Before ordering, please ensure that you have measured the size of the shock absorbers that you require. To find out the correct shock absorber for you, simply follow the below steps:
1.Remove your existing shock absorbers on both sides.
2.Lower the vehicle back on to its wheels and ensure the vehicle has settled.
3.Measure the distance between the centre of the two shock absorber mounting points.
4.Choose a shock absorber that your measurement is at least midway between the collapsed and extended measurement, there must be at least 2 inches of up and down movement from the normal ride height. (It is recommended that you allow 70% of downward movement and 30% of upward movement).
Please note: shock absorbers should always be replaced in pairs. Before fitting we also recommend collapsing and extending the shock absorber a few times in the correct position to remove bubbles that may have formed while in storage.
