they arent that expensive when you look at any quality shock really.

Let us know what you think of them. I am thinking of removing the billies in favour of these in longer travel.

Yes that is them, and thats what I paid for them, $600 with boots, and nolathane (Or what ever they are called)bushes in the top rear mounts. Thats the same price as I would have to pay for a set of 31x10.50x15 Mudstars, but then without good shocks tyres aren't any good anyway.

have you got a link for the mudstars,,,,that's pretty cheap for a set of 31's, are they retreads/2nd hand?

cheers

Thats a new set, not retreads, he said it was a one off set at that price, if I wanted any more it would be $175 per tyre for 31x10.50x15's, $220 per tyre for 32x11.50x15's and $245 for 33x12.50x15's. I would really love a set of Coopers but a set of 33x12.50x15's would cost me $300 per tyre.

It's fixed!!!!!!!!. I changed the shocks, the front ones were completely rooted, they had zero compression resistance. Test drove the Disco and it was about 70% better, but it still wasn't right. It still lept from lane to ditch with each bump in the road over 90kph. I decided to check tyre pressures and the max tyre pressure for the tyres is 50psi, all the tyres had 60psi in them. I dropped them to 40psi and it drives like a new truck now, and every little bump doesn't shatter my teeth. I figure the last owner decided that airing up the tyres would fix the shock problem. Anyway, handles like a new car now, so I am very happy.
