Ford F250 (2001-2006) 4WD Leaf/Leaf 2001-2006 Tough Dog Tough Dog XHD Return To Centre Damper
TD-SS5250-XHD

This damper is engineered for extreme applications, particularly for vehicles equipped with oversized tires and significant suspension lifts. It utilizes an advanced return-to-centre damper design, ensuring optimal steering alignment and responsiveness, even under demanding conditions.

When a vehicle is modified with a suspension lift exceeding 100mm, the geometry of the front suspension arms and the required travel length of the damper are altered. This necessitates a robust, longer damper to accommodate the increased demands. Our XHD dampers are supplied with all necessary mounting brackets and detailed instructions for the correct configuration of the coil and collar arrangement. Some modifications may be necessary to achieve a precise fit.

These dampers are specifically suitable for vehicles with a suspension lift of 4" / 100mm or more, including popular models such as the 80/100 series LandCruisers, Nissan Patrol GQ/GU, and Ford F250. Experience exceptional road handling characteristics and enhanced stability.

Key benefits include the return-to-centre principle, which is particularly effective when oversized tires are fitted, effectively eliminating shimmy and assisting in blowouts. This results in reduced driver fatigue during long-distance driving, enhancing overall driving comfort and control.
