Ironman 4x4 Nitro Gas Shock Absorber 12640GR - Land Rover Defender

Short Product Summary

Part 12640GR is a Nitro Gas Shock Absorber from Ironman 4x4 for Land Rover Range Rover Classic 1970 to 1996, Discovery I 1989 to 1998, Defender 90 1984 onward and Defender 110 and 130 1990 to 2016. It pairs a twin-wall body with full steel construction and is tuned for the vehicle it is listed for.

Why This Product

Off-road driving is hard on standard dampers, especially once the vehicle is lifted or loaded with camping gear. This shock brings a twin-wall body and steel construction to the job, and each part number is tuned to one application rather than being a generic fit.

Key Features

• Twin-wall design – a sturdy twin-wall body that copes with corrugations and rough tracks
• Full steel construction – the body and spring seat are steel, which suits heavy-duty use
• Vehicle-specific tuning – each part number is tuned to the vehicle it is listed for, aiming at a good ride and lift
• 16mm rod, 35mm piston – the internal sizes listed for this design
• 54mm body – the body diameter listed for this design
• Suited to lifted vehicles – made for vehicles carrying a variety of loads, whether for work or play

Ideal For

• Owners of the Land Rover Defender and Discovery looking for a part tuned to their vehicle instead of a generic fit
• Lifted-vehicle drivers who carry mixed loads and want damping suited to a raised vehicle
• Work-and-play users who use the vehicle for the job during the week and for camping trips after it
