double shock mountings

<< < (3/4) > >>

Xtremeteam:
i fitted longet/taller springs so i could get more clearance between the bumpstop & axle so i had more travel for doin the comps,had the chop saw all set up ready for choping the mounts so i could lower them an inch BUT  if i did lower them & lost a bumpstop it would rip the shock clean off so just left it as it was,

i think the front turets are standard height

chuggaman:
this pic shows the reason for the extra inch

this is just sitting on the road on full lock

misses the inner arch by 1 inch

hence when i welly it under uneven surfaces it sometimes hits

scorpion do a - 2" turret ander after a chat with them they will do this with an extra shock mount

so the finished suspension setup will give

4" lift all round and with the procomp plus 2 lowered by 2" all round they will be at the right height

the additions of double shocks all round will then stiffen things up a bit and give me that extra inch i need in the front

Bulli:
Ive removed that edge, the 35 catch it whatever you do. Why not fit standard height front turrets and buy 4 inch longer shocks??? then you will have even more droop! Just a thought. I have resigned myself to having poorer handling on the road for major improvments off it.
Why not be really unconventional and sort out the limiting factor on all landrovers, the front radius arms.
Have you uprated your propshafts as they will be the most likely thing to pop and are a pain in the bum when they do, as you are normaly miles from anywhere in the middle of a bog.

Wanderer:
You can slice the top off the existing turret and then invert it after a bit of grinding. Then weld it back into place.
