perentie shocks

[thomson]

I need to replace the shocks on my Perentie .it does not realy do any extreme 4/4 stuff . does any body have a brand model number etc that they have been happy with ?.

[rar110]

Probably most brands with a big bore. I went with Dobinsons. Reasonable quality and good after sales service.

The store i use does not have listings for Perentie and as they have a lift , I am assuming the shocks for a 110 will not do the job , So a part number that I could give to the store would be a help , thanks Peter.

Just get +2" defender shocks. Choose the best brand to suit your budget.

Well I went with the Dodinsons and they were mailed down the shocks for $630 for 4 , so I set myself up in the shed with the T V on the supper cars , pulled the front shocks , only to find that they had sent me shocks with one spike and one eye end .My car at the front has 2 spike,s . do all Perentie,s have the same as mine , in fact do 110 have the same, I need to know this so on Monday when I ring up ,I will have the fact,s

If they sent those, are they even valved right to suit a landy?

Perentie 4X4's have a 2" lift. You can use 80 series landcruiser ones on the front (they have the same travel) if you can't get the proper ones.

Well the correct ones turned up today and fitted , part no GS51-117 and GS51-116 .I forgot to mark boxes as to front and rear.
