Thread: 3 inch lift

They seem to work OK in the rear but are **** in the front if you have rough country like I do. Cant wait to get rid of them Mine are like a single acting shock in the front. Would work OK with OX cart springs

The only reason I ask is that it is so damn expensive in this country for anything so a carefull look to the uk and bingo we have a winner. A complete 3 inch lift kit including bump stops, brake lines, springs, shocks, shock boots etc etc etc. Delivered to my door in Perth for a little over $600. Thats about $350 better than any quote minus delivery for a 2 inch lift here in aus.

What are you lifting? Defender,Rangie,D1 or D2.

I have never run procomp.

please tell me how "soft" shocks flex better?

flex will be determind by spring rate, link bushes, link geometry and shock set up.

I have really no tech on shocks so am curious to this statement. Bush65 and Tdi-rick are among some here that have good shock knowledge.

Ive been advised that konis are the go...
