2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Orkney Grey

It seems to me most are switching from Bilstien to Fox and as you already have Fox Andy, I wonder why you're considering going back to B6's? Just out of interest and future planning.

Agree with Roy. Have had both and if is comfort you are after the fox is defiantly worth the extra cash.

Co1 - hope you dont mind me asking but you are close to me, who fitted/supplied your Fox shocks?

Alive supplied At the time they were cheapest. Paddocks sold them for a while but don’t any more. I fitted them. Your welcome to have a test drive when Boris lets us back out. The rears are a piece of cake to fit, fronts are a bit of a faff as you need to take the turrets off. There isn’t much space on a TDCI to do this, but given plenty of time it’s not difficult.

Where about are you? I can recommend a few garages in the area.

Roy fitted them to mine

I got them from Alive and I’m delighted with them combined with the lowering springs and ARB

Second that (well, not the bit about Roy fitting them!). Alive comfort springs and ARB is a superb combo.
