, Expedition HD & XHD
Outback Armour suspension kits for the Isuzu D-Max RG are built with matched springs and shocks to suit how the vehicle is actually used. Rear load options include:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly loaded D-Max RGs used mainly as daily drivers or weekend tourers. They improve ride quality, handling and lift height without requiring a constant heavy load.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits are designed for moderate constant loads such as drawer systems, fridges, smaller canopies or regular touring gear. They offer added support and control while maintaining a comfortable ride.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits are intended for heavy, permanent loads including steel canopies, rear bars, spare carriers, long-range fuel tanks and full drawer systems. They maintain correct ride height and stability when consistently loaded.
If your D-Max RG is set up as a dedicated touring or work vehicle and rarely runs empty, this option is usually the best fit.
Expedition XHD – Extreme Constant Load
Expedition XHD kits are built for very heavy, constant loads where the vehicle operates near GVM. This suits Isuzu D-Max RG builds with large steel canopies, full drawer and fridge systems, long-range tanks, rear bars with spare carriers and work equipment fitted full-time.
