Thread: Any 1 fitted an equipe Base kit

No, and here are a few thoughts why
Equipe 4x4 Stage 1 Suspension Kits Anyone Bought one?

To increase suspension flex at standard ride height you need to do four things.

1. Raise the upper shock mounts an inch, preferably two
2. Fit much longer shocks (3-4 inch more travel)
3. Get dual rate style coils with tighter windings at the bottom.
4. Fit extended brake lines (+4")

All the above will cost approx a grand.
The standard links in any coiled county/defender will be good for 12" travel shocks all round at standard ride height and I guarantee that is more then you will need/want to satisfy, hence changing the links is a bit of a waste of time/money.
In the front you would be best off fitting Haultech Holey Bushes into the radius arms to fully utilise the amount of travel on offer and to even up the flex a touch more front to rear.

Retain the coils top and bottom for greater stability in 90% of crossed up situations and your done.


So what shocks and coils are best for such an application? and where do i get the bits to raise shock mounts? and who makes extended brake lines?

Sorry bout 50 questions but im new to fenders.
