I bet you can find a 5100 that will fit on the rear of you just cross reference the length you need. The front would be a different story.

I just put 4600's on a 3/4 ton ford and I'm fairly certain the rear shocks would have been a direct fit on my disco and might have fit on the front of it had the pin in the bottom

Munro shocks used to be good and economical but I don't know whether they are any good these days.

Please don't tell me TF are rubbish, I've got them on my truck

TF118's and 119's also a steering damper.

All I can say is, sorry! Ever since my poor experiences with Terrafirma shocks, I've been preaching the same thing. Supposedly they've improved quite a bit from when I ran them, but I switched to Fox and haven't looked back.

What does your suspension setup consist of? My concern with the Fox shocks and a 2" lift is that the body is too long and will inhibit max compression.

Great Basin rovers can get you the blisteins. They swap out the bushing on all of them and put in poly bushings that are made to fit the d2.

RTE 3" springs, Fox performance series 11" remotes


Compression isn't an issue, nor is extension

Just wanted to give everyone an update... TF isn't replacing these as they are out of warranty but the great people at Lucky8 gave me a slight discount on a new set. I am happy with this as a resolution as every little bit helps.

Given my new engine problems I'm sure you've now read my budget is a tad limited and TF will be going back in.

My OME's on my Disco are holding up nicely. I wish I could say the same about my Rancho RS9000's on my Nissan Frontier. I had to replace the fronts after 25k miles and the rears are about done at 35k.
