EFS Elite rear damper for the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 in versions without KDSS, matched to a 50 mm lift. It measures 645 x 410 mm pin to eye and runs a 35 mm piston in a nitrogen-charged twin-tube body. Five-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
EFS Elite Rear Shock Absorber, 50 mm Lift - Toyota Land Cruiser 300 without KDSS
The Land Cruiser 300 leaves the showroom tuned for comfort. Add a roof rack, drawers and a full auxiliary tank and the rear axle starts behaving in ways the engineers did not plan for - and after a lift the factory damper is too short for the job as well.
Elite in this length is matched to a 50 mm lift and valved for a loaded vehicle rather than for the school run.
Application Toyota Land Cruiser 300 without KDSS | Lift 2" / 50 mm | Dimensions 645 x 410 mm, pin to eye |
Key benefits
- Version for models without KDSS - the source explicitly excludes vehicles fitted with that system, so selection is unambiguous.
- 645/410 mm length for a 50 mm lift - the rear axle regains full travel after the lift.
- 35 mm piston in a 51-60 mm body - the oil reserve that keeps damping alive over a long gravel stage instead of letting it fade.
- Low-pressure nitrogen limits cavitation, the sudden loss of damping in a hot shock.
- 16 mm hardened chrome rod - resistant to the stone scoring that ends in a leak.
- 1.5 mm wall in both tubes - a body built for the mass and loads of this class of vehicle.
- DMC-T valving - one damping character on the highway, another in ruts, with no switch to operate.

Who it is for
For LC300 owners building a touring rig: rack, canopy, extra tanks, a trailer. A sound choice wherever a 50 mm lift has left the factory dampers behind and you are not ready to move straight to remote-reservoir units.
Fitting and notes
- The distributor page describes a single damper - you need two for the rear axle.
- This damper is only for versions without KDSS, a condition stated explicitly in the description.
- The 645 x 410 mm figures are given pin to eye.
Why it is worth it
- Unambiguous fitment: a specific LC300 version and a specific lift height.
- Heavy-duty construction instead of a factory compromise.
- Five-year warranty with no mileage limit.
After a lift on an LC300 this is one of the parts that most quickly changes how the truck behaves under load.
