Thought i would ask the greater collective knowledge on this one.

I got the correct part numbers for the Bilstein shocks (thank you AULRO) to order a pair in the US, I have found it hard to find a supplier of the F&R and steering dampner. I finally found a supplier
( Land Rover Defender 90, 110, 130 Suspension Kits and Parts Available from RoversNorth.com (http://www.roversnorth.com/store/c-169-kits.aspx) ) that has them all, but can't determine if these are the right shocks or not....... I haven't heard anything back from them yet!

Does anyone have experience if these are indeed the right shocks for a 2005 110 TD5?

Thanks in advance

Hey mate iv just put bilstiens on my beast i have a 2004 defender, they are alright but they only have standard travel i was hoping for abit more. The guys i bought off were really good and it only took 4 days to get here once the money cleared.

Try Bilstein - KYB - Rancho - Monroe - Edelbrock Automotive Truck Shocks and Struts - Shockwarehouse.com (http://www.shockwarehouse.com)
They won"t have a listing for a 2005 defender so go back in years in their listings as shockers are same for older models and their service is first rate

Do Bilstien make a 50mm longer version for the front of a 110 ?
