gelf Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 right then was messing about today and sorting suspension on rogue, ive removed the exsisting ones pictured. now the new turrets i have for the front are to tall as the inner wheel arches were built around the blue ones......... so are lower ones available? and if so, i suppose the +5" shocks will be to long? just thinking of easier ways rather than cutting up the inner wheel arches. humour me please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 My help if you explain why you are binning the blue ones. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 cos i dont think they will attach to a standard front axle? unless someone tells me otherwise. rogue had toyota axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noggy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 LR shocks do not have that fitting at the top of the front shock. why not use a LR rear shock on the front? i think that would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 the issue is that they were on a 3 point linkage system and the shock is outside of the spring, where as i need to mount mine in the conventional manner and i was looking at doing it without cutting rogue inner arches up........ but thats by the by. ive found some shorter turrets now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 standard axles can be used with the shock out of the spring, you just need to get the bottom mounting from a double shock set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
