• Individually shock dyno tested as a complete suspension system using existing OE hardware
• Restores the original height of the vehicle
• Pedders gas shocks with heavy duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double welded mountings
• System designed and valved to work together
• Easy and low-cost conversion from coil overs
• Backed by 2 Year / 40,000km warranty

Product Overview

This kit replaces the original self-levelling system, which uses a weaker spring and shock absorbers with hydraulic self-levelling to carry vehicle weight. Failure of the self-levelling function causes the vehicle to sit low, relying solely on the spring. The Pedders kit supplies matched dampers and springs to restore correct height and eliminate issues with the self-levelling components.

The kit also improves damping and vehicle control, especially when towing or carrying heavy loads. While a heavy-duty spring version of this kit is available separately for frequent towing, this standard kit suits typical daily driving and load conditions. It fits both self-levelling and non-self-levelling versions of the Santa Fe DM and is compatible with any wheel size despite height measurements being based on 16 inch wheels.

Technology & Materials

Pedders gas shocks use heavy duty twin-tube gas construction technology combined with reinforced double welded mountings, providing durability and long-term reliability. The complete kit is designed as a matched system valved to work together with the supplied springs and existing OE hardware.

Installation & Compatibility

This kit is a direct bolt-in replacement requiring no vehicle modifications or extra parts. It utilises existing OEM hardware and can convert coil-over setups with minimal effort. A professional wheel alignment after installation is recommended to optimise handling and tyre wear.

Suitable for standard load and towing conditions; a stiffer spring version is available for heavy-duty towing applications.
