rang up supercheap auto and also repco today for these, apparently the part numbers don't match up on their system...
They've offered to do a little research and to see if they can find the parts, if they come up with another number i'll post it here. If anyone knows any more details or a different part number, we should get the guide amended.

They are softer than the wagon shocks though, and allow for epic downtravel  .
Oh and I run them on the front of mine

Witch shocks would be better with extended shackles and two in lifted springs

These shocks will still be enough.

As bluesuzy said, these will be fine. Most people use these as a cheap option to replace the factory shocks that top out with 2 inch lift.
