- These front struts are pre-assembled in our workshop and ready to go.

The 75mm KZN185 option is only suitable for a NO LOAD front application. If you have accessories, you will need to purchase a kit using a height adjustable shock to accommodate your accessory weight. This is the only way to accommodate load at 3", Any of the following kits will be suitable: IMS & MRA Pre Assembled Struts

We strongly recommend you run an adjustable coil over when opting for a 75mm (3") front lift. This allows you to dial in the ride height while also accommodating varying loads (future proofs your lift if you want to add a bullbar and/or winch in future), and gives you the ability to make any adjustments as necessary come certification time.

Due to the limitations of this vehicles suspension when lifted to 75mm (3") the ride comfort will be affected. The vehicle will be much firmer than on factory suspension and if this is an issue we recommend sticking to a 50mm (2") lift. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.

Profender front shocks for IFS vehicles are supplied with spring seat spacers (collars). These collars fit beneath the spring seat and can be used to increase spring preload and vehicle ride height if additional lift is required in the future.
 
When you order a pre-assembled strut from us, you do not need to install these collars before fitting the strut. Your struts are assembled to your requested ride height and load rating using a correctly specified coil spring.
 
If you are ordering shocks only to use with an existing lifted coil spring, you also do not need to install the collars, provided your current springs are correctly specified.
 
Installing these collars will increase the ride height of your supplied strut. As a guide, the 10 mm collar will typically provide approximately 15 mm of additional vehicle lift, although actual lift will vary depending on vehicle weight, accessories, and spring rate.
 
The collars are supplied separately and are not required for standard installation.
 
New Zealand Compliance Notice: If these collars are fitted to alter the spring seat height and increase ride height, LVV certification will be required before the vehicle can be legally used on the road. Customers should consult an LVV certifier before installation.
 
Shocks installed without the spring seat spacers are generally treated as direct replacement suspension components and typically do not require LVV certification.
