Outback Armour Suspension for Volkswagen Amarok Generation 1 4-Cylinder (2010–06/2022)
Upgrade your Volkswagen Amarok Generation 1 4-cylinder (2010–06/2022) 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 are built around heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware, delivering improved control, ride comfort and load-carrying capability for real-world Amarok use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Designed and engineered in Australia for harsh off-road and touring conditions
Large-body shocks with high-flow pistons for consistent damping under load
Matched coil and leaf spring options to suit Amarok accessories and payload
Options available for daily drivers through to heavily loaded touring setups
Shock Options: Performance & Adjustable Bypass
Performance Range
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals, making them a strong all-round option for mixed on-road and off-road use. They suit Volkswagen Amarok owners who want a noticeable improvement over factory suspension without the need for external adjustment.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For maximum flexibility, Adjustable Bypass shocks feature an internal bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. You can tailor the ride of your Amarok to suit daily driving, towing, or remote touring.
20+ click positions for precise front and rear tuning
Adjustable for changing loads and driving conditions
Ideal for vehicles that alternate between empty and fully loaded
Dial them softer for comfort around town, or firmer for control when fully loaded or off-road.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition & Expedition HD
Each Outback Armour kit is matched to how your Amarok is actually used. Rear spring options include:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit Amaroks that run mostly unladen or with light, occasional loads. Perfect for daily drivers or weekend tourers, this option improves ride quality and stance without requiring a constant rear load.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits are designed for Amaroks carrying a moderate constant load such as drawer systems, fridge slides, roof racks or regular touring gear. They maintain correct ride height and control without becoming overly firm.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits are intended for Amaroks with heavy, permanent accessories such as steel canopies, long-range tanks, rear bars and full touring setups. Springs are rated to keep the vehicle level and controlled under sustained load.
Expedition XHD – Extreme Constant Load
Expedition XHD is for Amaroks operating at or near GVM with very heavy, constant loads. This option suits work or touring vehicles permanently fitted with large canopies, tools, drawers and additional fuel or water storage.
