Thread: 110 rear shocks, what type???

Try the KONI factory in Vermont South, they should be able to get a shock that suits your needs, even if they have to make one by changing the pin/eyes around. They've got 10 way adjustment and a supposedly good for 400,000km, which should off set their higher initial cost. Otherwise from memory the Ironman range had longer travel than their equivalent competitiors (theyre in Clayton).

Rob,

I have OME on mine. I ended up getting the springs resized down. The shocks were just too short.

BTW I have finally got around to scanning some project photos and put them on the album. I havn't managed to label the album yet.

retards

pd

why not space the shock down with a spacer the same thickness as
the lift?
do you have more travel in suspension now than before mod?
if travel is the same it should work with just a spacer.

just a thought....maybe not a good one as i do have a headache and it hurts when i think.

I have rancho rs9000's and they work well. Just tell them what length you need when you order.

I had ironman and snapped the shock in half as it was two short.

Lower the rear top shock mount.

Bilstien, Koni.

both can and will supply to lth.

the rest are just so -so.

NO don't just lower the shock mount, as the axle articulates and compresses the up-side the shock WILL become the bumpstop and they won't last long. yes you need a longer open shock with the same closed lenght. i have been speaking with KONI, very helpfull and just give them the messurements open/closed and they will make one. yes it will be expensive, BUT, it will work, have the correct valving and last. get some totota 80 series long travel in konis for the front and some sloted bushes and you'll be away.
cheers, Serg

Is it just me or dose no one have axle limiting straps/wire rope/ fitted to their landies? that straps purpose in life is to prevent your axle articulating to far and "snapping " your shocks. 8O
There is probably a reason why knowone makes shocks that long with a warrenty, because you would only need the slightst malfunction or misshap to snap one. If you need over half a meter in articulation to get some where, maby you should be asking your self "do I really need to go there?" I know I know I sound like your mother But.....
Food for thought
