Product Overview

This kit is designed to replace the original self-levelling rear suspension which uses hydraulic damping to carry part of the vehicle weight. Failure of the original self-levelling function causes the vehicle to sit low, relying solely on weak springs to support weight. The Pedders EziFit kit supplies matched dampers and springs engineered specifically to restore correct ride height reliably.

Ideal for daily drivers, it maintains the correct stance regardless of wheel size and removes the costly issues caused by self-levelling damper failure. For heavier loads or towing, a version with stiffer springs is available separately. This ensures consistent performance and durability for various driving conditions.

Technology & Materials

Pedders SportsRyder gas struts feature heavy duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double welded mountings for long-term durability. The suspension components are valved and designed as a matched system to work together effectively.

Installation & Compatibility

The kit is supplied as a matched set of pre-assembled suspension components including struts, springs, bump stops, boot kits and mounts, enabling reduced installation time and direct bolt-in fitment with no vehicle modifications or extra parts required. Professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation to optimise handling and tyre wear.

This kit suits users seeking to restore original ride height and improve suspension reliability. For heavy load or towing applications, a stiffer spring version is available.
