Default Shocks for DF LTD

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some new shocks for my LTD as it's lowered but the Pedders shocks ride pretty hard and the big barge could always benefit from better handling. Can you offer anything for my application?

Cheers,

Tas

I'm assuming they are the sports ryder ones. Try the Pedders comfort shocks, they are more suited to the big barges. I run them in the rear and i'm thinking about ditching the crappy Monroes and running them in the front too.

I'm seriously considering some Konis because a mate can get them quite cheap, but I've seen the Name Shockworks around so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks El Tazo but we don't have dampers for that model Ford so maybe the Pedders might be the way to go as the other member mentioned. Bilsteins would also be a good option!!
Sorry I can't help you with dampers for the DF mate.

Cheers
Brett
