I have a 97 disco with a Rover Tym 2" lift and rear links. The last two times I went offroad I have broken the LR shock the first one on the eye and the second on the stud. Anyone have this problem or sugestion to fix it. The shock is a Rancho 9234. Is this the wrong shock or do I need to put a bigger bump stop on the right to try and keep the left travel down? HELP Max

yeah, the funniest part was that fact that this guy couldn't simply remove the shock because of the super duper remote adjusting system.

Blue that is how it broke. What is meant by "uploading"? It is only the left rear I assumed that this side has longer travel and it was breaking when it bottoms out. Is this wrong? Is it snapping on the upward travel?
