Thread: Anyone have LR shock / damper data or specifications?

Haha yeah 2800kg but that had a reasonable bit of load in it, 160kg of flesh, 30kg water, probably around 40kg of tools/compressor, 20kg of RTT, the usual 15 litres of various oils and fluids, a slightly heavier engine than yours... and a heap of rubbish going to the tip.
Nowhere near as heavy as when I transported a cast iron CNC mill in it!

Just an update on the Amada Extreme remote res shock re-valve... Greg at Superior has run the shocks on the dyno a few times now and is making adjustments to the bleed configuration in the low to mid range and the initial low bump.

Can't wait to get them back to try them out, i just hope they arrive in time for this weekends trip

Will update how it goes

Hey Mike hope you got home ok yesterday, just wondering if you have a link to those x-hats?

Have a look here X Springs for Land Rover Defender 110 (Pair)

Foundry are now the dealer for X engineering,as Simon doesn't do the sales anymore,concentrating on the engineering.

Thanks Wayne, how do the shocks work as surely the longer down travel limits the up travel?

Oh I thought I was finally over all these dumb questions……..

Longer travel shocks do usually have a longer body, hence Gwyn Lewis and a few others have components that raise the upper shock mount to account for the longer body

There's a whole world of suspension mods to play with now and many of them work with a standard height car and still offer more articulation

I was just looking at the Gwynn Lewis mounts. Out of everything I have put on the truck the Gwynn Lewis and Ashcroft stuff has been the best.

Yep i agree, all very quality stuff and easy to fit at home.

The x-springs work great because it's similar to running a long retained spring but you can run normal 110 springs. You wouldn't even know it was there until you go off road.
