:thefinger: I've been doing a little bit more than just a YJ conversion though and workshop moves and crashing golfs doesn't really help progress :hahaha:

I have Cad drawings of my spring adapter plates and I've just got to draw up the Ubolt plates and front shackle hangers so give me a week or two and ill post them up. I don't get much time to sit down on my pc at home to finish them.

You could easily do the conversion in a day if you had everything ready.

Just cheap Astra gas shocks (9.5" travel) at the moment but I will eventually upgrade to some Bilstein 5100 shocks from the US
