Installing terrafirma big bore

[ColoDisco]

Has anyone else put these on their rig?
I got the HD+2" springs and the +2" big bore expedition shocks. I cannot find anyone else who has installed them.

[timmy!!!!!!!]

I have them and they ride nice.

Have the +2 shocks, concur on riding nice.

I've been looking at those too. When you guys say they ride nice, how much rougher are they than stock on a scale of 1 to 10? Flex?

Ha! I don't even remember the last time I rode in a stock Land Rover. My rover has OME rear springs and SafariGard front progressive springs that give a total of 3inches of lift. The shocks do their job for the roads in New Orleans.

Sorry it's a bit late to warn you, but those shocks are junk - IMHO. They rode great for a year and ultimately failed. Granted they were on a heavy 110 and were thrashed, so I am sure that contributed to their failure Two of the shocks were essentially empty and were not providing any dampening. Either way, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I hope you have better success!

How heavy was your 110?

Just trying to get a benchmark for comparison. You have a pretty stiff spring setup already. What shocks were you running before the Terrafirmas?

I was running some worn out Fox shocks. It actually rides comparably similar to a friend of mine with a RTE 3in. lift with new fox shocks on an 04 disco now.

Ditto
Also what spring were you running?

I don't have an exact weight, but it's a tdi, full armor (skids, sliders, bumper), winch, NAS cage, tool drawer in the back, recovery tools, 35" spare tire, spare fuel, gear, etc. The springs I had at the time were M&M from the UK. I am now running TF HD springs front and rear with Fox remote reservoir shocks.

I was initially very happy with shock, but they just didn't last with my abuse.

Oh man....stock. No idea how to compare it really since I can't recall a the truck in anything close to stock. I'd say if stock is 0 on your scale then these are like 2-3 (depending on springs they are paired with).
I have LR HD springs F&R, progressive coil in the back + rubber isolators top & bottom + the DII rubber shock tower setup on the front-so the right is cushy by all accounts with ok flex (springs had to be retained b/c the shocks will let them unseat).

We'll see how long they last; my truck is def not as heavy as my last build and not even close to Jonathan's.
