Hey guys, just to follow up. I have made a few enqiuries but to no avail. I have been told that my 50mm lift ( probablly more like 35mm) is too high for the long travel Koni' and I will top out????? is this true? AS i am sure there are people here who have got a 50mm lift and have fitted long travel Koni shocks.

Slunnie what have you got under your disco.??

Rubbish. Nothing to worry about at 50mm.

Buy konis. Be happy.

That's a song, right?

standard Koni's aren't very long, basically standard stroke.
RR air suspension fronts are a touch longer than coiler fronts. I have the specs filed if you want them, or do a search on OL as I listed them there years ago.
Any 30-50mm lift kit you get uses standard stroke dampers. To get longer stroke you either have to substitute different dampers (eg. 80 Series TLC fronts for Landy fronts) and modify (lift) the towers so they wont go metal to metal.
There are numerous threads on here and OL on this.
You can also contact Jeff at Proven Products, tell him what you want and he can make a Koni to suit, with the appropriate valving.

<edit> BTW, what is your bump stop clearance sitting on a level piece of concrete ?

The Distance between the bump stop and the axil if any one is interested is 145 at the rear and 115 on the front The konis work great at a medium setting at the front and at hard at the rear to give a very smoth ride.
