2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Orkney Grey

mrd - i had the konis firsty. The improvement was good, but it was still jolty at the back, especially unladen. The spings and konis together made it spot on

Pics of the Alive uprated ARB. Dug it out of storage at the weekend.

It could do with a bit of a spruce-up before fitting (if you are as fussy as me!). Includes mountings, polybushes, and nuts/bolts. One of the nuts is missing for some reason but I assume the originals (the ones you take off) will fit

Out of interest what Koni shocks have you got? I assume they do more than one type?
