LOVELLS
SPRINGS & SUSPENSION – AN AUSSIE ICON in the
suspension industry!
Lovells Springs
founder George Lovell, began his own company
with his three sons in Sydney way back in 1930.
George and his sons manufactured their own
spring making equipment including furnaces and
forming equipment and as a result of hard work,
Australian ingenuity and determination the
business flourished. Lovells Springs &
Suspension has long since cemented their
reputation as a world leader, manufacturer and
supplier of premium quality springs, shocks and
suspension components to suit a broad range of
applications for automotive, 4x4, agriculture,
mining and Aussie railway industries.
Lovells Springs & Suspension is now in its 79th
year of business as a manufacturer and supplier
of premium quality springs, shocks and
suspension components. The company, has built an
enviable reputation worldwide as a specialist
Australian manufacturer to bring you a range of
suspension products that offer you “The
Ride of your Life”
LOVELLS GAS LEGEND ‘Series II’ SHOCK
ABSORBERS
The Lovells
Series II Gas Legend Twin-Tube Gas Charged shock
absorbers have been introduced to replace the
original Series I shocks and introduce an even
higher quality and level of performance than
most other shocks offered within $200.00-$250.00
per set of 4, of this product’s price position.
The new Series
II Gas Shocks now have a 36mm bore and huge 60mm
expanded body design which provides up to twice
the oil capacity of Original Equipment shock
absorbers to maximise fade resistance, run
cooler and allow faster reaction time to road
changes. A Teflon banded steel piston greatly
reduces heat build-up within the shock and a
Nylon mechanical top-out stop protects the top
seal for extra durability. The Piston retainer
nut is mechanically peened to stop any possible
failure at high temperatures. Aussie engineered,
Multi stage valving systems allow a progressive
dampening effect from slow to fast piston
velocity thus automatically adjusting to all
road and track conditions. Piston Rods/Shafts
are manufactured from tough 18mm hardened,
chromed steel and are precisely engineered to
withstand the harshest of environments, while
reducing friction and wear. Piston rod seals are
high quality, high temperature multi-lip design
to again reduce friction and provide longer
life. Robust 2mm thick external tube walls and
2mm thick internal walls offer extra durability
in the harshest, rocky conditions. Gas charged
with low pressure nitrogen gas to maximise fade
resistance under extreme conditions without ride
harshness while providing a more responsive
control. All eyes and pin mounts are fully
welded for extra strength and longer life.
The majority of
the range are Long Travel Designs to allow
fitment with all Lovells spring part numbers and
ensures maximum wheel contact at all times.
We offer a full
3 year / 70,000km warranty on all the
Lovells Gas Legend Series II Shock Absorbers we
sell.
In over 20
years in the 4WD & Suspension industry, selling
just about every brand in that time, we have
found the performance, ride and durability of
these shocks to be the best value for money
shock absorber that we have ever sold in the mid
priced shock absorber range and are confident
that they will suit 85-90% of our customers
The Lovells Gas
Legend range includes the most common type
Telescopic shocks, the new Coil-Over shocks of
later model IFS coil spring designs and a range
of complete replacement Strut type shock
absorbers for many popular 4WDs and AWD
vehicles.

Some more Important Information on the LOVELLS
GAS LEGEND Series II Shocks you may be
interested in knowing:
In the more than 20 years that we have been
selling 4WD Suspension products - we have sold
many different brands of shock absorbers for all
types of vehicles while working for different
organisations.
Brands like: Old Man Emu, Ultimate,
Rancho, Series 2000, XGS, Cofap, Pedders, EFS
Enforcer, EFS Elite, Sachs, Boge, Monroe,
Dobinson, Desert Fox, Raw 4X4, KYB, Tokico,
Bilstein and Koni along with a number of others
over that time and in our opinion, we can
honestly say that the ‘LOVELLS GAS LEGEND SERIES
II SHOCKS’ offer the best value for money of any
shock absorbers within the mid-ranged price
bracket, to suit 85-90% of all on and off-road
driving conditions and requirements.
In
our opinion, the only better shocks you could
buy would be the 46mm bore Bilstein mono-tube
gas shocks, 84 or larger series Koni adjustable
shocks or Tough Dog’s 40 & 45mm bore adjustable
shocks that WILL COST AROUND TWICE THE PRICE
(but will still wear out their internal
componentry, anyway).
The other thing to consider is the difference
in Warranty Periods offered by most other brands
– most still only offer a 2 Year/40,000k
warranty period. Some only offer 1 Year/20,000k,
some even offer an inflated 3 Year/100,000k
warranty period as a marketing ploy – a very big
ask, indeed, if they expect the performance and
control of their shocks to be anything like when
fitted to your vehicle, when new.
