I've been reserching my suspension setup as my shocks have died. ( previous owner had installed 35mm lift king springs with the Standard toyota shocks...yuck). Word around various suppliers is the tough dogg adjustables are a god bit of gear... (with EFS springs 2"lift?). The wife has back problems, therefore i'm trying to retain a soft as posible ride while still giving me some off-road ability and hadling all in one. Does anybody know if this set-up will do the trick or can suggest other options. Or am I fighting a losing battle?

Any Shock where you can adjust the settings are pointless, how often are you going to get under your vehicle and turn the little knob, how many times is that little knob going to break off, how often is that little knob going to leak, I have seen all of these happen, I would stay away from any shock that is adjustable.97 VX Grande, with front & rear air lockers, ARB Sahara winch bar with tigers 11 winch, 2" EFS lift, 265/75/16 Achilles Desert hawk XMT, and more.

Re: Tough Dog adjustable - Any Good???
Hmmm, :? it seems to me to to be a subject of great debate this one. I had been told plenty of good stories about the tough dog gear, added to that several people have told me not to touch the efs gear but. I like to hear who has good experiences and who has bad. I welcome all feed back. I was also told the dobinsons gear would be a good choice. What to do... What to do...2000, Prado TX. ARB Bull Bar.

I have only heard bad stories about TD gear, and only a couple of stories where EFS has failed, but this was due to driver abuse (ie jumping a vehicle), however EFS still honoured there warranty. 3 years / 100000km.97 VX Grande, with front & rear air lockers, ARB Sahara winch bar with tigers 11 winch, 2" EFS lift, 265/75/16 Achilles Desert hawk XMT, and more.

Hi Byrning,
My son has tough dog adjusables fitted to his Patrol which he treats very hard. (Jumps and very fast off road.)
He has broken the knobs off once, but has replaced them. Other than that they are working well for him.
Thats just our experience.
