Rear Shocks for lifted MY?

Post by legacytt » Tue Oct 16, 2007 5:54 am

What are people using? Is there an off the shelf version for another model/manufacturer that is the right length and has the right fittings at each end? Needed for a 2 inch lifted Brumby.

i may still have the rear shocks i was using before i got the pump up shocks

i wasnt using a strut extension for 4" of lift, but that did restrict the down travel a tad

can have a look if youre interested

I've just got myself a couple of Hilux shocks with an eye at each end, I'm going to attempt to take the inners out of the eyes in the original shock and put them into the Hilux ones, I'm going to have to get some different rubber gromits because the ones which came with the shocks has too big centre hole, Will let you know how I go.
