It has 2 inch blocks in the rear with shocks from the front of a diesel land rover. Very stiff
Has a set of progressive king springs in the front but unsure what they are out of. Found them in a pile at a wreckers. Has standard shocks but need to replace them with some stiffer ones.
Front is a bit uncaptive but will be sweet when I put some new shocks In and get them shortened.
Is illegal height with the red wheels on it. Sits at about 75mm to 80 mm off the ground.
For wofs I just put on some 14s with taller tyres so it scrapes in over 100 mm (just)
You need to use the shortened adjustable dampers with the lowering springs to keep them captive.
The other option is to have the std ones machined down in length, but for the hassle you might as well make a better job of it and use the adjustables. You guys should look into a group buy to save on shipping.
Hey I'm from Australia and just purchased a 360 got it's already got re set leafs is ther an exact model of the diesel land rover that u get the shocks from and are they front shocks or rear ones u get ??
