Twin rear shock conversion

[stinka]

I'm thinking of having some 4mm thick triangular plates cut with a 14mm hole in each corner, this will be assembled on rear shock mounts, 2 at top 2 at bottom with an old shock bush insert to set the gap correct between plates. This will Lower top mount an inch and raise bottom an inch, so giving a tad more droop
On axle. Will weld these plates to the stock mounts bolts so no movement

Might actually make other bolt holes 12mm so I can use landy shocks as they are cheaper

What u think ?

Land rover!:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol you make some good jokes:augie

It makes perfect sense to effectively space the shock mounts so you can use other spec shocks, but double shocks on a T2 a bit ott I think
Better to spend your money on one pair of good ones than 4 cheap duff ones

As you know the options on landy shocks are massive, disco 2 rears are perfect albeit 12mm hole.

Absolutely, top idea but double ?
There's a lot less weight in the back of yours compared with a big fat disco

In the Terrano mod pics, there's about 3 SWB Terrano rally trucks with this mod but using koni raid shocks

Ah yes on raid type stuff it could be a cheap way of getting Fox like results with 2 small shocks instead of a large remote displacement type jobbie :thumbs
As I've said before though the trouble some area of the T2 is the front end mate, that's the heavy bit that likes to eat the dirt

Got my shock loop in mind for front

I'd have 2 up front mate
