Product Overview

This kit replaces the original self-levelling suspension which relies on a weaker spring and a hydraulic self-levelling shock to support vehicle weight. By supplying a matched set of heavier-duty springs and dampers, the Pedders kit returns the vehicle to its correct height and removes the need for self-levelling shocks. This is suitable for vehicles regularly carrying heavy loads or towing trailers. The kit is compatible with all wheel sizes despite ride height measurements being based on 16 inch wheels.

Technology & Materials

The Pedders SportsRyder gas struts use heavy duty twin-tube gas technology combined with double welded reinforced mountings for long-term durability. The matched springs and dampers are valved as a complete system to ensure balanced ride and handling. All components are pre-assembled to ensure quality and simplify installation.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit components are pre-assembled and designed for direct bolt-in replacement of the original rear suspension without vehicle modifications. No additional parts or cutting is required. It is recommended to perform a professional wheel alignment after installation to optimise vehicle handling and tyre wear.

This heavy duty kit is suitable for regular heavy load or towing use. For normal transport use, a softer spring version (part number 803043) is available.
