Sebastian Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I am installing new OME shocks to my 90. I am thinking on installing twin shocks, at least on front. I don't travel with lots of weight on rear, plan to keep all original springs (80,000 miles), it's a 300TDI, sometimes I catch a bump travelling at fast speeds. Actual shocks are original ones, don't know how much they will last so I prefer to change them now, also I expecto to get less bouncing. What are your recommendations? Are there any disadvantages? Thanks in advance for all your advice! -Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Don't forget that shocks do not affect load carrying capacity - they just dampen the springs. Twin shocks are only required for sustained high speed travel on rough surfaces (like corrugated unsurfaced roads) - the load is shared by the two shocks so they heat up (and consequently fade loosing damping ability) slower. For 99% of Land Rover owners, twin shocks are not necessary. You will find the OME shocks will be a huge improvement over your tired originals. I would fit single OME's and enjoy the improvement. If you still feel you need twin shocks you can always add them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
