Thread: Shocks for ex army series land rover.

i fitted county units to the front of mine.
When i bought the beast it had stockies fitted(not army) and would top out very easily.
i have removed the front bump stop spacers and still have travel left in the county shocks at full articulation.
dont know about the rear.

BTW - fit early rangie flex brake lines as the original army length arnt up to the job when you fit longer shocks and do a few mods.

Looks like you've already seen the ones up on ebay.

Hi Wayne
You can use rear Defender shocks on the rear,well they will fit and are longer travel.
I made up fitting wich is an eye(off an old front shocky) with 2 nuts welded on,you then can use the longer Series 3 rear shocks on the front with this device screwed on the shocky to convert it to eye/eye.
You probably have found out that most suspension shops dont no much about Series landys

Hi Crossy.
Thanks for the reply.I will try the County shocks if i can't get the original ones.I've also thought of going back to the standard shackles and shocks.
Thanks again Wayne.

Hi Andrew.
Thanks for the reply. This gives me a few more options now.I tried Fourwheel Drives in Melbourne For the series ones but they can't help me.They have the standard shocks listed on ebay at a good price.

lrover7 - don't go back to stock. it sucks, is crap, and a complete w.o.f.t.

another idea for the rear is to fit front spring clamp plates to the bottom of the springs. This will allow you to fit twin eye shocks. Twin eye shocks are the go as they allow for more travel and with the front plates on the rear you can also fit longer shocks!

also - be carefull with that melbourne mob.
you can get some good bargains from them. (their ebay stuff )
but they can also rip you off blind. - especially when buying second hand unseen.

they should also know all about army shocks, i went through this with them about two years ago :roll:
