rear shocks changability

Postby Mike- » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:30 pm

im wanting some solid shocks in the back of my ke70 wagon as at the moment theres not much room between the diff housing and the bumpstops,

can i just slap in some 4x4 shocks or do i need to get proper ke70 ones?

I chucked some 4X4 shocks into my ke30, made a noticable difference but when i have people in the back it still sits on the diff.

Stiffer leaf spring and shock combo is what you ideally want.

ya ive got some reset leaves which are apparently stiffer but it sits on the bumpstops, so i was going to shave them and then get some really stiff shocks,

anyone got some ideas on what i could use?
