Newbie Question on Shocks/Springs
Greetings,<br />
So I bought a 03 Disco after always driving FJ80s. Must say, I'm a fan. 65k miles. I recently replaced the Rotors and Brake Pads, fixed a leak in the Transfer Case, changed the plugs and wires (not fun), seafoam induction (fun), and did many other random tune-up and fluid stuff. Must say I have learned a lot on this forum. So many thanks.<br />
<br />
My question is though. I had a leaky airbag in the rear and decide to convert to springs. I fitted a Heavy duty set from Brit Part because I will be adding an ARB bumper and a roof tent in the near future. They are the super gaz hd with a 1.5 in lift. However, and this may just be lack of experience but, I'm hearing a good amount of spring noise every time I go over a bump. If I rock the truck back and forth it seems fine. Did a small bit of offroad and it handled alright. Everything looks right underneath. But just that "boing" noise over bumps is a bit odd to me. Any thoughts? Thanks

I used the Super Gaz HD Kit. Came with front and rear Springs and Shocks. I did install the rubber spring isolator in the rear. I also made sure that both pigtails on the springs pointed to the driver side.
Could it just be that there isn't enough weight on the vehicle yet? Seems to ride smooth, just has a weird spring noise when I go over bumps slow. Thanks
