Product Overview

This kit overcomes issues with the original self-levelling system, which relies on a weaker spring and hydraulic shock that both supports the vehicle weight and provides damping. When the self-levelling function fails, the vehicle sits low due to spring weakness. The Pedders EziFit kit supplies matched dampers and springs that correctly support vehicle weight and restore proper ride height. It suits daily driving conditions and maintains suspension control.

For users regularly carrying heavy loads or towing, a version with stiffer springs (Pedders part number 803042) is available. The kit fits vehicles with various wheel sizes, though height measurements are based on 16 inch wheels.

Technology & Materials

The Pedders SportsRyder gas struts feature heavy duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double welded mountings for long-term durability. The complete kit is designed and valved as a system to ensure matched suspension performance.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is supplied as a matched set of pre-assembled suspension components for direct bolt-in replacement of the original rear self-levelling suspension. No vehicle modifications are required, and no extra parts are needed. For best results, a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

This kit is comfort and durability focused, suitable for standard use without heavy towing unless the stiffer springs version is selected.
