It is 97 Disco I 68k mi. I believe it is normal for the disco to sink little bit on the passenger side to compensate the weight of driverside. My wife's Disco is sagging little too much and I want to fix this. I'll try to be discret when smoking those mushrooms.   Sergei Rodionov (Uzbad) Senior Member Username: Uzbad Post Number: 336 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Monday, March 08, 2004 - 02:25 pm:    Adrian, color has nothing to do with it. Its designed to go weird like that You can buy matched OME spring set from ExpeditionExchange.com. You can buy US made springs from Rovertrym or from NWP, or you can get bluish springs from DAP-inc (dont know if those matched though). Word of advice - you need to swap them all, as even one "short" spring will make truck to lean.   Alan Yim (Alan) Senior Member Username: Alan Post Number: 1114 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, March 08, 2004 - 02:28 pm:    If you're going to spend the effort to replace the passenger side springs, why don't you just do all 4 corners with matched springs from EE? That way your truck will sit level and you will have a similar life expectancy rate for all the springs.   Brian (Bthaxton) Member Username: Bthaxton Post Number: 103 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 09, 2004 - 03:25 am:    I bought matched springs from DAP-Inc for all four corners on my '97 D1. It raised the vehicle back to factory height (I'm not really into lifting), which is higher than I remember, but it looks good. However, the lean is still there, although it is only about a 1/2" difference. By the way, change your sway bar bushings (not expensive) while you are at it. That way you have removed all variables.   Kristopher March (Apexdisco) Senior Member Username: Apexdisco Post Number: 357 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 14, 2004 - 11:16 pm:    Brian, The bushings for the sway bar - is it advisable to get them at the Dealer? How hard is it to replace them?   Steve Rupp (Steve_rupp) Member Username: Steve_rupp Post Number: 96 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 14, 2004 - 11:21 pm:    I agree with Alan. However as long as you are replacing springs, you might as well get a 2" lift so you will be ready for tires.
