We have tough dogs thru our 4wd Work Van fleet, Hard is not the word....
Sounds like the rear is on the bump stops going thru dips ! :shock:

I did the calipers myself, you only have to grind back about 3mm in the required spots. It takes about 15 mins but you need a rim to check the caliper as you grind. I tried a heap of rims and the only one i found thats works is the ROH TREK II 16x8. With this set up it gave me about 3-4in in track width.120 series Prado GX, 2" tuff Dog lift, TJM bash plate, Rackmaster roof rack, GPS, Hella spotties, Safari snorkle, GME TX4400, Alpine Stereo, Dual batteries, ARB bullbar, FRP flares and 255/70 16 BFG A/T

I had Tough Dogs on my 60 Series, blew the seals (no eskimompie jokes please) on the rears at 5000k driving from Tassie to Adelaide on a 35+ Degree day. Replaced under warranty and quit again within 12 months. Must say though they replaced this set with a pair to fit the 80 which replaced the 60 - they lasted about 15,000km
I won't be using them again.'01 TX turbo autoComment

G'day Joracha. Did you get Russell from opposite lock to do your 2" lift and would you recommend Tough Dog after having it fitted for a while?
Notice you also have a snorkel, did u get any benefit in power/fuel consumption when it was fitted ?________________________________________

I just did a long drive in my work 4x4 with tough (as f&^k) dogs.
They have been on the vehicle for a few years now and whilst they perform pretty well they are pretty severe in any bumps or rough bits.
Unless they have seriously changed the design and/or valving and ride comfort, I wont be going for them again.
I am finding that it makes the drive very tiring.
The rear feels like you have run over a boulder in simple spoon drains!

Honestly, one word:
BILSTEIN®
I was originally sceptical about the hype but I have since found that they don't have their reputation for no reason. They are amazing and worth every cent IMHO.
