Product Overview

This kit replaces the faulty original self-levelling suspension that relies on a hydraulic function of the shock absorber to carry vehicle weight, which can fail and cause the vehicle to sit low. By supplying matched dampers and springs specifically engineered for this application, Pedders ensures that the vehicle ride height is returned to original specification. This heavy-duty kit is ideal for vehicles regularly carrying heavy loads or towing.

The components are compatible with all wheel sizes despite height measurements being referenced with 16 inch wheels. An alternative softer kit exists for normal transport use. Overall, this kit simplifies the suspension setup and removes dependence on the original self-levelling system, reducing maintenance and cost over time.

Technology & Materials

The Pedders SportsRyder gas struts in this kit feature heavy duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double welded mountings for long-term durability. The kit components are supplied pre-assembled as a system designed and valved to work together, ensuring reliable performance and matched characteristics throughout suspension travel.

Installation & Compatibility

Components come pre-assembled in a matched set including struts, springs, bump stops, boot kits, and mounts, enabling direct bolt-in installation with no vehicle modifications or extra parts needed. This simplifies and shortens installation time. Professional wheel alignment is recommended after fitting to optimise vehicle handling and tyre wear.

This kit is designed as a heavy-duty option for raised, LPG fitted, or load-carrying Subaru Forester SF vehicles.
