phil200tdi Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Anyone running these shock mounts? http://www.mcdonaldlandrover.co.uk/parts/mib-flex-kit-hardware.html Just spotted them in Lro and front mounts especially look interesting.. Pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil200tdi Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Sorry that should Read MIB Flex Kit. Anyone got any comments on the front mount? The shock will now be outside of the spring which I would expect should give more articulation? I'll be using terrafirma +2" springs and +5" shocks so would have to go down the LT shock mount route (a la Gwyn Lewis etc) but these look interesting...

phil200tdi Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I cant find a decent image on their website (or anywhere else showing them set up...! But you can find this on Page 53 of this months LRO magazine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The kit looks thought out and well put together. I know some guys who have installed and run it, with mixed results depending on the truck use. If you just pay and play and binble about then its fine. But one off the guys that i know competes with his truck found the rear shock mounts would bend out from the chassis, so he had to tie them in at the top, and he also found that he was killing the front shocks by bottoming them out. Now the front shock problems from the look of it was down to his very light springs and the shock being to long. Just putting shocks in front of the springs will not give you more articulation unless you use shocks of a longer stroke length. I run my shocks in front of the springs but not for more articulation, but because my bumpstop mount inside the springs. As the shocks are still at the same height and length as if they were located normally in side the springs then the result is no change to the front axle travel. the setup and at full drop no amazing articulation but then thats not want i need/want from my truck... hope this helps Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil200tdi Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks Paul If there is no articulation to be gained then I think Gwyn Lewis' kit is a better option for me(tried and tested).. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryevans88 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 How do these compare to the WKD kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
