Hi all
I thought I'd finally get these pics up. I've been holding off as the tyres were delayed into the country.
Today I fitted my 1st ever External Canister Prototype Shocks, made for me by OME. Im creating a 'Premium Range' for my suspension packages which these shocks will be used for.
They will be for use in the rear of the KJ's, KK's, WH's & XH's (of course with different valving between models).
I'm going to go through 3 different sets of valves to get the right medium, the gas pressure (Nitrogen) in the External Canister is what changes the firmness and increases the shocks ability to resist fade. These shocks will be for the purist who wants and needs that level of adjustability. They excel in damping vehicles that tow alot or travel over harsh on and off road conditions loaded.
My lift has yeilded around 550mm center of wheel to guard in the rear and 550mm in the front although the springs I've got in are for a bar or bar/winch combo which I'm waiting for still. It should sit around 535mm in the front which is where I want it. I'll also be fitting the genuine Mopar Bash Plates to the front end but they wont change the measurements much if at all.
Im running the AEV Pintler rims which have the perfect offset for my BFG 265/70/17's. Zero rubbing and no need to trim the bolt in the upright.
My coils as always will come with a Lifetime Warranty backed up by King Springs Australia Wide. My OME manufactured shocks all come with the 2yr 40,000klm Warranty Australia Wide through any ARB Dealer.
(pay no attention to the NSW plates! It was a demo I bought from a Sydney Jeep Dealership!)
