Thought Air Lift would have them , but looks like not. Does anybody know a source for air lift kits for 2000 disco? Or even heard of them for the disco?

I think the same company that makes the bags that AB sells also make many others, some of which are sold through Camping world at a much lower price. If you could get the actual item number maybe you could get them cheaper than AB. This is if you are talking about the helper air bags that go inside the springs, at least for a D1.

Fill the coil up with "Tennis" balls.
Works good and lasts... seriously.

Bazzle, hard court or grass court tennis balls? I suppose it depends on how much rebound I need?

Seriously, thanks for the feed back....

You definitely gotta get Wilsons. If you go with Penn then you will knock off the fuzz in no time and have some dead balls. The Air Lift Helper springs do exist for a D1 so should work on a D2 also. Why do you want them? If you are looking for lift then they wont do it, if you want leveling I would personally just get some stiffer rear springs and not worry about it. You can get Heavy Duty rear springs that dont lift if you are just looking for an increased rate.
