Shocks
Rear Shock Absorber Raptor 4X4 Expedition +4" for Nissan Patrol Y60 / Y61
A rear shock from Raptor 4x4's Expedition line, +4 inches, heavier and stiffer than the standard version - built for a heavily loaded rear axle on an expedition-ready Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61. Weighs 5 kg.
Rear Shock Absorber Raptor 4x4 Expedition +4" Nissan Patrol Y60 / Y61
The rear of an expedition-equipped Patrol carries the most weight - a spare wheel, drawers, jerry cans, sometimes an extra water tank. The rear suspension is the first to feel the effect of overload when the shock isn't built for it. Raptor 4x4's Expedition line (Saglietti S.r.l.) addresses exactly this scenario.
The RAP-111512 is the rear shock from this line - heavier than the front version (5 kg versus 4 kg), reflecting the extra working load on the rear axle of a fully loaded vehicle.
Line Expedition | Position Rear | Lift +4" (approx. 10 cm) | Weight 5 kg | Compatibility Nissan Patrol Y60 and Y61 |
Key benefits
- Stiffer damping than the standard version limits excessive rear sag under a full expedition load.
- A 5 kg weight - noticeably more than the front unit in the same line - is a confirmed, measurable build difference, not a coincidence.
- One part number for both Y60 and Y61 simplifies parts selection across both generations.
Technical data
- Line: Expedition (Raptor 4x4, manufacturer Saglietti S.r.l.)
- Mounting position: rear
- Lift: +4 inches
- Weight: 5 kg
- Colour: yellow, black shaft dust boot
- Compatibility: Nissan Patrol Y60, Y61
Who it's for: it makes sense on a vehicle that regularly carries a full expedition load at the rear - the more permanent weight on the rear axle, the more noticeable the difference versus a standard lift shock.
Installation / notes
The shock is matched to a +4" lift - it works best paired with rear springs giving the same lift. Have it fitted by a workshop familiar with Patrol suspension geometry.
Why it's worth it
- Built for rear-axle load in a fully loaded expedition vehicle.
- A measurable difference (weight) versus the front unit in the same line, confirming a different tune.
If the rear of your Patrol sags under a full expedition load and a standard lift shock can't keep up, the Expedition version is built for exactly that scenario.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the Expedition rear shock weigh more than the front one?
The manufacturer states 5 kg for the rear version versus 4 kg for the front - the difference reflects a different working load and build tuned for the rear axle of a fully loaded vehicle.
Does it fit without changing the springs?
The shock is matched to a +4'' lift, so it works best together with rear springs giving that same lift.
Is there a front version in the same line?
Yes - the manufacturer offers a corresponding front Expedition +4'' shock as a separate product.
