Default Another Shock/Springs Question ? (;

Yes. I've read 'some' of the threads pertaining to this topic and 'tried' to find an answer without starting a new thread and 'think' I know what to do to my Disco 'but'.....

I have just purchased a 2000 Disco II with 159,000 miles. It was well taken care of by the previous owner and not used off road much. However, the suspension (which I suspect is original) feels a little flat and is missing that happy bounce.

I've decided to replace the shocks (and springs if needed). I'm on road most of the time but will be taking the occasional trail from time to time. I don't want to spend $2000+ at this time for Camel Trophy equipment but would like to improve my current situation ASAP.

I'm looking for detailed shock (and springs?) recommendations that can be had for low $xxx to mid $xxx range.


Thanks in advance for any and all opinions.......

Just got through reading more threads. This looks like it would work well for my situation?

Yep OME. But I'd get heavy duty.
