Longer Rear Shocks

[Peteyen86]

Hey guys.

Currently running Bilsteins 2" shocks in the rear. Im pretty sure they are limiting my wheel travel, will confirm tomorrow night.

What options do we have for longer shocks?

Im trying to get some info on the shocks in the link below. Meant to offer more travel but its hard to find any specs.

My bilsteins are about 568 extended and around 355 compressed (hard to measure that by yourself)

[Peteyen86]

Any ideas which ones etc? I do like Bilsteins.

 

[FatBoy89]

Pull one of yours out and measure them closed and open centre of eye to centre of eye an ill tell you

Need the correct eye diameter etc aswell. The hiluxs the same? What shocks are you running and how do they travel.

At this stage I'm running the same as you. But looking at upgrading to a Hilux shock. I standard two inch lifted shock for a Hilux at full extension eye to eye is around 600mm closed at around 375

What about this site: 4WD1.com website

You can just use the site for reference only to help u find a shock with a suitable length...

That sounds like a good size. I guess a little over 600 and as close to 355 closed would be best? Hopefully the webiste i provided the link to at the top gets back to me. 80 bucks a shock for bilsteins... we wont get that here.

I read another guys post saying rancho 3" shocks sold for the navara by companys is the following;

Rancho RS999116...............381 closed, 603 extended

What are the rancho rs9000Xl's like to bilsteins i wonder? Guessing not as good.

Hey mate.

Had a look at that the other night. They quote the same shock as i have for their 3" Bilstein shock. US part number is B461100 i believe and Aus Number for the same shock is B460258. Not sure why they have different prices for the same shock.

I have the numbers at work, so will check that out tomorrow to make sure im right..lol

 

[FatBoy89]

I'd be curious of the eye to eye measurements. Could be a winner

Run Hilux shocks

Agree, I have an EFS 2" lift through mine and the rear shocks are Hilux specs to give longer travel.

[FatBoy89]

All that has is part number though? No lengths or anything to compare?

 

[Krankin]

Oh, is it lengths we are comparing now?

 

[Krankin]

it shows what and if other makes use the same shocks or not

A mate of mine has the Rancho adjustable's on his car (not a Navara but is a coil sprung car) and loves them
