Shocks for Jackaroo...

Toughdog Big Bore adjustables. An excellent product that performs well and can be adjusted manually to suit the conditions. Price is good and they come in both 40mm and 45mm sizes.

I rate and reccomend them highly as do many here on the forum.

Hi oldbaz. I was running Iron Man shocks on my Jack. I found them good over corrugations and reasonably well priced.
I'm jealous about all that dirt.
Cheers,

Hi Baz,
I have had nothing but good experiences with Lovels gear but have no experience with theses shocks. On the old red jack I replaced the orinigals with Monroe magums and found them excellent for towing, a little hard when empty. Also fitted same to Sals much heavier Nullarbor and good all round. Avail from Repco at around $230 a pr if you bargain.
If you go the Lovels please let us know what you think of them.
Cheers Pete

Just replaced mine with the same shocks - well according to the supplier they are the same, from the same factory, just without the Lovells brand sticker - $100 each fromZordos. Much more robust than the OEMs obviously. Only one of the OEMs was leaking, and not badly, so they did pretty well.

Had a hell of a time budging the top bolt on the left rear and eventually gave up until I had the brakes done and got them to crack the nut (took an enormous effort to budge apparently). Still took me a couple of hours to fit because a little Isuzu truck builder had cross-threaded that bolt about 15 years ago. Other than that they are simple to replace, although you do need a bit of muscle power for the rears.

Good luck.
