Sans Airbag? & spring kit
I have looked all over my 03 Disco SE and I cannot find anything that looks like an airbag suspension. Could it be that it never came with one? I keep hearing about the infamous airbag issues so I wonder if it maybe was taken out by a previous owner. I have coil springs on all 4 corners and standard shocks.
If I am swapping out springs and shocks to a 1-2" kit how difficult is the swap? I have access to an acetylene torch and moderate set of tools.
I am prepared to have hell with the bottom of the shocks because the brakes were so rusted I can only imagine snapping off one of the shock mounting bolts.
Those that have attempted it; is it overall too bad to do?
Thanks

SLS was an option and not all discos came with it.
Doing the shocks and springs are easy, you don't need a torch, just get a good floor jack and jack stands and use the bottle jack to jack down the axle to get the new springs in. Lucky 8 has a how to video on youtube. None of the bolts are too hard to get off.

Not sure DM. I wanted to go with brands I recognize. I am not familar with old man emu but they seem to be everywhere on the forums.
What one you suggest that would be comfortable? Maybe a mixed kit of bilstine and other springs?
