Has anyone else put these on their rig?
I got the HD+2" springs and the +2" big bore expedition shocks. I cannot find anyone else who has installed them.

I've been looking at those too. When you guys say they ride nice, how much rougher are they than stock on a scale of 1 to 10? Flex?

I am curious as well..

I do plan on taking some pics after I get them installed. Have some good flex options close.

Awesome photos Peter! I have been looking for a good picture of them installed. What springs are those?
Looks like you added the terrafirma spacers as well? Have any pics of your rig with the wheels on?
 
Sorry it's a bit late to warn you, but those shocks are junk - IMHO. They rode great for a year and ultimately failed. Granted they were on a heavy 110 and were thrashed, so I am sure that contributed to their failure :) Two of the shocks were essentially empty and were not providing any dampening. Either way, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I hope you have better success!

Ha! I don't even remember the last time I rode in a stock Land Rover. My rover has OME rear springs and SafariGard front progressive springs that give a total of 3inches of lift. The shocks do their job for the roads in New Orleans.

How heavy was your 110?

Just trying to get a benchmark for comparison. You have a pretty stiff spring setup already. What shocks were you running before the Terrafirmas?
