Default 2004 Total Suspension Upgrade

As it says in the title, I am looking for a total suspension upgrade.
I have a 2004 Disco HSE with ACE and SLS. I am looking for someone to tell me the exact things I will need to complete the upgrade. I am assuming the rear air will have/need to be upgraded to coils. That's what I would like anyway. I want everything to be Old Man Emu if I can. I am not a mechanic at all, that is why I am asking for details, as well as the best and cheapest place to buy them. Also, I am upgrading the tires as well. I have 18" rims, so I need something that is going to be quiet, but allow me to go offroad when hunting season arrives. Thank you much.

if you want to get ome stuff, get it here: http://lrrforums.com/store/index.php...ategory_id=252 tony has great prices. i recommend www.rovertym.com but thats just my preference. both are good springs. for tires, get a set of 16" rims and 265/75/16 tires. tires for the 18"s are too expensive and you dont have many choices.

That's exactly what I was looking for. One question though. Does this kit replace my SLS air system in the rear? If not, then I wanna replace it as well.

that stuff is only the springs and shocks. i think all you need to convert to coils are new spring seats, bolts for the seats, and spring isolators for the tops of the coils.

Just a question, why do you want to replace the SLS, I believe this to be a hugh mistake, what is it about it you don't like?
Also if you just have to replace the system then order those parst from Tony also, call him at 650-365-4145.

Why do you think it would be a huge mistake?

First it gives a better ride on and off the road, it is adjustable for those hard spots on the trail and you can load the truck however you want and always keep it level.
As for the ACE, you cant remove it, so start looking at what you can do with what you have.
I have a 99 D2 with both, I am set at a 3" lift front and rear, have good articulation and handle the rocks well.
Call me if you want some first hand info.
