Dampers

Post by AndyD » Sat Nov 09, 2013 12:20 pm

So 2 questions;

1. Do you still need a steering damper with power steering?

2. What shocks should I buy for my YJ swap?

I want ant eyes both ends, and probably around 10/11" stroke?
(I think i'll do it properly and do the virtual lift, and fit springs, wheels and tyres first and then get bump and droop measurements)

Jimnybits have ProComps @ £39
Llama 4x4 have Rough County @ £38
West Coast Off Road are a UK importer for Ironman so have e-mailed about prices.

Or does anyone have any other recommendations?

Mitsubishi L200s are a direct fit for the rear.

I've got rough country on the front, L200s on the rear.
