Hey guys I hope someone can answer me quick. I am literally in the middle of replaceing my shocks and putting the new OMEs in when I notice they seem to be really long. I had ordered a standard N45 and N46 for the front and rear and someone at Rovers North sent me a LONG TRAVEL set. Obviously partially my fault for not overtly inspecting them beyond the Rovers North sticker stated the correct shock style. Will these fit my stock Disco? I have old, I am assuming since I bought it used, stock springs. I could only do the shocks first. Help please this is my Daily Driver and I need an answer before Monday.

 

How long are they?

 

When I take the metal hanger thing that they came packaged in and they fully expand they are 28" give or take. They say long travel very small on the box they came in.

 

What brand of long travel shocks did they send you?

 

They are Old Man Emu style N45f for the front and N46 for the back but they say long travel on the box. Do they all say that and they just need to be compressed to be put in?

 

If they do not have a side reservor, you got the correct shock in the wrong box. Long travels sell for $300 a piece and would have put a huge dent into your credit card.

 

yes the shocks need to be partially compressed to install. have you compared the length to what youve got on now? ive never seen a "long travel" ome shock at rn and a shock model number doesnt come in normal and long varieties. i have shocks that extend to 29" and when fully compressed, they wouldnt fit in at stock height.

 

i have a 97 series 1 discovery. Would the n95f shock for the front would work on my truck?

 

With what suspension/lift and what shock is that??

 

OK all OME boxes say long travel 4x4, or something to that effect. Like Disco Mike said if you don't have that reservoir it's not a "long travel" shock in the sense that you are thinking. that being said the travel on an OME shock is greater than factory, so i guess thats why it says "long travel" on the box.
