4 Stage Adjustable Shock Absorber - rear position, +3" (75mm) extended travel. Operates in the rear suspension damping circuit, mounting between the axle casing and the chassis turret in place of the original rear damper.

Damping is adjustable through four stages - Comfort, Standard, Firm and Sport - using a rotary knob on the shock body, so the damping rate can be matched to the fitted spring rate, gross vehicle weight and intended use without removing the unit.

Twin-tube construction running low-pressure nitrogen over oil, with an 18mm induction-hardened, hard-chromed shaft, a 35mm sintered and Teflon-coated piston and a 57mm body. The nitrogen charge holds the oil under pressure to prevent cavitation and the damping fade that follows it. Dual oil and dust shaft seals and fully welded pins and eyes.

Open length 665mm, closed length 410mm. The additional travel is intended for use with raised-height coil springs; on standard-length springs the extra stroke is not used. Bushes and mountings follow the original pattern. Replacement bushes for both the upper and lower rear mountings are ROA100050.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TF179 shock absorber used for?
The TF179 is a Terrafirma 4-stage adjustable rear shock absorber for the Discovery 2 (1998-2004). It damps the rear suspension and is built for a +3 inch lift, so it suits heavily raised Discovery 2 setups.
Which vehicle does this rear shock fit?
This rear shock fits the Discovery 2 (1998-2004), all engines. It's designed for a +3 inch suspension lift, so pair it with matching lift springs rather than fitting it to standard-height suspension.
How many TF179 shocks are needed?
You'll typically need two for the rear axle, one per side. Shocks are usually replaced as a pair so the Discovery 2 rear end damps evenly.
What does the 4-stage adjustment do?
The 4-stage adjustment lets you set damping firmness across four settings. That helps tune the lifted Discovery 2 between comfort on the road and firmer control when carrying loads off-road.
