Well, got it done. It is one of those "dirty jobs".
After talking to Paul Grant, who is always full of information and knowledge about Rovers, my dilemma which way to place the shocks was solved. He always puts the more dense coils on the bottom, but as long they are both the same probably does no matters so much.
I ended up using "pipe" wrench on holding the body of the shock, while using 19 mm open wrench, the only thing be able to fit between the front axle and the bottom of the shock.
Going from HD OME set up to Medium, I lost 1/2" in the front due to ARB heavy bumper and gain almost a 1" in the rear, no cargo load. So, not much difference to original 2" lift with HD set up. The ride is a world of difference! I am surprised though, that nobody did a write up on this or follow up yet.
Well see how will Terrafirma hold up.
I did send them feed back on lack of documentation or markings and missing those top rear nuts( extra trip to the hardware store) , but do not expect reply.
Next are all bushings, I am not looking forward to that, but I will not bother you guys with it.
