Product Overview

This kit eliminates the original self-levelling system by replacing it with matched springs and shocks that together carry the vehicle weight as intended. This overcomes the weaker original springs and the failure-prone self-levelling shocks that cause the vehicle to sit low. It is especially suitable for heavy duty use, such as frequent towing or carrying heavy loads, where the vehicle tends to be underdamped. Installing this kit improves suspension control under these conditions.

The kit fits both variants of the Kia Sorento with or without factory self-levelling suspension and is compatible with various wheel sizes, though original height measurements are based on 16-inch wheels. A separate kit is available for later model vehicles with pin style shock mounts.

Technology & Materials

Pedders gas shocks feature heavy duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double welded mountings. The matched springs and shocks are designed and valved together as a system to ensure reliable, long-term performance.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is a direct bolt-in replacement using existing OEM mounting hardware, requiring no modifications or additional parts. Vehicle height is restored without the need for extra adjustment. It is advised to perform a professional wheel alignment following installation for optimal handling and tyre wear.

This is a heavy duty kit suitable for regularly carrying heavy loads or towing heavy trailers. A softer spring kit is also available for standard use.
