Hi,

Can someone tell me what size Coil Spring Compressor I need for the air to spring conversion on my 2001 Disco 2?

Thanks....

Don't think you will need one. Axle stands under the chassis, Jack's under the axle, undo shocks, lower axle, swap springs. That is how I do it on the Defender, I presume D2 is similar.

Thanks, I have seen that method. But to be honest, for around £15 squid, I'd rather have a couple of compressors on hand. Having looked at them, the 'Heavy Duty' ones seem like they might do the job.

Firstly remove the strut from the vehicle, turn the hooks on the compressors along the thread of the bolt to the correct distance, then attach the 2 compressors equally spaced on opposite sides of the spring you need to compress.

You could give them a little squeeze with something like the above if needed, you won't need to compress them much if at all.

Yep, they're the ones!
