Land Rover Repair: Converting rear air suspension to coil over system., discoweb org, airsprings


Question
How hard is it to convert the air bags to coil shocks on the back of a Land Rover Disco II 2000 model? The rear air bags are gone and the thing sits almost on the back tires. the ride is very bumpy to the point of bouncing me around the cab at even the slightest bump. The first time it happened, it was a fuse, but this time the fuse is fine but it will not lift at all. I have done some research and coils are the way I want to go to eliminate future problems. If there are any sites I can view that have a full account of the procedures for do this job, I would appreciate if you could link me to them as well. Thanks a lot Dennis.

Answer
It's a fairly easy chop and swap job, remove the airsprings, put in the coils.  Deciding which coils (spring rate, lenght) to go with is sometimes harder than the job itself.
