leeds Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 On my 110 overland vehicle which has X springs fitted to the rear I seem to destroy the rear shock absorbers. So any advice on what shock absorbers to fit? Currently considering Ralph shock absorbers which have a 5 year/100,000 miles warrenty. Any good or bad experiences with these shocks?

JonR Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 "If you've worn out your existing shocks in quick time, fit some Ralphs! " Never realised there was more than one of you...and anyway, what have you got that other shocks haven't? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeds Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 haven't got a clue, didn't know these shocks existed until this evening. Have a look HERE Back of my 110 has X springs fitted and raised shock mounts with +8" shocks. Twin shocks have been suggested but am not sure how that can be done with raised shock mounts. Destroyed some +4" shocks within 8000 miles on standard mounts by bottoming shocks out on Eastern European roads. Hence raised mounts. Ideas welcomed.

bishbosh Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 When you went from +4 to +8 shocks did you cycle the suspension without the springs in to check the shock doesn't top out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
