Thread: Kings Spings & Bilsteins Shockies

mate the same set up from here will cost excess of a grand, so go for it. That setup is close to the best you could get buy far !

cheers

What part number did you have for the Bilsteins?

A pair of Bilsteins in Australia can be purchased for around AUD$430 so if you are wanting to get a set of front and rears, it should set you back around $860 just for the shocks alone.

The bilstein shocks to suit a 2" lifted Disco II part numbers are as follows

BE5-B994
Extended Length:615.5
Closed length:390.5
Rebound of 3045Nm
Bump of 930 Nm
Rated at.52 M per Sec.

BE5-B995 (F4-BE5-B995-M0)

Ext Length:618mm
Closed Length:388mm
Rebound of 2555Nm
Bump of 1035Nm
Rated at .52 Per sec

F4-BE5-B995-MO is the full part number for the rear shocks, if I look at the packaging on the box.

The bilstein shocks to suit a stock, non-lifted Disco II part numbers are as follows:

Front F4 BE5 6046 HO
Rear F4 BE5 6047 HO

If you want to look at Old Man Emu shocks, this info may be of use:

OME shocks
FRONT = Open 608mm, Closed 373mm
REAR = Open 593mm, Closed 363mm

You can easily find the part numbers for OME here:

Old Man Emu OME Suspension Nitrocharged Shocks Springs - Expedition Exchange

Yes, the Billies to suit a 2" lift are slightly longer than the OMEs for 2" lift as I've compared them side by side. You'll need to think about fitting raised bump stops if you purchase Bilsteins for the 2" lift.




Good luck with your decision!
