Description

Outback Armour Suspension for Volkswagen Amarok Generation 1 V6 (2016–06/2022)

Upgrade your Volkswagen Amarok V6 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 for real-world 4×4 use.

Why choose Outback Armour?

• Designed and engineered in Australia for harsh off-road conditions
• Large-body shocks with high-flow pistons for consistent damping under load
• Matched front and rear springs tailored to the Amarok V6 chassis and weight
• Options to suit unladen daily drivers through to heavily equipped touring rigs

Shock Options: Performance & Adjustable Bypass

Performance Range

The Performance range features robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals, offering a well-balanced ride on road and off road. This option suits daily-driven Amarok V6s that regularly see touring, towing and gravel roads, without the need for external adjustment.

Adjustable Bypass Shocks

For maximum versatility, Adjustable Bypass shocks incorporate an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. This allows you to fine-tune ride quality to suit changing loads and conditions.

• 20+ click adjustment for precise front and rear tuning
• Easily adapt for towing, touring or unloaded daily driving
• Ideal for Amarok V6s that regularly switch between light and heavy setups

Set them softer for comfort around town, or wind them firmer for control when loaded or towing.

Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition, Expedition HD & XHD

Outback Armour suspension kits for the Amarok V6 are matched to how the vehicle is actually used, particularly rear load requirements:

Trail – Unladen / Light Load

Trail kits suit unladen or lightly-laden Amarok V6s used mainly as daily drivers or weekend tourers. This option improves ride quality, stability and ride height without requiring constant rear load.

Expedition – Moderate Constant Load

Expedition kits are designed for vehicles carrying a moderate constant load, such as drawer systems, fridge slides, touring gear or a light canopy. They offer increased support while maintaining good ride comfort.

Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load

Expedition HD kits are intended for Amarok V6s running heavier permanent accessories including steel canopies, drawer systems, rear bars, spare carriers and long-range fuel tanks. These springs keep the vehicle level and controlled under sustained load.

Expedition XHD – Extreme Constant Load

Expedition XHD is the correct choice for Amarok V6 builds operating at or near GVM full-time. This includes large steel canopies, full drawer and fridge systems, tools and work equipment where load is constant and substantial.

Typical Kit Contents

Kit contents vary depending on configuration, but most Outback Armour suspension kits for the Amarok V6 include:

• Matched front struts and front coil springs
• Rear shocks with matched rear coil springs
• Required bushes, mounting hardware and components
• Additional brackets or spacers where required

Lift height, spring rates and part numbers are vehicle-specific and confirmed during quoting.
