Did you have these in the front our the rear. Are these for a Disco 1 specifically. Sorry, but I don't know much about shocks. I do know that I need some for the front of my Disco though. | ||

well, I went to EE and looked at their shocks. It seems that it would be difficult to mount these even on the rear. Unless it has been done before, i don't think that I can use these on the front. I have already purchased rear shocks, so I don't think these will help much. | ||

Ok...Here is my problem. According to EE, these springs will cause your rear springs(OME-HD) to unseat. Thats because they are super tall. This would involve buying shock mounts that would mount higher onto the chassis. Unless?....I have 1 inch spacers that I will be putting in with my springs. Do you think that this will allow enough height to keep the springs seated. | ||

kevin, these are about an 10.5" travel shock. with the stock upper mount and a rovertym lower you will unseat your springs don't you want to upgrade those cheapo LR retainers anyway? cheapest route for long travel in the rear is these shocks, a set of used RTE lower mounts and make yourself some spring retainers out of 1/4" flat stock. i've got a used set of RTE shock mounts i'll sell with the shocks as a package for $80, buyer pays shipping. marc | ||

Do you have a D2 or D1(just wondering)?So your saying, even if I get the RTE mounts, I will still have to buy or make some spring retainers? Are you saying this to be safe off-road as far as flexing goes, or is this definitely not going to work with just that set-up? I would figure with a guaranteed three inches(springs and spacers) that this would work, nothing is easy anymore...lol. Kevin | ||

with a guaranteed 3" lift and RTE mounts you will unseat the springs at full droop. this is only a problem at full flex, so if you never plan to flex it, it shouldn't be a problem. but seriously.... retainers are cheap and easy to make or i can see if i can scrape up a used set from one of my buddies. but at a 3" lift you most definately will need longer shocks (been there) marc (D1) | ||

Thanks Marc, that would be great, if you could find retainers for me. Are they really really easy to make? I would take everything off your hands if you could get all of that. If anybody spots some retainers, let me know please. Kevin |
