Our Outlaw kit comprises of the same 2" lifted and uprated suspension springs as found in the Bandit kit. These are different strengths front to back as well as catering for the increased weight of the driver and fuel tank(when required) as often vehicles have only the driver in. Many kits do not cater for the driver which possibly why some kits sag on the drivers side. Our kits will not do this, however if they do then have complete piece of mind in the fact that our springs carry a lifetime guarantee.
Also included are +5" nitrogen charged shock absorbers. These are longer to allow even greater suspension travel while the Nitrogen gas gives outstanding control and damping both on and off road.
The extra travel necessitates the use on spring relocation cones at both front and rear, so at the front you get stainless steel cones. While at the rear we supply a re-location invertion kit, where the springs stay attached to the chassis and the cones are mounted on the axle.
The rear is finished off with a pair of 2" droop trailing arms for more articulation by relieving the stress on the bush giving a greater angle of droop before the bush reaches full compression.
With this amount of travel your standard brake lines become massively overstretched, so extended brake lines are included.
the kit includes:
• 4 x 2" lifted suspension springs
• 4 x +5" Nitrogen shock absorbers
• 4 x Polyurethane shock boots
• Stainless steel front re-location cones with stainless retainer plates
• Rear spring inversion cones
• Stainless steel extended brake lines
• 2" drop trailing arms

Unseated springs, whether intentional or accidental can be dangerous and inconvenient if not properly managed.

D44 relocation cones will safely guide an unseated spring back into the spring seat wihtout fuss.

A simple bolt-in fitment, the D44 cone can save hours of problems in the field, even on vehicles running standard suspension packages.

Supplied in pairs

When you're pushing your Landy to the limit off road you're going to need them!

Remember:
wheels on ground = stability and traction.
Now if dislocation cones are such a BAD thing as Hank claims they are, in turn giving worse stability than stock when off roading and no extra grip. In fact it appears Hank is claiming a vehicle with dislocation cones would actually be less capable off road.
Then WHY do so many places sell them?

Go to any reputably Land Rover specialist in the UK and they will all say dislocation cones work and are a good idea for serious off roading.

More importantly they claim this in their advertising.

NOW the UK is different to the USA, companies over here simply can not and would not make false claims. It’s just not done. There is far more red tape and if such items where dangerous or false they would not be permitted to market them as they do.

It is for this reason there is no such thing as Ford Racing or GM Performance over here. You CAN NOT go and buy supercharger kits here like you can in the Sates for Mustangs and such. And the reason being warranties and false claims.

In the US Ford Racing sell a Eaton blower for the sn95 Mustang, but they do NOT warranty the engine. This would be illegal here in the UK and if Ford wanted to sell a similar kit they would also have to warranty the engine/car.
The same goes for dislocation cones. If they where unsafe as Hank claims they would NOT be sold in the UK in the manner in which they are.
