Bilstein Kings purchase

[poly Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close poly]

Hi all looking for some recommendations to purchase this suspension
24-238762
24-217897
For the springs:
Front KTFR-101
Rear KTRR-102
Tried here in QLD but they only would recommend the 712/713 shocks and didn't supply the others
From my research on here and help from fellow members the 24-238762
24-217897 are the better way to go.(I do realise I may need a 10mm spacer for the rear)

My set up is 120 prado ARB bar, dual battery, 1/2 draw and fridge in back.
Do these numbers look right?

Hey poly,

Give John at Zordos Suspension a call, he's in Brisbane and he sells the 24-238762 and 24-217897. While the 712 can be spaced down, the 713 should not be used in a lifted geometry, it is way too short and you'll end up with only 50-60mm of droop in the rear.

+1 don't use the 713's.

If you do want some 713's, I can do a deal, lol. I have some in the shed that have been removed from our 120 after years of disgrace.

Those numbers looks fine. If you want even more flex the rear B46-1478LT will also fit. You'll need extended sway links though.

Hey,

Something to keep in mind for the 1478LT is the coil bucket separation at 625mm open length, see here;

http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...ado-120-series

At 625mm, the bucket separation is 406mm. To keep the coils preloaded so they don't fall out, you need another 10mm or so of free height, so 406+10 = 416mm.

This means 410mm free height coils will likely unload and come loose at full droop, 6mm likely won't be enough to keep them tight in the buckets. Just a little bit of sag on 410mm coils will also mean problems. 410mm coils are right on the limit of becoming free in the 620mm range. My old 327 coils came loose with 618mm shocks, one was completely separated, the other I could easily twist.

You can get 430mm coils from Dobinsons which I am currently using with my 618mm shocks.

A Question will the rear bilstein 24-217897 shock that has a rebound force of 3700 give me to firm a ride in the rear, or is it Spring choice that determines that
I have homemade 1/2 draw with fridge in rear.

no mate.
The 217897 gives a great ride. The ride is mostly determined by the spring
