ride-pro shocks

Got 'em on my 4.5 L GU Patrol that weighs 3.3 t fully loaded for a big trip off road.
Been on for 20,000 km.

I like the big bore, good piston rod, etc. Even though the old shocks had only done 80,000, it was like driving a newbie re taught feel and better "sure-footed ness" when the Ride Pros went on. Value is reasonable also.

Springs are currently TJM heavy duty standard height, but going to get the RidePro Springs next week for a bit more load carrying capacity & height increase.

I've got ride-pro shocks on my 92 GQ. I've had them on for about 10,000 Kms I suppose and so far am very happy with them.
At the time of purchase I had a good chat with Josh Brown from Ateco the importer, he is responsible for evaluating and valving the shocks for Australian conditions. He told me they are built by a "Gabriel" owned company in Canada but that this shock company specialises in truck shock absorbers rather than cars and the build for the shocks shows this, as they are a very robust shock and a lot larger than a lot of others on the market.
They are so large I had trouble fitting the right rear as I have an auxilliary tank to run petrol on the right hand side and it was a tight fit to get it in. In the end I had to remove the spring and release the swaybar to get some extra room but once in there is no fouling anywhere so that's OK.

have had Ridepro and Dobinson springs on my GU 3.0 for two months now. They are very good and well priced. Try Trail Track and Outback in FTG.

I have had them for about 6 months on the back of the disco. So far they have been ok except for a trip to the big desert where they seemed to fade a bit quickly on the corrugations. Ounce cooled down they performed well again though.

I hope they are better than other gabriel products I have had in the past (ironman) as they self destructed very quickly.
