Brand Britpart Cellular Dynamic
Front Shock Absorber is a cellular-dynamic damper for the front axle, valved for a +2in (50mm) raised ride height.

It uses a cellular foam insert in place of a pressurised nitrogen gas charge. The foam occupies less volume than a gas charge, allowing around 50% more oil for greater heat dispersion and resistance to fade under sustained load. Construction includes a sintered 18mm rod, a 41mm piston with a multi-lip PTFE seal, a single-piece eye ring and polyurethane bushes.

Extended length 665mm, compressed length 425mm (±5mm). The standard-height version is DC6000 and the +5in (125mm) version is DC6000LL.

Frequently asked questions

What is this shock absorber and what does it do?
This is a front shock absorber for Land Rover coil-sprung axles, valved for a +2in (50mm) raised ride height. It damps front axle movement to control the springs, and its foam cell construction resists fade under sustained off-road use on the Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic.
Which vehicles does this 50mm lift shock fit?
This front shock fits the Land Rover Defender (1983-2016), Discovery 1 (1989-1998), and Range Rover Classic, each set up for a +2in / 50mm lift. On the Range Rover Classic it's for models without air suspension. Confirm your vehicle runs a 50mm raised suspension setup before fitting.
What's the difference between DC6000L, DC6000, and DC6000LL?
DC6000L is the +2in (50mm) lift front shock. DC6000 is the standard ride-height version, and DC6000LL is the +5in version. Pick the one that matches your vehicle's suspension lift, as fitting the wrong length shock for your ride height will limit travel or overextend the damper.
What are the signs a front shock absorber needs replacing?
A worn front shock typically shows as excessive bounce after bumps, nose dive under braking, uneven tyre wear, or fluid leaking down the body. On a lifted Defender or Discovery running this 50mm setup, replace front shocks as an axle pair to keep damping even side to side.
