I just had mine done by British Off Road on the Sunshine Coast.
I have an 09 Build D4 it has done 120k I did have the rear's replaced under warranty at 50K. We do tow a big van so the suspension works hard.
I am very happy with the outcome.

For the un-informed (and about to do the same job) - that is 4 boots (front and back?) you had to order ...or top and bottom boots on the front?Quote:

Thanks
The boots come in kits with clamps and both boots for each corner individually.
The rears come fitted but the fronts come with nothing.

I have a BT IID tool to deflate the system.

Mine didn't come with the boots, and didn't think of it at the time. Just noticed in the Youtube fitting clip, they also fit up the fronts without the boots. I may have to check my originals to see if they are fitted and whether i can transfer over (if required)?
Just checked originals. These didn't have boots fitted either - perhaps they are not standard fitment for certain years?
My replacement fronts never had any boots on, and neither did the ones I removed (LR parts but cant be 100% sure they where original fitment) so I didn't think anything of it
Interesting. These look very different to L322 EAS struts. I just replaced what I believe are the original fronts at about 260,000km. The front OEMs were labelled with Delphi and LR part numbers. The replacements were Delphi.
Two front are done. Ended up taking an hour and 45 mins.
1 trolley jack
2 jack stands
1 long 15mm ratchet spanner (lifesaver for a bolt someone had put locktite on at the rear, of course)
See video for other tools, better than i can describe. Accept i used normal long nose pliers.
My old front struts had no boots either. New ones do now though. I like the idea of covering up the bags internally from dust.

Like a $600 IID tool?Quote:
