Using Aftermarket Dampers
Evenin' folks,
Looking for a bit of a steer regarding the suitability of using a set of dampers that I have.
The manufacturers original-eqiupment and non-adjustable damper lengths were:
Front Open 364 mm Closed 261mm
Rear Open 398 mm Closed 283 mm
The aftermarket shocks I have are are adjustable for height and rate and they emasure:
Front Open 357mm Closed 275mm
Rear Open 417 Closed 317mm
These measurements are all metal-to-metal. I guess I could trim the bump-stops to give me more length?
The vehicles have a similar weight distribution, so the valving should be fine.
Any thoughts about the likelihood of them working out?
Cheers

Maybe use harder springs, so will be enough travel
Never be afraid to do what you are insolvent, remember: amateurs built the ark - Professionals built the Titanic.
