Shock length

Perfect for the N70 RG real leaf conversion when paired with a 190–210mm shackle. These shocks have a closed measurement of 410mm and an open measurement of 660mm. Any longer than this on a Hilux and you'll end up binding the shock on the stock mounts — there's no gain, only a loss in up-travel.

If your ute is sitting a little lower, or you load it up heavily, I can supply the 380mm closed / 630mm open shock which will still allow plenty of travel.

Don't mess around with Patrol shocks or anything else for this swap — the valving does not suit and it will ride like rubbish. There's no point modifying your ute to ride worse.

Rear Duty Tier Calculator

Check your rear load.

This 660mm open Platinum shock suits the N70 RG real-leaf conversion. Stock rear axle sits around 1000kg. Tell us what's fitted and we'll estimate where you land.

Please fill in your setup below before ordering — it helps us make sure we build the right spec for your vehicle. Skipping it is fine, but the details help us get it right the first time.
80/20

Build this for how you actually drive — the daily commute, the school run, the odd weekend track — not the one loaded trip you do three times a year. Nobody enjoys a daily-driven brick just so it's ready for a trip it takes twice a summer. If your heavy trips are rare, tell us straight and we'll spec for the other 80%.

Front-Mounted Accessories

Bull bar and winch hang off the front overhang, so essentially all of that weight loads the front axle.

Bull bar
Winch
Spot lights
LED bar or driving light pair mounted on the bar — about 100% loads the front axle.

Underbody & Chassis

Mounted between the axles, so only part of the weight transfers forward.

Rock sliders
~20kg/side along the chassis rail — about 35% of that reaches the front axle.
Bash / skid plates
Engine & transfer case plates sit forward of centre — about 75% transfers to the front.
Dual / extra battery
Engine bay, ahead of the firewall — about 90% loads the front axle.
An extra/dual battery sits off to one side of the engine bay, so that side needs a touch of preload dialled in to correct the one-sided weight. We'll set this for you.

Rear-Mounted Gear

Tray, canopy, boxes — mounted behind the cab, so this loads mostly onto the rear axle.

Tray
Tool Box
Canopy
~233kg average, fitted over the tub.
Dog box
~90kg average.
Rear bar
~57kg average.
Long range fuel tank
~200kg loaded.
Drawers
~81kg unloaded.
Fridge + drop slide
~44kg average.

Towing

Tow ball weight loads almost straight onto the rear axle.

Your setup has been calculated and attached to this order — we'll confirm the exact spec before we build.

This load is over the vehicle's rated rear axle capacity (kg). Talk to us before we spec a pack — a GVM upgrade might be the better fix.
Your setup calculates lighter than this shock's typical build range. Nothing wrong running it under-loaded, but if you're chasing the plushest possible daily ride, talk to us about a lighter duty tier instead.

Guide only. Your answers attach to your order automatically so we see them at checkout, and we'll sanity-check the spec before we build. We're chasing ride comfort and capability together — not stance for its own sake.
