Thread: Isuzu shocks

Does anyone have a PN for bilsteins rears that are about 2" longer than the standard items? Does such a beast exist???

I bought them for my County.
Described as --
B46-1477 LONG TRAVEL REAR TO SUIT 110 LAND ROVER
I also got stone protectors 46M1478
Quadrant automotive, the Melb distributor's part no for the protectors was SP-1123
They also fitted SP-1021 UNI LARGE EYE BUSH E4-B46-450 X 4

I find the shocks work well with the air springs. Others have reported differently though.
