Default Disco II Lift Kit Installation Help!!

Hey yall I just bought 4 Rovertym 2" Heavy Duty shocks and 4 OME 2" nitro charger shocks for my 2004 Disco II, however they came with no nuts bolts or anything and no instructions. I bought the shocks and lifts both from Rovertym and they said it was all I would need, but I have NO idea what to do, me and my friends are installing it ourselves. We installed his ION 4" lift on his FJ cruiser and that was pretty easy but we had instruction, so if anyone can post instruction on how to install a lift kit on a Disco II please post them and let me know.

This is very easy to do. You will not need any more bolts or hardware unless you have the rear air suspension which I assume you don't.

For the front, disconnect the swaybars, it make pushing the axle down a lot easier.
On the rear you can use your jack on top of the axle to push it down far enough to get the spring in.
Once you get it apart you will realize how easy it is to put them in.
Shouldn't take you more then a couple of hours, especially with help.

If you are feeling mechanical enough, you can with a little guideance do them with the help of a friend, in about 2 to 3 hours, saving you at least $350 in labor.
Go order a new steering stabilizer since yours is also warn out.
You can rent a spring collapser from most of the auto parts stores.
