I had OME MD's and Bilstein shocks installed on my 98 Disco about two months ago. I want to install OME packers to level the truck out b/c its leaning a lot to the passenger side. I had the install done at a garage, but I figure I can do the spring packers myself. So what I'd like is for someone to walk me through the steps to installing them on both passenger side front and rear.

Patrick,

You're going to have to do the same thing the guy at the garage did, except maybe not remove the spring totally. Follow Kyle's excellent step-by-step write-up in the Tech section under "Suspension." I printed it and went to work changing my springs over in the last couple of weeks. The tough part is removing the front shocks and towers, the rest is easy. The rears can be left retained at the bottom, slip the spring spacer on top, and it's done.

Good luck,

Ron Ward
