ROTW suspension compared with US?

[Killjoy]

Hi all!

Anyone have any information/confirmation that the ROTW Ranger shares the same suspension set up? Eyeing up the Eibach Pro kit but considering the amount it'll cost me to import I want to make sure it's right first time!

Thanks in advance!


@PandaMotorworks - can you guys help me with getting a kit to the UK?

If you are in the UK then you most likely have one of the Global Rangers luke Australia which does have its slight difference's. I would try to contact either ARB or TJM in my opinion.

I’ve seen a few of the technical differences with the ROTW vs US model, I can’t see suspension being different however!

Still worth a check. The ARB suspension is still different for the US

toddiscdn tried rotw strut spacers & had to bore the I.D. to get them to fit so there is some difference in the front shocks & the US versions may not fit the rotw.

Most of the time when someone has tried to install rotw parts on the us Rangers there is a complication or they don't fit at all.

Thanks for the info Frenchy - I’ve sent an email to Eibach directly, so I’ll wait to hear back from them!

So I've been and had a look, looks like the top hat will fit, however theres a distinct difference in the Lower Control Arms, if you look at the base of the Eibach kit where it mounts to the LCA, it has a small bar and two bolts running parallel to the shock, whereas on the UK OEM LCA - it has a generic bolt through the shock hole mount. I wonder if the LCA's are interchangable or whether another route has to be explored.
