The Tough Dog VW Amarok (2010–2022) 20mm Suspension Kit is meticulously engineered to address the unique front-end geometry of the first-generation Amarok. Designed as a complete solution, this kit delivers the perfect balance of on-road comfort and heavy-duty load carrying — transforming your Amarok into a true off-road touring machine without sacrificing its legendary road manners.
Featuring 41mm Bore Foam Cell Shock technology, this system eliminates oil aeration to provide consistent, fade-free damping even during high-intensity desert crossings or sustained corrugated road travel.
