Manufactured in Italy. Tailor made for Jeep Renegade. +2” lift achieved only with longer shocks. Stock springs used on longer shocks. Best lift solution: keeps comfort and increase ground clearance and off road capability
that would be a strut assembly not shocks. shocks don't lift a vehicle, springs do this is basically a strut with more preload.
Not true: on a coilover system longer shocks lift the car. You can see it from the pics: my Trailhawk has been lifted 2” with this new shocks. And I used stock springs on the new shocks
exactly, a coilover is very similar to a strut, it changes the placement of the spring perch to gain height. height cant be changed by a shock.....ask any knowledgeable mechanic. hence the reason I said this is not a shock...its a strut (or similarly a coilover set up) btw, what you have pictured is a strut, not a coilover. the renegade uses struts hense no upper control arm
i love your setup, don't get me wrong, just merely trying to get proper info out there to help others. who manufacturers the setup you used? what was the cost of the kit?
The spring perch has been relocated to match stock spring length, achieving at the same time a lift, but the shocks are also longer to achieve additional extension. As I wrote the shocks are manufactured in Italy, by a FCA supplier of OEM parts. The cost, here in Italy is around 750 Euros. Major advantages of this kit, in my opinion, are: - stock springs (same comfort of the stock car and preserving of shock extension, because longer or harder springs reduce shock extension to lift the car); - no other spacer needed to lift the car ( affecting less than other solutions suspension geometry) - easy camber recovery ( the kit has an eccentric bolt for each shock to get this result) - the shocks are engineered with a mix of gas and oil charge to get best offroad performances - avoid the noise of stock shocks when reaching max extension - shocks are built with stronger metal than stock ones, to have superior resistance to offroad stress - spring perch relocation allows over 30” tyres Just a pic of how fine they have been engineered: Other 2 pics of comparison between stock and upgraded shocks Finally a comparison to understand spring perch relocation Stock location Upgraded location
I do really like the whole idea of longer struts, but use my stock Trailhawk springs. be nice if that strut rebound & dampened similar to bilstein 5100 shocks
Looks real good...could you post the manufacturer and any other details? Still a lil' steep for me at $800+ US, (750 euros=$860), but interesting idea, must be a much easier install...maybe when its time for new struts/shocks...
If you want I can send you the mobile number of the reseller and you can whatsapp him to have more info
This Bilstein 5100 you speak of, is that a replacement for the stock struts? I just have a Sport, would there be much difference from what I currently have?
Can someone please post a link or some more info of how to obtain these, these seem like an ideal bolt in solution.
bump... any additional info on these struts? I like the design. I'm leaning towards the bilsteins, but would love to get 2" and more tire clearance.
Shame this seems to have fallen off of the face of the forum.... I'd be interested in this. Otherwise it'll probably be the basic Avid lift and Eibach lift springs.
I am attempting to contact the reseller, Ghybli, in Italy today. It's late there now, so don't expect an answer until possibly tomorrow. I am inquiring about availability and shipping to us over here in the states.
Ok he replied to me. He has never shipped to the US before, but he is definitely going to look into it after the holidays. I will keep on top of it. I would love to try this out on my Jeep.
The Bilstein, as far as I know, do not have higher perches. They are just longer shaft for lifted Jeeps.
Thought that the perches were a little higher and it give it a little more lift ? Although I'm not sure how ?
Ah just read a thread. The perches are higher on the Bilstein b8 5100. The B8 struts have been bent by one driver on his off-road runs more than once. Anthomico reports no problem with his strut2" lift so far.
