Thread: is someon using dual rear shocks in his 110?

i do not, but have been on trips where peaple have, thay seem great and seem to work well on the long corgated tracks.

easy to fit with the exception of one hole you have to drill wich is a pain as the flange on the diff is in the way

with a TF TF513 - Rear twin shock mount kit

Would love to hear some feedback of running Superior Suspension Twin shocks.

Ranga might be running twin shocks

I have them on my 130 running revalved Bilsteins.

Simple to fit. Works really well on my 130.

Look through this thread:

There are 3 x 12mm holes to drill on each side of the lower shock mount.

There is also issues with the type of offset you have on your wheels. Standard 110 steel wheels have a more positive offset (toward the diff) compared to the standard 130 steel wheels (Wolf type). The Terrafirma twin lower shock bracket get close the tyre (about 25 - 30 mm gap) when you have standard 110 steel wheels fitted.

I have dynamic steels with a 0 offset so that should work

I've got them in my 110, I'm using twin Billies and they're the dog's.

Can I ask what is the purpose/benefit of having 2?

Steve, I run 16 x 8 Dynamics with zero offset as well.

The benefits are a smoother ride over rough road....I run a 19mm coil and poly air bag and the single (even re-valved) Bilstein would not control the initial rebound from the coil.

Having twin shocks halves the resistant forces that each shock is under during compression (and extension) resulting a smoother ride.

Well worth it.
