However, for square edge bumps like uneven bridge expansion joints, the shocks really blew through their travel related to the DFV design. Just curious how that would work in an off road application. Thanks
I don't believe they have DFV. These are specifically designed for on and off road. Here is their description of it helps

Ah, that looks to be a completely different design (monotube vs twin tube). The hydraulic bump stop (PDS) is a really cool feature - I have a mountain bike fork with HBO and it's super smooth on big hits. These should be an awesome upgrade for those with coils.

So far, they are proving to be a very good upgrade. I am scheduled to get on the shake rig at the Öhlins us HQ once the last damper is completed. It will surely make for a cool video. I hope to have production sets available in the next couple months. It will become part of our Stage 1 builds also. On another note, we are working with them to get a bypass dongle for the rear air suspension equipped vehicles so that these rear shocks can be run instead of the weak factory electronic dampening shocks. Also working on adapting the front dampers for air suspension.

Yeah, you're probably right. The guy seems like he loves the attention. I shouldn't have fed the bloated ego and given him a reason to show us his Defender parked in gravel.

Fires the gun with a "How about..." suggestion for a guy who's probably not asking for suggestions from keyboard warriors with vehicles on 22's.

I need the attention and yet you keep posting..

I guess the word gravel mean something different in bumfuk..

Well, l have a basic specification 2022 Defender 90 on coil springs with 18" steel wheels and l would love to try a set of adjustable dampers on it.

However l would not be interested in a suspension lift kit so will have to wait until someone makes adjustable dampers for the standard springs.

These will work with stock height coil springs also.

I’ve pretty much confirmed I have a rattly rear shock on my AIR suspension 110 now.

I know this is a coils product in this thread but my question is. Has anyone come out with a stronger set of stock length rear shocks that work with the factory air suspension system? (ie I have no body lift but run 1.5” lift rods and 33” tires)

A quick online search didn’t find anything, which is surprising 5 years into the model run. Anyone?
