Outback Armour Suspension for Toyota Hilux Gen 8 (N80) 2015 – 11/2025
Upgrade your Toyota Hilux N80 with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit, designed to handle corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still driving well on the highway. Outback Armour builds these kits around heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware to deliver improved control, 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 and high-flow pistons deliver consistent damping under load
Matched coil and leaf spring options suit Hilux-specific loads and accessories
Options cover unladen daily drivers through to heavily built touring and work rigs
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals to deliver a strong all-round ride for mixed on-road and off-road use. They suit daily-driven Hilux N80s that see touring, towing and gravel roads without the need for external adjustments.
Digressive (DSV) Shocks
Digressive (DSV) shocks deliver firmer control at low shaft speeds and taper off as shock speed increases. In real-world Hilux use, this means:
Stable, planted feel on-road and during cornering
Smoother compliance over corrugations and rough tracks
Improved control when towing or carrying constant rear load
For Hilux owners chasing excellent road manners without sacrificing off-road capability, Digressive shocks often hit the sweet spot.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For maximum flexibility, Adjustable Bypass shocks use an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. You can run them soft for daily driving, then dial in extra control for touring loads, towing or faster off-road work.
20+ click positions allow precise front and rear tuning
They adapt easily to changing loads, terrain and driving style
Ideal for Hilux N80s that alternate between empty and fully loaded
Set them towards comfort for commuting, or towards control when the vehicle carries heavy loads and works hard.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition, HD & XHD
Outback Armour builds each Hilux N80 kit with matched springs and shocks to suit real-world use. Rear leaf spring options include:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly-laden Hiluxes that spend most of their time as daily drivers or weekend tourers. They work well on vehicles with minimal accessories and only occasional camping gear.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits suit Hilux N80s running a moderate constant load such as rear drawers, a fridge, a small canopy, touring gear or a medium roof rack. They provide excellent support without the firmness of HD springs.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits suit heavily accessorised Hilux builds with steel canopies, rear bars, drawer systems, long-range tanks and regular towing. These springs maintain ride height, stability and control under significant constant weight.
Expedition XHD – Extreme Constant Load
Expedition XHD suits Hilux N80s operating near GVM full-time. This option works best for vehicles with large steel canopies, full work setups, tools, spare carriers and permanent heavy loads where correct ride height and durability matter.
