2" lift. Dumb question number 1
Bob696:
sheered all 4 of the bolts on the absorber turret securing ring ..... [!Expletive Deleted!]
This is after it took me 2 hours to get the bottom nut on the shock off
Bob696:
Land Rover strike again
Went out this morning and got a new shock turret securing ring ..... gave the other car back to the wife ...... and discovered the damn studs are imperial not metric. Had to wait for the wife to come back home on a lunch break ... drive her back to work and then go and get some damned nuts to fit.

Nothing's ever simple with landys
No really, it never ever is!!
Range Rover Blues:
Those mounting rings are s**t. I fitted 2 new ones along with new shockers a couple of months back. This weekend I fitted a pair of HD turrets from Paddocks and the bolts sheared off whilst I was trying to retighten them. I think they are made of cheese!
Anyway, Paddocks now do a HD mounting ring, made using 4 countersunk bolts rather than the spot-welded poo of the OE parts. the b****ers are still imperial though!
davidlandy:
if u buy the britpart ones I believe that they dont even come with the nuts! u have to buy those separately !!
