Did 2 trips down the canning, across the Anne Bedell (if you want corrugations try the section between Emu and Mabel Creek), all around the top end up and down the west coast etc. Had them on my old GQ coil cab which was just over 4T when fully loaded with camper on the back. Think I might just go back to the old Rancho 5000's. It' all getting too much!!!Īnother shock to think about are the Edelbrocks' they are only marginally more expensive than the Bilsteins. Have also found many sites regarding the Td's. Couple of sites mentioned Bilsteins pulling off the eyes and could be attributed to the smaller diameter eye.
Wooley, fox shocks would be fantastic, but there is a limit to the budget!!Īm going even more crazy looking at various web sites. With what you have (TS springs & Bilsteins) I was very impressed. Twintube (eg Koni) vs monotube (eg Bilstein).Went and had a look at smakb's ride today, thanks for the offer and the drive and the chat smakb, was very much appriciated. Twintube (eg Koni) vs foam cell (eg Toughdog) All high performance shocks across manufacturers are based on this style of design. As they heat up, the gas pressure increases and the shock improves. Koni is a nitrogen twin shell - when these overheat they fade but will recover once cooled down again.īilstein is a monotube - these do not fade due to high gas pressure. TD is a foam cell - note that many peoples experiences are that once overheated the foam breaks down and the shock fades and it does not recover to normal operation once cooled. These ones are quality and will last.įor operation check out the propaganda videos links below, but they will give you an idea.
Premium shocks are the Bilstein and Koni. You've got 3 different shiock designs there. Essentially, when there is a noticeable drop in the shock’s ability to control the energy of the spring, then they will need a seeing to. I'll get the front and rear of the defender weighted and add any future mod weight before I order to make sure I get the right springs.ĥ0MM PREMIUM KIT WITH KONI SHOCK ABSORBERS | Suspension Mega Storeĥ0MM PREMIUM KIT WITH BILSTEIN SHOCK ABSORBERS | Suspension Mega Storeĥ0MM PREMIUM KIT WITH TOUGH DOG SHOCK ABSORBERS | Suspension Mega Store Tough Dog’s David Cook affirmed that point: If the vehicle is recycling or bouncing more than once after travelling over a large bump, then the shock is probably due for replacement. Also is the steering damper worth upgrading? Thinking Tough Dog return to centre damper. My brother in law is a mechanic and will help me install it. I'd love koni raids but can't justify the cost. Currently running 33" MT tires but may eventually go to 35".
I'm about to get a 2" lift for my 2013 Defender 110 but I can't decide what suspension to go with.
