Outback Armour Suspension for Nissan Pathfinder R51 (2005–2012)
Upgrade your Nissan Pathfinder R51 (2005–2012) 4-cylinder diesel or 6-cylinder petrol with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit. Outback Armour designs these kits to handle corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still delivering confident on-road manners. Heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware work together to improve control, comfort and load carrying for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Engineered and tested in Australia 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 available for unladen daily drivers through to heavy touring rigs
Shock Option: Performance
Performance Range
The Performance range features robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals, providing a solid all-round ride for mixed on-road and off-road use. This range suits daily-driven Pathfinder R51s that regularly tour, tow or travel gravel roads, delivering improved control and comfort without unnecessary complexity.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition & Expedition HD
Outback Armour builds each kit around matched springs and shocks to suit how you actually use your Pathfinder R51. For the rear in particular, you can choose from the following options:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly loaded vehicles and work perfectly for Pathfinder R51s used mainly as daily drivers or weekend tourers with occasional camping gear. This setup improves ride quality, stability and lift height without requiring a heavy constant load.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits suit vehicles carrying a moderate constant load, such as rear drawers, a fridge, a light roof rack 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 suit vehicles running heavy, permanent loads, including steel rear bars, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks and heavier touring setups. The higher-rated springs support significant constant weight, maintain correct ride height, improve stability and reduce bottoming out when fully loaded.
If you run your Pathfinder R51 as a dedicated touring or work vehicle and rarely drive it empty, Expedition HD is usually the right choice.
