Outback Armour Suspension for Toyota Hilux 150 Series (N70) 2005–2015
Upgrade your Toyota Hilux 150 Series (N70) 2005–2015 with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit that handles 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, comfort and load-carrying ability for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Australian engineers design and develop these systems for demanding off-road conditions
Large-body shocks and high-flow pistons deliver consistent damping under load
Matched coil or leaf springs suit specific vehicle loads and accessories
Options range from unladen daily drivers to fully loaded touring rigs
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals to provide a solid all-round ride for mixed on-road and off-road driving. This option suits daily-driven Hilux N70s that regularly see touring, towing and gravel roads without the need for external adjustment.
Digressive (DSV) Shocks
Digressive (DSV) shocks deliver firmer control at low shaft speeds, then progressively soften as shaft speed increases. In practice, this setup provides:
A planted, stable feel on the bitumen and through corners
Smoother, more compliant behaviour over corrugations and rough tracks
Improved control of body roll and pitching when towing or carrying load
If you want a strong balance between highway manners and serious off-road capability, the Digressive option often suits the Hilux N70 best.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For drivers chasing maximum control, Adjustable Bypass shocks add an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. You can soften the shocks for daily comfort, then firm them up to suit heavy loads, towing or higher-speed off-road driving.
20+ click positions allow precise front and rear tuning
Adjustment accommodates changing loads, terrain and driving style
Ideal for vehicles that frequently switch between unladen and fully loaded
In short: wind them towards comfort for a plush ride, or towards control when you need the vehicle to stay tight and composed.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition & Expedition HD
Each Outback Armour kit matches springs and shocks to how you actually use your Hilux N70. For the rear, you can choose from the following load ratings:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly loaded vehicles and work well for daily drivers or weekend tourers that occasionally carry camping gear in the tub. This setup improves ride quality, stability and lift height without requiring a constant heavy load.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits suit vehicles carrying a moderate constant load, such as rear drawers, a fridge, light canopy setups, roof racks or touring gear. They add extra support and control over factory suspension without stepping up to the firmer HD option.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits target heavy, permanent loads including steel canopies, drawer systems, rear bars, spare carriers and serious touring builds. The higher-rate springs support significant constant weight, keep the Hilux at the correct ride height and prevent bottoming out when loaded.
If you’ve set your Hilux N70 up as a dedicated touring or work vehicle that rarely runs empty, Expedition HD usually proves the best choice.
