Hi Brett. There were 58 RTV owners on the forum at last count. I'm at least one of them that wish there was a quality shock absorber purpose made for these RTV utes.

Having a Falcon (ute) and Territory item already surely it couldn't be that much more development involved

Pretty please

Rob

OK so, is there anyone who could drive to Shockworks in Monbulk so we can check out the lengths of the dampers we would need to make?
We already have the mounts so would involve a body length change and should be fairly easy:-)
To be honest I need so sell at least 10 sets to cover the development and tuning costs so if we have some interest I think we can do it guy's!!

Cheers
Brett

Hi Stangboy,
The adjustable kit would be the same price as the Ford ute which is $2000.Not sure about what height but will be able to achieve the standard factory heights.
What heights do the RTV guys want???

Cheers

I can't speak for others, but I would like about another 1" or 2" lift, i believe that's about all the adjustment in the standard arms.

Can you raise the height with just longer struts, don't think so, I think you just adjust the load on the strut giving a firmer or softer ride.
