What are people using for the rear shocks on a early Traveller? I know the are longer than saloons. I found the spax ones but wonder if any others.
Thanks Mike

Re: traveller rear shocks
Here's how I did on mine: Gaz shocks all round.
Normal saloon length at the rear, shorter version up front.
That way if wanted you can lower the suspension.
The reason for choosing Gaz shocks was really quite simple: found a unused set of rear ones for half the price.
Have only used Spax on Mini's in the past and been more than happy with them!

Re: traveller rear shocks
They are the same as used on Van, Pick-ups, Mini Mokes and Mokes.
As Spax were the only ones available that I could find, I had a small batch made a few years back in a Gas type.
You can use a saloon shock but if you do that, it might be a wise idea to swap out the trumpet to a saloon type too.
