Wrong website Dan. Everything i've seen on here pretty much trial and error, BFH, grinder and welder!
No science required

Just had an epic FB chat about it with Rockwatt.

Idea seems to be build the fitting kit to suit the standard springs and give the lifted ones a try after.

Have a little read of this build Dan. This guy uses a combination of 4" lift and standard YJ's.

Oystein (shuduck) spent a long time playing with different combo's of leafs before finding the set up he liked, so id imagine you might have to do the same, it's an awesome build though, I 'borrowed' a few ideas from it myself.

Have read that build before but needed a refresher!

Got half way through it and my eyes hurt.

Think I should make the rear spring relocation plates and shackles as that's the easy bit then I can try the rears out and find a combo that works and try replicate it on the front which will be more effort to make the kit.
