tbh I think that most people who do it are either in the US and not subject to our SVA tests, or are used for off road only

How much height you'll loose by removing a lead depends on the springs...you might not loose any??

You can buy kits or make your own for YJ springs (I made my own) and you'll probably need to make your own kit for lux springs but it's not too hard.

I'm going to get to work designing a bolt on RUF conversion for samurai's soon, got a few jobs to quickly get out of the way first though.
