Raptor 4x4 Front Shock Absorber +4" Lift Suzuki Samurai (Coil Conversion 06121)
Raptor 4x4 front damper for a 4" lift on a Suzuki Samurai converted to coil springs. Important: it is designed exclusively for the Raptor 4x4 coil conversion kit 06121 and is not intended for a leaf-sprung setup.
Raptor 4x4 Front Shock Absorber +4" Lift Suzuki Samurai (Coil Conversion 06121)
Converting a Samurai from leaf springs to coils changes almost everything about the suspension: the mounting points, the axle travel, the way the axle is located. A damper in that setup is no longer a generic "Samurai part" – it has to be calculated for that specific kit, otherwise it either limits travel or works outside its range.
This is that part. A front damper matched to a 4" lift in the coil-sprung configuration, intended by the manufacturer for use with the Raptor 4x4 conversion kit 06121 and nothing else.

Key benefits
- Made for one specific kit – no guessing lengths or mount types; the part is designed around the geometry of conversion 06121.
- Matched to a 4" lift – the working range corresponds to the height that kit delivers, so the suspension actually uses its travel.
- Original Raptor 4x4 catalogue part – the maker of the conversion kit stresses that its components are engineered as a single system and accepts no responsibility for mixing them with other brands.

Who it is for
Only for Samurai owners whose car has been converted to coils using the Raptor 4x4 06121 kit – either as a replacement after years of use or as a part collected during a build. If your Samurai is still on leaf springs this is the wrong damper; the manufacturer lists separate parts for 2" and 5" leaf-sprung lifts.
Fitting notes
Before ordering, make sure the vehicle really runs the Raptor 4x4 conversion and not another coil kit – the manufacturer explicitly states that the 06121 components are designed as one coherent system and does not guarantee compatibility with other brands. If you are unsure which setup the car has, it is worth verifying before purchase.
Why choose it
- A part calculated for one specific kit rather than a generic "lifted 4x4" damper.
- A clearly stated compatibility limit, so you know what it fits before you buy.
- Keeps the system consistent, exactly as the conversion manufacturer recommends.
The matching rear unit for the same conversion is RAP-06152.
