£495 for +1.5" springs from lama. Running rough country front shocks cant remember how much. Saw the second hand ones on here for £120 a pair. And KYB on the rear £70.

Extended braided hoses from llama again, id have to check price.

i got my standard springs from jap4x4spares, i think ive spent about £350 on the full set of standard springs..

if i was you id do the rascal rear spring swap, ive priced up all lifts and worked out that one to be best price for a good safe lift..

you'd need:
SJ rear springs..
remove flat leaf and add one of the leafs from the old front leaf set..
rascal rear springs..
rascal rear springs and if you have the money some missing link shackles, but for cheaper way to do it extended shackles front and rear
extended hoses
extended shocks (you already have them right?)
and if i was you a new set of U bolts...

you may need 4 M12 bolts about 100mm long as the fixed end of the old springs can be a barsterd to get off and you may need to break out the grinder with a cutting disc and chop the old bolts and replace them...

I was thinking of doing that but heard that ironman springs was about 250 quid a set but I shall call west coast 4x4 just to see how much they are
