What we do to a Land Cruiser 76
A 76 carries its weight higher and further back than a 79, which is what makes body roll and rear end float the usual complaints. Correct valving settles both without turning the ride harsh on tar. We set these up for the long haul, where comfort over hundreds of kilometres matters as much as capability on the last twenty.
- ▸Front and rear matched King Shocks set
- ▸Valving tuned for wagon weight distribution
- ▸Optional remote reservoirs for sustained corrugation
- ▸Ride height corrected for touring load
We import and distribute them ourselves
Direct importer pricing
We import and distribute King Shocks in South Africa ourselves, so you buy at importer pricing instead of paying a reseller margin on top.
Stock and support locally
Valving changes, rebuilds and warranty support happen here, not on a three month round trip to the United States.
Set up, not just bolted on
A shock is only as good as its setup. We spec valving and ride height around your vehicle, your load and your terrain, then fit it in our own workshop.
From enquiry to road tested
Tell us how you drive
Touring, overlanding, farm work, racing or daily driving. Load, tyre size, and what the vehicle already carries.
We spec the set
Coilover or remote reservoir, spring rate and valving chosen for that answer, not off a shelf.
Fitment and setup
Fitted at one of our four branches, ride height set, corner balanced and road tested before you take it.
Rebuild and revalve
When the terrain or the load changes, the same set gets re-tuned rather than replaced.
Four branches
Silverlakes, Brits, Potchefstroom and Bloemfontein. Fitted and set up by our own people.
