if thats the only prob your sweet mates gorne threw 2 sets of leaking big bore tough dogs on his patrol ute.
he has been out 4bing about 5 times with it ,and runnin a 4'' lift in it
they tell him there was a bad batch that came threw
he is now runnin rancho's and there also cheaper
apart from the leaks he thought they were a ok shock on and off road

Buy another adjustment knob, they are same as Rancho, they use a long spiral to change shock settings so the knob is needed. Suggest also when replacing you fill hole with grease and make sure the adjustor plunger is working. Many sieze up after only a little work as they use f*all grease from factory and water/mud gets in. I filled all mine with grease soon as I got them as a mates had the problem with his Ranchos. Now I have gone to the incab adjustor kit and it is very bling and works a treat.

Is the incab adjustor kit compatible with Tough Dogs suspension?

I understood the incab kit could fit either brand. The one I have has a digital readout

Unfortunelly not. Here i was able to buy OME for redicules price, heard of rancho failing and ironman as shit. BTW...prices are here high as sky. And retaliers here buy from AU also, so why not buy without middle man. And i didnt find no one with TD shocks.
