Raptor 4x4 Rear Shock Absorber +4" Lift Suzuki Samurai (Coil Conversion 06121)

A Samurai converted to coils is a different vehicle from the factory leaf-sprung car – particularly at the rear, where axle location and the whole range of suspension movement change. A damper picked by eye can undo the benefit of the conversion entirely: either it cuts the travel short or it fails to control it where control is needed.

This part is intended for one configuration only: the rear axle of a Samurai with a 4" lift built using the Raptor 4x4 conversion kit 06121.

Key benefits

• An unambiguous application – the damper belongs to a specific kit, so there is no trial-and-error sizing.
• Working range for a 4" lift – the rear axle can use the travel the coil conversion provides.
• System consistency – the kit manufacturer notes that the 06121 components are engineered together and takes no responsibility for mixing them with other brands.

Technical data

• Manufacturer: Raptor 4x4 (Saglietti S.r.l.)
• Part number: RAP-06152
• Axle: rear
• Intended for: 4" lift within the coil spring conversion
• Required setup: Raptor 4x4 conversion kit 06121

Who it is for

For cars that have had the full suspension conversion with kit 06121, whether you are servicing it after a hard season or gathering parts during a build. Owners of leaf-sprung Samurais should look at the versions made for leaf suspension, sized for 2" or 5" lifts.

Fitting notes

Dampers are replaced in pairs on an axle, so two units are usually ordered together. Check as well that the car really uses the Raptor 4x4 conversion – other coil kits have their own geometry and their own damper lengths. On a suspension rebuilt to this extent it is worth inspecting the mounts, the axle location links and the driveshaft angles at the same time.

Why choose it

• A system part rather than a generic replacement for a lifted vehicle.
• The compatibility limit is stated openly, with no guesswork.
• Direct counterpart to the front RAP-06151, keeping both axles in the same configuration.

The front damper for the same conversion is RAP-06151.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fit it to a leaf-sprung Samurai?

No. The manufacturer's information states clearly that this damper only suits the Raptor 4x4 lift with the coil spring conversion, kit 06121.

What is the 06121 conversion?

It is the Raptor 4x4 kit that replaces the Suzuki Samurai leaf springs with coil springs; the manufacturer quotes a 10 cm lift for it.

Which axle does it fit?

The rear. The front unit for the same conversion is RAP-06151.

Do both dampers need replacing at once?

Yes, dampers on one axle are replaced as a pair so that both sides work with identical characteristics.
