    just fitted +5 terra firma shocks

    Hi all I have just fitted some Terrafirma +5 shocks and mounts to my 130. When I sold my county I took the 3' ultra flexi coils out of it and now they are under the 130 as well. I now need a double cardan joint, the list never ends. I will have some new tyres and rims soon, I will space the flares out to cover as I will be using 16x8-25 rims.


    NOTE: When using the plus five rear mount in the rear you need to move the fuel filter and do away with the cover, I just used a piece of plate steel for a bracket and moved the filter up and across a little.

    I've got the plus 2inch on the wife's 90 and they work very well. Very good value for the money.

    I have raised turrets, discolation cones, longer brake lines etc sitting in a box, bought from Gwyn Lewis in the UK, not chosen the shocks yet, so i'm interested to hear your experience...

    I have some cones PM me for details. You will also need front cones and lower front spring retaining plates as well as extended brake hoses and T.C. cable extensions as a minimum parts list.

    Hi, I bought my stuff from British off road. I bought +2 raised front shock mounts and the extreme rear mounts, you need these for the +5 shock in the rear.

    You will need longer brake hoses as well. Most likely you will need dislocation cones in the front (I have 3inch ultra flexi coils and stay seated), you will also need rear relocation cones there are 3 types I think but you wil need them to suit the +5 shocks, they have a hook on the end to hang onto the coil. It has been mentioned already but its would be worth getting the coil retaining straps. I also got the heavy duty turret rings for bolting down the new front turrets. google Terrafirma, get the part numbers and call british off road

    Wow you really need some bigger tyres, it just looks funny with those now

    How is the ride? I want to upgrade my 130 suspension too, but not after a big lift, maybe 40mm
