I have the same spring on my p38 and under articulation they pop and sporing making all kinds of shitty sounds come to think of it now they even do it now over speed bumps and potholes. Seeing as I dont wheel my p38 that hard (thats for the D1)its no big deal but im pretty sure after a year of driving on them if i were given the choice i would look into an option from rte or ome when replacing the shocks. I think these are the big blues for the p38 except they are not big nor blue and sag faster. Though they do when well seasoned with about 6000 miles give one the feeling of operating a magic carpet and by that I mean feeling of absolutely no connection between you and the road, and yes i have replaced my sway bar connects when they all broke. Im only going on this rant because if you are dumping money in bumpers and custom rte skids and all that stuff I wish I could someday afford, get some real suspention, hell have rte make you some custom then they can sell me a set for much less :rofl:
I would have the RTE Spings if I were rich, but the truth is I bought the StrutMaster's springs and conversion because it was what I could afford at the time, and I have been happy with them, they dont make any of the noise that you mentioned...... Maybe I have them bolted down tighter than you did, I dont know.... Since I have springs and a lift already I would rather spend money on protecting my car, once I have it all set then I'll go for better RTE springs

What shocks are you getting? you will also have to address the sway bar end links, either with disconnects or just longer end links. I just moved the brake/ABS line brackets/mounts or made spacers and got lots more length and wheel travel but i do not have swaybar disconects, I just used longer end links.
I'll be honest, I dont know much about what you just said, I know about disconnects, and RoverTym has talked to me about building a custom bar in the back so that I can really get teh back end to drop out, but my first concern is for getting brake lines.... And I am getting Rancho Shocks, RS5000's, I am growing fond of Rancho and they are offering stuff for Land Rover's, you just need to call them or stop by a 4wheelparts store and they will measure what you need and get you set up
