Aftermarket suspension for Puma 2.2
I like the look of the modified suspension with the yellow shock absorbers, I am not looking to lift my truck or lower it what suspension setup would compliment the defender for offroad and on road comfort ? 2016 Defender 90 Adventure Edition

Old Man Emu suspension is highly regarded and what I have on the 110...also they're yellow!

You could also look at Bilstein shock absorbers. They are Yellow and come in standard as we as upgraded. It may be worth upgrading your bushes at the same time.

You can change the dampers and leave the springs standard.

Morning, SupaPro or Polybush, supply kits that replace the worn rubber bushes. They last longer and tighten the suspension up. I changed my OE rubber bushes when I had 165 miles on the clock!

Can't fault mine, totally transforms the ride. I've been very pleased with them on and off road, and that's with the standard 130 springs (and helper rear springs) at the rear which are very stiff.

165 Miles
Yes you read correctly 165 miles, I had the bushes done at the same time as other upgrades. It seemed sensible to have them swapped when the shocks, springs, brakes, galvanised turrets and bushes all at the same time. The rubber bushes could have lasted a couple of months or years.
