after much thought about best spring arrangement for my samurai,due to cost and time available have decided to go ruf with standard springs but not sure if i should go with 2" lift springs on the rears or standard. both without the helper leaf by the way. thoughts ?
working off calmini reverse shackles on the front which may make a difference. cheers.

Re: sj springs
You'll need lift springs on the rear to level it out.
Rascal springs work out about the right height.

Re: sj springs
Rascal springs are getting hard to get hold of now though... the calmini reverse shackles give you about 2" I think but not sure how they will work with RUF

Re: sj springs
I currently run RUF, and just 2" lift shackles from WellSpacedOut on the rear. Not ideal, but does the job for now.
Paired up with Astra shocks, it flexes up quite nicely.
Would like some lift springs for the rear instead of shackles. Keeping an eye out for Rascal/Carry ones, but might just end up modding for Hilux ones.

Voodoo I'll call you tomorrow lunchtime to discuss suspension options. Sorry I've just been super busy and keep forgetting to call.
You won't easily be able to run RUF with a calmini shackle reverse as the springs are longer than the fronts so it will move your axle too far backwards. Personally I would go Ruf and loose the shackle reverse.
