I want to firm up the ride on my 95 Disco. Almost all of my driving is on paved roads so I want to get something a little stiffer but I don't wanna pee blood or anything. I was thinking Bilstein shocks unless there are other suggestions? Another option is the ARB/OME spring & shock kit @ Altlantic British. Also, should I get medium or heavy duty springs? Finally, where the best (least expensive) place to get all of this? Thats enough babble for now...thanks for any input!

If you are going to go with OME I would talk to John at http://www.expeditionexchange.com . He seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy. [email protected] They seem to back up their products and run the stuff they sell on their rigs. My $.02

Kyle, I just installed 4 bilstein shocks last weekend, stock springs. I (my wife) drives the rig mostly on road, although we live in the mountains where we get tons of snow. I went with the bilsteins because that seemed to be the best option for those who stay mostly on the pavement. I am VERY happy with the ride, it is not harsh but you can tell the truck has much better manners, less roll.. I am very happy with them, however I can not tell you how they compare to the ome units because I have never tried them. Thats my opinion, Good Luck...JMcD

I can tell you in about a week or so what an all around OME HD spring and shock retrofit does to a 96 SD. I just ordered it from Exbedition Exchange and John Lee was definitly very helpfull. Check back in a week or two and I will tell ya how it rides.
