Nice one. Thanks Jordi
Re: New guy with Lwb
Technically both aren't mine, ones my fathers and the other is mine, but I'll get to use both when finished anyway 
The YJ kits you can buy will only fit the front of a Lwb, the rear spring mounts are different to the ones on a swb SJ so it would probably easier to just make the rear adapters from scratch rather than modify some from a kit.
All YJ springs are the same lengths, only difference between front and rears is that the fronts are normally 4 packs and rears 5 pack. However some US guys run the 5 leaf packs front and rear. I run 4s on the front and 5s on the rear and it works really well, would think a 5 leaf pack on the front might be better if you had a big winch or heavier engine than stock though.
