As above, i'm googled out and searching the old posts and threads here is doing my head in also.
Basically, i want to renew shocks/springs/steering damper on my 1989 V8 county 110(steel bullbar) which only see's offroad when we go to Moreton or Straddie.
I was tending towards bilstein, but i'm getting confusing/conflicting part numbers from different sites.
As an example, the following are numbers i've got for bilstein rear shocks,B46-0253/ BE5-6529/ 24-002530 from various websites. What does it all mean please?

As far as springs go, well that's another question, do i go king, lovells or whatever?

Std ride height would be fine, but an increase of 20-25mm would be preferable.

The way it is now with 3 x adults in the back seat and no load in the rear, the arse is noticablly sagging.
I've had the beauty for 12yrs now, i think the suspension is what the factory pumped out in 1989.

As i said guidance/recommendations appreciated.

Can anyone tell me the difference between Bilstein BE5 and B46 shocks.

Apparently they're both suitable for a 110.

Is it possibly just the damping?

Fullcrum has suggested the BE5-6540(F) & BE5-6529(R) where as other places have suggested B46-0243(F) & B46-0253(R).

I intend using them with raised King springs KRRS-02(F) and KLRR-04(R), a lift of 25mm-30mm i believe as i don't want to go any higher than that.

Any help appreciated(needed).
