I had them on my defender thats why I bought them for my disco. My problem is that they dont properly fit my d2. They rattle at all the shock mounts. They didn't come with the rubber bushings, they have the metal bushings. Safari gard didn't tell me that. I come to realize that they are not meant to fit the disco. I am tired of the rattling. So, what are the options for long travel shocks for series 2 disco? Rancho or Bilstein? Which ones and do they come with rubber bushings that don't make it rattle? I saw that expedition exchange have Long Travel Remote Shock Absorbers but not for disco2 yet. Ya'll have any help with new shocks choices?

Extend the line and your still left with the sensor harness. Extend the harness and you'll take out the front drive shaft ;-) Ron   Ken Tipton (Irish_nv) Member Username: Irish_nv Post Number: 114 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 01:15 am:    I haven't done anything yet just have to drive better I guess.....will get some soon Ken
