Damn is that depresing. All that work for less travel than a properly setup stock style suspension. Its to bad that setup wont ever work to its full potential either. What a waste!!!!

Step one is removing the stock spring perches. Anything less is just a joke.

I'll be doing way more than that if I head in that direction...(full hydro, 4 link, etc...)...

If it is just to replace the coil AND the shock bay a coil OVER shock, I don't see the benefit other than the BLING$ :)

I was actually thinking of going with a setup similar to Buckon37s' truck. Modified and extended radius arms, and full custom hoops to mount them

I built the hoops on Buckon37s truck, and I built the original modded radius arms as well. Im not sure what his specific setup includes anymore. A similar design hoop will work on the disco. Its very simple and so far has been bullet proof while jumping a 5000lbs plus truck several feet off a few cars. The original radius arm setup on Bucks truck worked very well to. I highly suggest it.

I have coilovers and 4-links from and rear on my driveway ornament. There have been some pics of them posted on here before I think.
