    Perentie 110 Shock Absorbers Extended/Compressed Length Specs

    I am looking at replacing the existing front and rear shockabsorbers on my GS 110 Perentie, these being Part No.’s BYG4001 (front) andBYG4000 (rear). Does anyone know the fully extended and fully compressedspecification lengths for these OEM shocks or know where I could source this information?I have searched the Army data booklet information for the110 GS Cargo, the Army Parts Listing, and the AULRO and REMLR forums with noluck. Most posted information on both forums relates to Defender rather thanCounty or Perentie. I have been working on the premise that shock absorberrequirements for the Perentie would be the same as for an Isuzu-engined 110County +50mm.
    I’ve narrowed shock absorber choices down to 2 or 3 manufacturers, andwhile some manufacturers clearly state their shock absorbers are suitable forthis fitment, others are a little more vague, and for the latter it would beuseful to have the factory extended/compressed length specs for the OEM shocksto be able to ask the manufacturers cross-check this prior to purchasing.
    Any assistance appreciated.
    Cheers, Dave

    I don't know about Perentie specs, but I know Tough Dog, EFS, Terrafirma have kits for the 130, which would be the HD versions of the 110, so they should be close. Or you could just get the LR HD kit. Should be close. APT also has an extended travel kit.

    Mate, that would be awesome if you could. No hurry though; when it suits you.
    Like I said I haven't been able to find any published info on the OEM shocks open and closed dimensions. I'm going to replace the front and rear radius arm bushes, and while it was up on stands I had thought of pulling out a front and a rear shock to measure prior to ordering replacements, but if I can get your measurements it will save me having too wait before ordering some.
    Cheers, Dave

    Just take them off and measure them! It should only take an hour to do tops.
    Then see whats available. Or just buy some +2" Koni's

    Cheers Lightwing - that'll help. Much appreciated.
    And Vern - Koni's are great, but probably on my fantasy list due to the cost of a set of 4.
    Thanks guys
