I was wondering what shockies you used on your rig as I have to get a set for mine. My rig has the standard military lift shackles and the military leaf springs. I also like the Range Rover wheels and tyres you put on your rig and I wasnt aware that they woud fit (Im new at this rebuilding game!)
The shockies are pedders gas ryders and the front ones are for a tojo hilux with 2 inch lift and the rear are nissan patrol with 2 inch lift . with all new rubbers and the steering damper i paid $715 for the lot . to be honest i would stick with the 173 as the 202's are known for floating pistons with a lot of revving . The wheel stud pattern is the same as early range rovers and discovery 1 wheels so i found out early on in this project .
