Give us a call at the office during business hours. We can sort you out with new shocks and damper. These are our newest shock the Boss 12 Way adjustable foam cell shock. A really awesome shock and heaps cheaper than Tough Dog 9 way adjustables. They are $198 each and this month we are offering a free heim joint with every shock. If you ring and say ur found out about this on AUszookers forum we should be able to work a better price for you. here's a link : http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Std-2-Front-12Ad ... otohosting THey come in a heap of different lengths and the good thing about them is that the shocks have interchangable terminations in either pin or eye fittings so they are suitable for a wide range of vehicles. We can do a good price on these if you are interested. The best thing about them is the fact that you can get to a wheelin' spot and adjust the shock to the softest setting for low speed crawling work then on your way back home crank them up to 9-12 setting for go cart like handling. I'll be putting these on my zook when I finally get it back on the road. They are a no tool adjustable shock i.e. a dial located on the shock body. If you have rear up front setup make sure you get fully compressed and fully extended measurements between your upper and lower shock mount plus static ride height measurement between upper and lower shock mount. This will give us the best chance of sorting out the right shock length for your zook. Cheers Dan |

do you have any amount of suspension lift? ARB make a good damper at about $100 VS wagon rear shocks work well in the front, but need bumpstop spacers which will suck if you dont have any lift |

im very limited in my 4x4 knowledge and its hard to make a choice not sure what to do
my driving needs dont require a lift so i would be looking for just shocks and dampner im not a serious off roader so nothing extreme just well priced and reliable |

if your not planning on modifying your suspension at all just go to a suspension place, supercheap etc. and get some standard sized sierra shocks |

I ripped my dampener off on the weekend, then drove home over a hundred kms, I couldn't feel any difference between having and not having the dampener... It is a tough dog RTC type too. |

Cade, I am putting a lift kit in my zuk as soon as it arrives and will be replacing the shocks, the stock ones in it at the moment probably have less than 500km on them. They are all yours if you want them, just have to pay postage from Nth Qld. Should have the lift kit this week, will know tomorrow. Let me know if you want them. Rapson |
