Thread: What Shocks for D2?

Hi Wardy
Im going thru the same process at the moment for my D2 except the whole suspension.From a couple of sellers Ive spoken to(ARB,www.4wddirect.com.au/) it seems keep with heavy duty not extra havy duty as the ride becomes too harsh,Im fitting polyairs at the same time for load/towing when a stiffer bum is needed.
Check out the 4WD Direct people,their prices are really good,delivered to your door.Their online cattalouge isnt complete yet put email for prices,I got quoted $829.50 forthe EFS complete kit(4 2 inch coils,4 shocks,32mmHD steering damper) Using Lovells 2 inch coils and Bilstien shocks and damper $1390.00 .The Polyair kit is $330.00.ALL PRICES DELIVERED The EFS kit has a 3 year 60000KM warranty!!!!!
Goodluck
Andrew

I'm going to sit on the sideline and watch this one with interest.

My front Shockers are shagged and I'm tossing up what to do. I want to lift it... but wasn't planning on springs and shocks yet.... but might have to.

I think I will probably go with Brown's springs and 2" longer Bilsteins... but like Andrew said..$$$$$$$. Everyone tells me the Bilsteins are the ducks nuts... but they do cost.
The longer fronts are around $210 a shock... maybe I'll just wait and see how you guys go first...

I have a set of DII rear shocks (900klms only) sitting in the shed and a pair of D90 Extreme rear shocks (near new).

FREE!! You just need to come get em or work out the freight.

Hey Bytemark
Get a price from the above post,the price I got was 4 Bilstiens,a Bilstien damper and 4 lovells coils for $1390 delivered.So there Bilstien price must be very good.

I'd definately side step the Ranchos, been there twice - I'm a slow learner. Bilsteins have been excellent for me.

Gotta agree with Slunnie on the Ranchos mine a shagged already, as for the Bilstiens gotta disagree here, aspecially if your going to do any outback touring carrying a load, been through 2 sets of Bilsteins now and the 3rd are shagged now, both times replaced under warrenty, so can't complain about after sales service.

Konis or Tough Dogs will be next i feel, when dollars are available.

I've had Koni's on my commodore for 5 years now not one problem and are still going strong.

With the Lovells springs,but I'm sure you've already done this,check the rates.Some of them are ridiculously stiff!!
