Better be....or I've just bought the wrong shocks

South,

Some vendors in the US sell you shocks with converters at the end (don't ask me why) or they don't have longer shocks that will fit your LR so they throw in the converters. It's just one more item that might break.

[roewh]

whoops...meant springs. Shocks are installed correct.

As for the rotoflex, you can replace the whole driveshaft (~350 from either www.4xshaft.com or www.greatbasinrovers.com) or get a driveshaft shop (or yourself if you feel adventerous) to put new U-Joints on it.. I believe when you replace a rotoflex w/ a ujoint you need a convertor flange (sold at your dealership or at any online parts vendor) and a spacer.

or get a used RR driveshaft (under $100) and a flange from AB ($89)...

Ok John.. unheard of down here, you buy fronts or backs !
My 1996 Disco with 93,000 kms on it, is down nearly two inches on the drivers side. And.........my job for the weekend?.....new shocks and springs all round.
Then I'll tell my wife how much they cost.........its easier to get forgiveness, than get permission!
