Procomp +2" shock question

#1 Post by HeadDamage » Tue Sep 04, 2007 7:08 pm

I have OME 781 springs on the rear of my 90 and LR HD rear 90 springs on the front. The 90 sits right and is well balanced off road so I'm very happy with the springs. Next step is longer shocks... will Procomp ES9000 +2" shocks work with these springs and the stock shock mounts without needing relocation cones and/or extended bump stops? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Andrew,

Which part numbers?

I got a set of the Pro Comps listed for Landrover and they were shorter than the genuine rover ones!!

Later,
Don

if you have a few minutes. or an hour. give bill at GREAT BASIN ROVERS A CALL. he wont recomend those shocks. he favours BILSTEINS, or OLD MAN EMU. i have OLD MAN EMU. From Him On Now with my parabolics from HOLLAND. and they were long enough for the military shackles and the lift from the parabolics. and they are so smoth. wow. RICK.M.

I've got the 90 up on stands and with the rear springs removed and the +2" ProComps fitted I've moved the suspension through all it's range and the stock brake line and bump stops look to be fine but the springs will need cones or retainers because they can drop about 2" out of the seats now. I'll be using some rover tyme retainers that I picked up from a local shop that had them sitting around but it would be just as easy to make your own from 1/4" flat bar.

Now that the rear is all done I'm working on the front. Seems like the front will need retainers or cones to. Any ideas on retaining the top of the front springs?
