Shocks
Front Shock Absorber Raptor 4X4 Expedition +4" for Nissan Patrol Y60 / Y61
A front shock from Raptor 4x4's Expedition line, +4 inches, noticeably stiffer than the standard version - built for a heavily loaded, expedition-ready Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61. Weighs 4 kg.
Front Shock Absorber Raptor 4x4 Expedition +4" Nissan Patrol Y60 / Y61
A heavily loaded Patrol on a long trip carries different loads than a light weekend off-road drive - full tanks, camping gear, extra water. A standard lift shock starts working near the edge of its capability under that load. Raptor 4x4's Expedition line (manufacturer: Saglietti S.r.l.) was built for exactly this scenario.
The RAP-111511 is the front shock from this line, noticeably stiffer than the standard version - the manufacturer describes it explicitly as very hard, built for travel and heavily loaded vehicles.
Line Expedition | Position Front | Lift +4" (approx. 10 cm) | Weight 4 kg | Compatibility Nissan Patrol Y60 and Y61 |
Key benefits
- Stiffer damping than the standard version means less suspension dive under a full expedition load - exactly where a regular shock starts to give in.
- A 4 kg weight and a yellow body with a black shaft boot are concrete, confirmed features of this unit.
- One part number covers both main generations - Y60 and Y61.
Technical data
- Line: Expedition (Raptor 4x4, manufacturer Saglietti S.r.l.)
- Mounting position: front
- Lift: +4 inches
- Weight: 4 kg
- Colour: yellow, black shaft dust boot
- Compatibility: Nissan Patrol Y60, Y61
Who it's for: this version makes sense when your Patrol regularly runs fully loaded on longer trips - roof tent, jerry cans, camping gear - not just the occasional empty-vehicle trail run.
Installation / notes
The shock is matched to a +4" lift - it works best paired with front springs giving the same lift. Installation is standard, but best left to a workshop familiar with Patrol geometry.
Why it's worth it
- Damping tuned for a heavily loaded expedition vehicle, not an empty body.
- Clearly stated weight and build, instead of a vague "reinforced" label.
If your Y60 or Y61 carries real expedition weight and a standard lift shock is already giving in under full load, the Expedition version answers exactly that problem.
Frequently asked questions

The manufacturer describes it as noticeably stiffer, built for travel and heavily loaded vehicles - unlike the comfort-oriented "Trail" version aimed at everyday, lighter-load driving.
Does it fit without changing the springs?
The shock is matched to a +4'' lift, so it works best together with front springs giving that same lift.
How much does this shock weigh?
4 kg, per the manufacturer's data.
