easey mate. put it on axle stands take your bump stop off and put a bottle jack on the flat bit of the axle, jack it up, undo the retainer plate and swap em over!


an x-spring is being fitted aswell but the principle is the same.

Eek - I would be rather worried about the bottom of the jack slipping off the axle myself!

Boss, in your photo I presume your brake hoses were disconnected?

Howie, my experiences of fitting a 2" kit are here:

Big one was the time, working on my own and at the time being very new to Discos, it took me a whole weekend and had lost all appeal by the end!
