Upto 2007 (not sure about the 2.4 an 2.2's) 110 Wagons had them as standard. The 110DC never had then fitted as standard.

My 09 110 wagon has 'em.

Yes, it will have. All wagons do. It's the 110DC I'm not sure about.

European law dictates the DC is a commercial vehicle and as such doesn't need them. I think LR carry this approach into their ROW spec DC's but I've never had a close look at a 2007 onward 110 DC.

My 05 hasn't got them front or rear.

Would you mind sharing where from? I'm in the market for shocks and looking to get a good price from overseas.

Cheers,

Ian.

Thanks to all that have chimmed in.
Interesting about CoG as I didnt consider this before, but have ordered Polyairs for the rear and are trying to find a spring retailer in Sydney to supply 130 fronts and standard rears. Also looking at Koni's, but the anchor is having kittens about the price and so am I.
Can buy 5 year old Bilsteins for $200 but who knows if they are stuffed or not?

Can you offer some advice, please?

Buying cheap shocks will afford you the opportunity to replace them at exorbitant cost in a remote area at a later date. You may also get the chance to test your emergency water supply calculation...

PS just saw your pic - at least the truck will be easy to find!

I got mine from Bilstein Shocks, KW Suspensions and much more: eShocks.com in 2010 for $A512.22 including freight and some $14.49 fee the bank tacked on.

The exchange rate has changed since then and I assume prices would have gone up.

Another possibility is
Bilstein - KYB - Rancho - Monroe - Edelbrock Automotive Truck Shocks and Struts - Shockwarehouse.com

And another

FWIW, My Bilsteins are about 13 years old and >200k km, including lots of offroad work including the canning stock route. The rears are starting to fade when hot, however the air suspension conversion has meant they work harder and often at different parts of their travel.
