Anyone changed over to coils and took SLS off? How can I get part #s for spring seats and use RTE springs? My compressor box is lookin pretty bad and after shearing off my sensor (75.00) I now know how easy I could be in a world of shit on the trail, one rock can easy put you on your bumpstops. I think I should switch to coils for piece of mind.
I drilled a slot into the broken shaft of the sensor so I can turn it with a screw driver, so I can get the sensor to pump up till new part arrives. I'll throw it in my trail box for future mishaps on the trail.

when i went with the rt spacers, i gave away my stock springs seats.
ask around and see if anyone that went with the rt spacers have the seats.
good luck. |

So I can use RTE spacers instead of seats? Maybe thats the ticket. I have RTE spacers for my SLS giving me my 3 inch lift which wont work as seats for springs, I think.

sorry for the confusion.
i have a disco1. apparently the spring seats are interchangeable between disco1 and disco2.
so i gave away my spring seats to a disco2 w/ SLS user, that person took out the air bag and went with coils + my spring seats.
the airbag spacer that you have is only good for the airbag. you have to get spring seats.
hope that clears. |

John at RTE has everything necessary for coil conversion. Now do I really want to trash SLS? Man I never want to be "LET DOWN" on the Trail again, coils will cure that but what about ride,lean,wheelablity, also I never cut loose sway bar in rear (DII) and would like to, so with airbags it would seem less flex to be had than springs (just quessing)
