hey guys just wondering what shock combos everyones using in their sierras. i got stock shocks at the moment and they constantly bottom out (spoa conversion) dont wanna spend big bucks on em.

so whats a cheap alternative to longer travel shocks?

[fordem]

Relocate the shock mounts? Relocate the bump stops? Fit limiting straps?

Is the problem the lack of travel or that at rest the shock is not mounted mid stroke?

flex it up & post up the open & closed measurements front & back that you need.... or take those measurements to supercheap & have a look through the shock book or any online one.s

Just got a set of Ultima shocks i know when comparing shock sizes etc there where quite a few that would suit a sierra, there pretty good shocks for the price, Would be between $99 - $145 a set, for 4 sierra shocks its $208, there pretty cheap, but come with a 3 year 100,000k warranty so if stuff up your covered anyways.

I bought from here http://store.onlineautoparts.com.au/

Do as atari said, measure compressed and extended length and work out what Shock size ya need.

The longer you go the longer the compressed length is, main thing you dont want is the shocks bottoming out, so may need extended bump stops.

Easiest thing i did is search for Eye and look at all shocks eye to eye

Some shocks i found:

Suzuki Sierra Standard Lengths
Part Number: 360005 Mount: EB1 EB1 Compressed: 283mm Extended: 454 mm

Suzuki Sierra Extended Lenth: Ultima 4x4 HD Shocks (raised 3")
Part Number: 360075 Mount: EB1 EB1 Compressed: 321mm Extended: 531mm Nissan Urvan

Nissan Pintara Wagon Shocks $109 a set (ultima 4x4 GT shocks) Raised 3"

Part Number: 360075S Mount: EB1 EB1 Compressed: 321mm Extended: 531mm Car: 6/86 - 90 Nissan Pintara S/Wagon R
6/86 - 91 Nissan Skyline S/Wagon R

I gather the Pintara/Skyline shocks would provide a nicer ride for the sierra, the urvan shocks are also for jeep cherokee and reasonably heavey vehicals, from memory my pintara weighed 1200Kg

This also came to mind, Me was board this morn, could use instead of bump stops.
