The shocks come with their own washers and bushes but i presume you mean the washer in the turret? i reused mine they were like new, i would contemplate fitting new shock turrets, i wish i had done this to mine at the time.
Great shocks though, you will need an extra hand you help push the turret down to secure in place the fox have a lot more resistance to the OEM  2016 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8

Thanks for the tip bear! I am fitting all new hardware from gwyn lewis including turrets, spring seats, retaining plates etc. I was more referring to the smaller washers with the lip that centralise the shock in the turrets and base. I can't tell from the images of the shocks as to whether they come with them.

They come with the upper and lower washers, i reused mine in the turret (wish i had done the turrets at the time, anyway a set on order for a future fit) mine didn't have them on the lower end just the top, i don't think it will make a great deal of difference if you added them though

Id recommend ditching the poly bushes and fitting OEM rubber bushings. 2006 (56) 110 Td5 Double Cab

I couldn’t get in with the supplies bushes, so keep your old one case. Mine were too stiff and actually impacted articulation. My tears also didn’t come with the top washer and I had to put the dirty old ones one. Unlike LikeOMG mine are still on 🙁

Click image to enlarge Machine mine down to 20mm, still swapped them out for rubber bushings on the front axle with the correct washers. The rolling comfort and plushness is not there with the polyurethane bushes supplied. still using the supplied rear bushes atm, but going to try out Genuine LR ones soon. 2006 (56) 110 Td5 Double Cab Instagram @110_td5 |

Sorry for the old thread restart, but the title is correct.
Just about to install Alive comfort springs and fox shocks. I have one pair of rubber gaiters. Do you need gaiters on front and back? Or do I fit on the fronts now, as they are a PIA to fit later, and then add to the rears later as that’s quite easy? Do you even need them on the fronts? I am assuming on the rears they are needed as the crud that gets chucked up by the front tyres will hit the rear shocks. I’ve looked on here at various threads and photos of other peoples installs do not seem to have a common solution. |

I have 🦊 front and rear. They do not come with gaiters. GET SOME. The rears were replaced under warranty for leaking out all the oil due to seal damage caused by stones. Rears only required.
