I am not familiar with spacers from Rovers North, but I do have a set of spacers from
http://www.rovertym.com/ that I have been running for the last for years and they have worked very well and are adjustable for aditional lift.

Spacers are the way to go. Cheap and easy. I had them done on my Jeep Wrangler, and it's the perfect amount of lift. Had them for over a year, and there hasn't been any issues. Go for it.

Spacers are for the rear air suspension not for a lift to compinsate for a tired suspension.
When a Disco's springs start to sag the only cure is new springs and shocks xcept where the SLS suspension is concerned.

The Rovertym spacers state that the Disco II spacers are only available for the front and in 1". Will the Disco I spacers work? Also, the Rovers North spacers are of a completely different style (and consequently compatible with either Disco I or II). Anybody have an opinion on their functionality vs. Rovertym?

OME only makes two levels of shocks, standard and HD. Only use the Hd version for your truck, the standards are for soccer Moms that want it very soft, don't work well at all off the road.
Hope this helps.

I can get you the same coils for about $20 piece less.
Send me your tele number and I'll call you.
