Front Shock Absorber +40 mm Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ90/95 – Raptor 4x4 (RAP-16151)

Running a lifted Prado on original dampers is the classic first-lift mistake. The factory unit is simply too short for the new ride height, spends its life near the end of its stroke and, a few thousand kilometres later, starts bouncing over washboard instead of damping it.

This Raptor 4x4 damper is catalogued specifically for a 40 mm lift on the KZJ90/95 front axle, so it works inside the range it was designed for rather than on whatever travel is left.

Key benefits

• Built for a 40 mm lift — the length and working range mean the suspension keeps full travel after the lift and the damper is not stretched to its limit.
• Double-acting, mixed oil/gas design — the gas charge limits oil aeration under sustained work, which in practice means more consistent damping down a long corrugated track.
• Medium valving — a balance between tarmac comfort and body control off-road; it is not the firmest setting in the Raptor range.
• 3 kg unit weight — a manufacturer-stated figure, useful for shipping costs and for comparison with other dampers.

This suits the KZJ90/95 owner lifting the truck 40 mm on Raptor 4x4 coils (16141 front, 16142 rear), or already running that lift and finishing the job properly. It also works as a straight replacement on a truck that has been lifted for years and whose damping is clearly past it.

Fitting notes

The price is for a single unit, so a front axle needs two. Always replace dampers in pairs per axle — mixing a new one with a worn one gives uneven damping and the truck pulls under braking on rough surfaces. If you want to be sure the pair suits your springs, talk to us before ordering.

Why buy this

• A damper catalogued for a 40 mm lift, not a "universal" unit fitted by guesswork.
• Double-acting oil/gas construction rather than the cheapest plain oil design.
• Part of a coherent Raptor 4x4 KZJ90/95 family — springs, dampers and hardware from one catalogue.

Building the lift? Order two for the front and match them with the rear 16152.
