MAP is $231 a shock.
So, is the goal 800 for 2, or 800 for 4.
I dont know much about these shocks... any additional info? Are they extended travel?

The price will be for all four dampers. They are larger and longer than stock, I'll get the numbers. If there is a Land Cruiser of dampers, these are likely it. Rebound damping is adjustable, so they can work well with most springs.
Are those for fire trucks 
?
?

The Raids (90s) were originally developed for heavy/commercial truck applications. The tech was then applied to their race divisions (hence the “raid” naming). These shocks are extremely robust. The rear shocks are available in NA, but not the fronts. Best bet is to stack up some buyers to get in on some good pricing.

Red works, but my favorites are the tan units they produce for the MRAP trucks...
So these are 2.5" body, 7/8" shaft, progressive shocks with adjustable rebound... Sounds good on paper. Can you confirm this application is 7/8"?
I was gonna look for some Kings or Radflos, but these could save a lot of money, albeit without a reservoir.

As part of a group buy I put adjustable Koni’s on one of my street cars a few years ago. It’s like the shocks knew what was coming before I hit it. Absolute magic. I loved them.

KONi all day long.
installed this on a Land Rover 99 and ride was 10x better it felt like ‘09 stock 200 series. Smooth as butter over uneven road conditions over bumps and cracks. Highly recommend the RAID type.

I have them on my medium weight (arb front, sliders, and drawers out back) LX470 with swayaway torsion bars and ome 866. I have them maxed out in the rear and maybe a half turn from max in the front.
It rides great but it sucks to be out of adjustment. Btw, it sucks to adjust dampening. It requires you to pretty much remove the shocks to adjust dampening and we all know how fun the rears are lol.

These shafts on these are 18mm.
The trick for adjusting the rear is to leave the top bolted in. Unbolt the lower eye, compress and adjust. Still a bit of pain, but better than being stuck with improperly valved dampers.

I'm very interested
Thanks. Please update us when you you have the lengths as well.
I'm curious as well
Do you not reinstall the rubber donut after adjustment?
Would the "Heavy Track" shocks also be offered? if so what's the use case for those vs the Raid?

Yes, reinstall the rubber bumper afterwards.
IMO, the heavy tracks are a bit on the small side for the application. With that said, many would probably be just fine with them.

Any idea how these are meant to compare to the heavy duty foam cell options offered by the other vendors? I've got an adjustable shock that doesn't require removal to adjust, just a turn of a knob. Curious what the benefits might be with these parts.
