TerraFirma Springs & Shocks ; Cones and shock mount -2"

(1/2) > >>

Mark_Solesbury:
Been outside in the rain sorting my suspension out today.

Ive fitted the origional TerraFirma Heavy Duty springs back that me were fitted as the new medium ones are far to soft for my liking...

It now sits pretty much 37.5 inch all round from the ground to the bottom of the wheel arch.

Ive also fitted a shock mount dropping plate, and a pair of dislocation cones.

I doesn't dislocate much, but it does. I tried it without and the spring popped out of the mount...

This is on a lump of concrete down at skew.




I also checked that the OME and the TF shocks are the same length...

topless matt:
Glad you got it sorted mate.
Hope it works well, dropping the mounts makes a fair bit of difference :dance:

Range Rover Blues:
If you fit longer shocks and shcok droppers, do you need to fit longer bump stops too :-k I reckon I do on the RRC :-.

davidlandy:
whys that then?

clbarclay:
RRB
The terrafirma dampers would appear to be standard length and seeing as they (the dampers specificaly) are not advertised as being any longer than standard that would make sence.


By rights you could say if the damper mounts are lowered by 2" then the bumpstops shoould be lowered to match to ensure the dampers never bottom out. In practice though because the springs are so much longer/stiffer there are a number of trucks running similar setups and the suspension doesn't comopress enough to require the bumpstops. You can draw your own conclusions about this.
