Thread: patrol shocks

hi mate i have 2 inch gq with adaptors in the rear will take a pic in a minute,dont know how 4 inch would go with up travel as my 2 inch is crazy flex,the front use 80series toyota as they are pin to pin same as rover and fit right in
cheers mick

You may also consider 12" travel shocks which will be similar.

Here is an adaptor from Rovertym in the US

thats the ones saves me getting under the disco to get a pic thanks slunnie

I was looking at the patrol 4" because they are pretty cheap ($550 a set of procomps) and i want to lift the car 2" and bumpstop space it so it has about 50-80 mm up travel(when loaded up) and has heaps of drop.

that mount is as simple as they come I was thinking i was going have to fab up a new mount to bolt to the chassis that would lift up the top shock mount.

Mickashay i would still like to see the flex the 2" shocks give if that's not to much trouble.

heres a shot and a vid,i have my 2 inch springs tied in now but havent maxed out my shock yet,in the pic i still have about another few inches of shock to go,mines a disco but same setup to rangie

If you're retained, then there isn't any benefit in running a shock that is too long, because you lose uptravel.

Don't forget to include the space measurement when specing up your shocks. This is for open and closed lengths so you can also adjust the bumpstop heights to suit your setup.

Works a treat. I have them in my 2 Door. You will need to move the top mounts up and forward + dislocation cones + Turn T piece on brake pipe up + step A frame ball joint down 2" and axe the Boge load leveling thing to get full use of the shock.

It will flex
