Thread: New shocks for SLS rear end

I have the new OME nitrocharger sport on mine. Had them for about 6 months & love them. Have had no issues with them. I also changed the front springs as well, they were the originals so they were 10yr old shocks/springs. Had OME in my disco 1 & these offer a better ride than the old, although it is a better ride anyway!!!! I can comfortably recommend them although suspension is such a personal taste.
My car is TD5 with SLS spacers & 150l long range tank. Even when full, doesn't feel any different when I go over bumps.

We use double acting large bore foam cell shocks for installations of air bellows in work utes. This is to take out the 'boing boing' ( hard to describe ) out of the rear end. Essentially, a leaf sprung ute with an air bellows for adjustable load carrying, has a massive amount of compression resistance, and bugger all rebound resistance. This can result in a lot of bodyroll, and a bunny hop type ride on lumpy roads.

Can't see why this would not work with other air suspension. Just about every large shock manufacturer has a foam cell variant. OME, Pedders, Tough Dog etc .

Another option would be a matched high pressure gas shock. Most high pressure gas shocks have far more resistance on rebound, than on compression.

I would try a few more sources before giving up.

Pedro, I have a set of efs on the back, they've done a lot of work and I can not complain at all, cheap also.They ran with standard bags and modded bags and all was good. When I purchased them no one really new what would suit so we went for a shock that was set up for a standard nissan weight. All came out working well (normally everything takes me 1/2 doz goes)
Hope this helps

I have the Lovells Gas Legend from Shane at Suspension Stuff.
SLS with Spacers.
I am happy and have no regrets.
Cheers.
