hi I have replaced all bushes and put it on new Dunlop air bags new Monroe shocks but I'm finding the ride not as soft as with all the old gear I've had the ride height recalibrated. can anyone help point me to hopefully to solve this problem?

Mine came with Monroes on and the ride is not that great, polybushed as well which probably doesn't help either.

Deffo on the to-do list.

Should have fitted OEM BOGE shocks.

Not tried Monroe but I switched my Terrafirmas to Boge and it is definitely more pleasant.

First of all is the ride height correct? To high with make the ride harsher. The car is bouncing on 60PSI of air the difference old to new bags is almost imperceptible. It's the shockers that make the ride seem harsher, should be 25% on compression and 75% on rebound. Boge will give you that others may vary.

Yes, I put new Dunlop bags from Island all round when I got the car about 3 years ago.

thanks for all the help I've looked at the bushes I had put in and they are nacked already less than a year old so got new ones from land rover going to have them pressed in asap then I will look at getting boge shocks. so boge shocks and Dunlop air bags are a good combo?

IMO Boge shocks gave a better ride than Britpart or Terrafirma. I've not tried Monroe.

I've only ever had OEM Dunlop bags but Datatek is a big fan of the Arnott bags. There is some marketing material put about by them saying the gen III is supposed to be superior on and off road but I've never had the chance to try them side by side. https://www.arnotteurope.com/e-mmyproducts.aspx

Maybe if enough types are at the Landyzone meet in May we can all try and see what each combination is ike!

Good enough.
I went with Arnott GenII's because of the lifetime warranty.
