Damping is the job here: the RAW 4x4 NM272 is a Nitro nitrogen-charged shock absorber listed to fit the Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series (FJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80) wagon. It replaces a worn or tired factory shock at the same mounts rather than changing the spring rate or ride height.

What does a shock absorber actually do?

A shock absorber does not hold the vehicle up — the springs do that. The shock controls the speed of the spring’s movement, damping the bounce so the 80 Series LandCruiser stays composed over corrugations and settles quickly after a hit. The Nitro line is a nitrogen-gas design; any travel or valving spec for this NM272 beyond that is confirmed at the workshop, so we do not quote figures the supplier has not published.

Will the NM272 suit my 80 Series Cruiser?

It is listed to fit the Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series (FJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80) wagon (chassis codes FJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80). Shocks are position- and length-specific, so before ordering we confirm whether you need the front or rear unit and check your exact build — worth doing given the all-variants listing covers a spread of trims.

Does fitting it change ride height?

No. A shock is a damper, not a spring, so on its own the NM272 will not lift the vehicle or alter load capacity. If you are after a height or load change, that is the coil or leaf spring’s job, and we can pair the right combination when you book in.

What is involved in fitting at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits Nitro shocks in-house at Oak Flats. It is a bolt-in swap at the factory mounts, and we check the bushes and mounts while the old unit is out. Send your chassis code and we will confirm the part and book the bay.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Is the NM272 a front or rear shock?
Shocks are sold per position. Tell us your chassis code and whether it is for the front or rear axle and we will confirm the correct NM272 application before ordering.
Will fitting this shock lift my LandCruiser?
No. A shock absorber controls damping, not ride height. A lift comes from the springs — we can quote a matched setup if that is the goal.
Do you fit these at Oak Flats?
Yes. Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits RAW 4x4 suspension across the Illawarra, checking the mounts and bushes during the swap.
