Outback Armour Suspension for Isuzu D-Max RT (2012–2020)
Upgrade your Isuzu D-Max RT (2012–2020) with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit. This system handles corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still riding comfortably on the highway. Heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware deliver better control, comfort and load carrying for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Australian designed and engineered for harsh off-road conditions
Large-body shocks with high-flow pistons for consistent damping under load
Matched coil or leaf springs to suit specific loads and accessories
Options to suit unladen daily drivers through to heavy touring builds
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals. It delivers a stable, well-balanced ride on and off road. This option suits daily-driven D-Max utes that regularly tour, tow and travel on gravel without the need for adjustment knobs.
Digressive (DSV) Shocks
Digressive (DSV) shocks provide firmer control at low shaft speeds, then soften as shaft speed increases. In real-world driving, this gives you:
Stable, planted handling on sealed roads and through corners
Smoother compliance over corrugations and rough tracks
Better control of body roll and pitching when loaded or towing
If you want a strong balance between highway comfort and off-road performance, the Digressive option is often the best choice for the D-Max RT.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
Adjustable Bypass shocks deliver maximum control with an internally adjustable bypass system offering 20+ stages of damping adjustment. You can soften the ride for daily driving or firm it up for heavy loads, towing or faster off-road work.
20+ click positions for precise front and rear tuning
Adjust easily for changing loads, terrain and driving style
Ideal for D-Max builds that switch between light and heavy use
Set them toward comfort for a plush ride, or toward control when you need the vehicle to stay composed under load.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition & Expedition HD
Each Outback Armour kit matches springs and shocks to how your Isuzu D-Max RT (2012–2020) is actually used. For the rear, you can choose from the following load options:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly loaded vehicles. They work well for daily drivers and weekend tourers carrying occasional camping gear. You gain improved ride quality, stability and lift without needing constant weight in the tub.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits suit vehicles carrying a moderate constant load, such as rear drawers, fridges, small canopies or touring gear. They offer added support over stock suspension without the firmness of the HD option.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits support heavy, permanent loads including steel canopies, long-range fuel tanks, full drawer systems, rear bars and spare carriers. These springs hold the D-Max at the correct height, maintain stability and reduce bottoming out when fully loaded.
If your D-Max rarely runs empty and works as a touring or trade vehicle, Expedition HD is usually the right choice.
Expedition XHD – Extreme Constant Load
Expedition XHD kits suit very heavy, constant loads where the vehicle operates at or near GVM. This option fits permanently built D-Max RTs with large steel canopies, full drawer and fridge systems, long-range tanks, rear bars, spare carriers and work equipment.
