Additional Information

Terrafirma 4 Stage Adjustable shocks

Sharing all the features of the Pro Sport shock the 4 Stage Adjustable includes 4 stages of damping adjustment; Comfort, Standard, Firm and Sport giving the driver the opportunity to match the damping performance with the coil spring rate, gross vehicle weight and desired handling characteristics to optimise performance and handling with the already acknowledged strength and reliability of the Pro Sport. The advantages when driving off road are remarkable as these shocks are built with hard core use in mind. Simply turn the easy to rotate knob on the body of the shock to adjust the shock to you preferred setting, Standard offers the same damping ratio as the Pro Sport, Comfort offers a softer ride and Firm and Sport really stiffen things up. For vehicle owners who want one shock to handle additional load at the weekend and another to cruise to work with then this the shock for you. Available from standard travel up to +5“(125mm) longer travel, the 4 Stage shocks are a super tough twin tube design with a large 18mm shaft and 35mm piston. Low pressure nitrogen keeps the oil under pressure which prevents it from cavitating which causes shock fade, something the 4 Stage is never troubled with.

In keeping with all Terrafirma shocks these shocks are striking and stylish, finished with a high quality deep silver paint to resist corrosion and including the smart Terrafirma 4 Stage Adjustable shock absorber logo, a bright red semi rigid plastic dust shield with embossed Terrafirma logo protects the double chromed shaft from stone damage.

Terrafirma 4 Stage Adjustable shocks are perfect when combined with Terrafirma coil springs to give a 2” (50mm) lift with a corresponding increase in wheel travel.

Terrafirma 4 Stage Adjustable +3 & 5” long travel shocks

The challenge to conquer the largest rocks and deepest ruts is hugely appealing to hard-core off-road drivers. Whether you’re in competition or just driving for fun, keeping the tyres in contact with the ground and the vehicle stable is crucial to successfully mastering the roughest terrain. Long travel suspension is not new, however achieving great performance, control and reliability is more than just fitting any old long travel shocks. To maximise performance across the range of spring rates and vehicle loads the 4 Stage Adjustable shocks are used in all our long travel applications up to +5” (125mm) longer than standard.

The Terrafirma 4 Stage Adjustable +5” long travel shock for Defenders, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classics is made with pin mountings top and bottom which directly replaces the original front shock. The traditional rear top eye mount on the All Terrain and Pro Sport shocks however will not accommodate the extreme articulation achieved with the Extreme shocks. To enable a rear pin top mount shock to be fitted requires a special mounting kit TF519. The kit comprises a pair of brackets and all necessary nuts and bolts.

For the Discovery 2 the +3” longer travel 4 Stage Adjustable shock is ideal, the standard suspension system is ‘tight’ and will not allow enough flex to use a longer shock. When combined with +2” coil springs the +3” shocks ad significant axle travel keeping the wheels of your D2 on the ground.
