I am confused. Why did you buy 2" spacers for the rear if you have SLS? If you want to keep SLS, then you must trick the SLABS ECU by manufacturing a bracket for the sensor arm. Check out: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/disco2frontcoils/ Paul Morgan

well becaue i read it was better to raise the airbag and install the bracket to adjust the ecu. when you just trick the sensor it puts more stress on the bag and may cause damage, and void warranty. At least thats how i understood it to be |

You have a good point there Mark and I have seen the rear bags go on other D2's. But if you install those spacers, do you still have to manufacture a bracket for the SLABS? Getting back to your spring question, you need to consider what you are going to put up front in terms of bumper / winch or nothing. The more crap you want to install on your D2 will require you to go with a heavier duty spring. The Front Heavy-Duty Spring (779) is a good choice for adding accessories to the front or if you plan to keep the front stock try the Front Medium-Duty Spring (777).

the spacers i bought came with the bracket to trick the ecu, my buddy wants to sell me his set of ome new 768 springs, but he forgot if they will raise up the front or if they are just HD? |
