Thread: My First Mod - 2 inch lift

Can someone try and clarify what the correct part numbers are for the Bilstein shocks.

I am looking at getting King Springs which I am told equate to around a 40mm lift.

However I have noticed on the forum people are running Bilstein shocks front BE5-B994 and rear BE5-B995, these are the extended Bilstein shocks.

When I talk to both the Bilstein supplier in Brisbane and Suspension Stuff about what shocks to use with the extended King Springs, both companies inform me to use front BBE5-6046 and rear BBE5-6047 which as far as I am aware are the Bilstein equivelant to the factory Land Rover shocks.

My understanding here is that I would get a lift from the springs, the car would not sag as much, but I would not get any further wheel travel as the shocks are still the same length as standard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

see post #4 for the part numbers that AMV used on my lift. Its their standard lift which they do dozens of. It all has a 12 month warranty which give some piece of mind as well.
Best of luck
