Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension for Toyota FJ Cruiser 15 Series (2006–2018), with matched shocks and springs to suit daily driving, touring and heavy load setups.
Outback Armour Suspension for Toyota FJ Cruiser 15 Series (2006–2018)
Upgrade your Toyota FJ Cruiser 15 Series (2006–2018) with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit designed to handle corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still delivering confident on-road manners. Outback Armour builds these kits around heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware to improve control, comfort and load carrying for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Australian engineers design and tune every kit for demanding off-road conditions
Large-body shocks and high-flow pistons maintain consistent damping under load
Matched coil springs suit specific vehicle loads and accessories
Options available for unladen daily drivers through to heavy touring rigs
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals to deliver a balanced, all-round ride for mixed on-road and off-road driving. This setup suits daily-driven FJ Cruisers that regularly tour, tow or travel gravel roads without the need for external adjustment.
Digressive (DSV) Shocks
Digressive (DSV) shocks deliver firmer control at low shaft speeds, then progressively soften as shaft speed increases. In real-world driving, this translates to:
A planted, stable feel on sealed roads and through corners
A smoother, more compliant response over corrugations and rough tracks
Improved control of body roll and pitching when loaded or towing
If you want a strong balance between highway comfort and serious off-road capability, the Digressive option often hits the sweet spot for the FJ Cruiser platform.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For drivers chasing maximum control, Adjustable Bypass shocks feature an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. This allows you to soften the ride for daily driving or dial in firmer control for heavy loads, towing or faster off-road conditions.
20+ click positions for precise front and rear tuning
Easy adjustment for changing loads, terrain and driving style
Ideal for vehicles that alternate between unladen and fully loaded setups
In short: wind them towards comfort for a plush ride, or towards control when you want the vehicle to stay tight and composed.
Spring & Load Options: Trail, Expedition & Expedition HD
Outback Armour matches each suspension kit to how you actually use your FJ Cruiser. For the rear setup in particular, you can choose from:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits suit unladen or lightly loaded vehicles, making them ideal for daily drivers or weekend tourers that only carry occasional camping gear. This setup improves ride quality, stability and lift height without requiring a constant heavy load.
Expedition – Moderate Constant Load
Expedition kits suit vehicles that carry a moderate constant load such as rear drawers, a fridge, a medium roof rack or touring gear. They add support and control over factory suspension without creating a harsh ride.
Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load
Expedition HD kits target vehicles with heavy, permanent loads including steel rear bars, spare wheel carriers, drawer systems and long-range touring equipment. The higher-rate springs keep the FJ Cruiser sitting at the correct ride height under load.
