That's a horribly half-assed body lift. Works somewhat ok on a Jeep CJ, but for a Disco or RRC you really need to do it differently. Seat belt anchors? Floor braces? Diagonal braces? Simple puck lifts are not appropriate for a vehicle intended to be safe.

Since the shaft is alumimum a preofessionnal welder is needed, unless you are lucky enough to have a welder at home that can handle that.
What I do is drop the shaft at a welders a day ahead and have it extended (about $25.00).
On the next day I loosen all body bolts and then use a floor jack to lift the body a few inches on one side only. I insert the spacers, pucks will work, and then lower the body apply the bolts loosly and then do the other side. After both sides are in tighten the bolts and you are done.
I am running a Rovertym front bumper modified for the lift and then made brackets for the rear TJM like bumper. looks good, at least to me.
