• Individually shock dyno tested with existing OEM hardware for quality and performance assurance.
• Pedders gas shocks use heavy-duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double-welded mountings for durability.
• The kit is designed and valved to work as a complete suspension system.
• Provides an easy and low-cost conversion from coil overs.
• Includes a 2 Year / 40,000km warranty.
• Restores the original ride height of the vehicle.

Product Overview

The Pedders rear suspension conversion kit is specifically engineered to replace the factory self-levelling system, which uses a weaker spring combined with hydraulic shock absorbers bearing part of the vehicle weight. By supplying matched springs and shocks, this kit ensures proper support and restores the correct ride height. It also improves damping control, particularly under load or when towing, addressing the common issue of underdamping on these vehicles.

This kit is suitable for Sorento models both with and without original self-levelling suspension. It is designed to fit all wheel sizes and provides a cost-effective method to convert from coil over setups without modifying the vehicle.

Technology & Materials

The Pedders gas shocks feature a heavy-duty twin-tube gas construction, combined with reinforced double-welded mountings to ensure long-term durability and consistent performance. The springs and shocks are matched and valved as a system to optimise ride comfort and handling.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is supplied as a matched set of springs and shocks that bolt directly into the existing vehicle mounting points using original equipment hardware. No modifications or additional parts are required for installation, making the process straightforward.

This kit suits standard daily driving and towing conditions, with a stiffer spring option available (part number 803314) for frequent heavy loads or heavy towing.
