EFS MRP 2.5 Rear Shock Absorber, 40-70 mm Lift - Toyota Hilux Revo and Vigo

A Hilux takes a lot of punishment, but the leaf-sprung rear has a limit: on a long corrugated road the factory damper heats up, loses damping and the truck starts stepping sideways across the ridges.

This MRP 2.5 damper carries an extra finned reservoir and two adjustment ranges, so it holds its character over distance and you decide how firm it works.

Key benefits

• 24 clicks of compression damping - one knob takes the suspension from road manners to off-road control, with nothing to dismantle.
• 36 clicks of rebound damping - you decide how quickly the wheel returns to the ground, which is what a series of bumps really tests.
• Additional reservoir with a heat sink - more oil and genuine cooling limit damping fade on long, fast gravel.
• Monotube design allows a larger piston rod, which means steadier behaviour under load.
• Fully strippable and serviceable - the damper is built to be rebuilt.

Who it is for

For a Hilux that goes further than the local forest track: touring, gravel, work under load. One part number covers several lift heights, so it suits a mildly lifted truck as well as a 70 mm Revo build.

Fitting and tuning

Damping is set with two knobs: 24 clicks of compression and 36 clicks of rebound. Clockwise (H+) adds damping, counter-clockwise (S-) reduces it. The manufacturer gives starting points: 0-10 compression and 0-12 rebound clicks for road use, 10-20 and 12-22 off-road, 15-24 and 22-36 for extreme driving. Use them as a baseline - load and driving style will move them.

The damper is fully strippable and serviceable, so a hard season ends in a rebuild rather than a replacement. Our workshop can take care of the selection and the fitting.

Warranty and registration

The distributor states a 2-year or 100,000 km warranty that can be extended to 6 years in total. Register the damper with the manufacturer after purchase (QR code in the box), then carry out and report a service before 2 years / 100,000 km and a second one before the next 2 years / 50,000 km. Each reported service adds another 2 years and 50,000 km of cover.

Why it is worth it

• Two independent adjustment ranges instead of one factory compromise.
• A reservoir with a heat sink exactly where a standard damper starts to fade.
• A serviceable design, so the damper can be kept in shape for years.
