Keep an eye out for someone selling a set of lifted springs then just sort out some shocks for it. I picked up a full set of 2" lifted springs, standard shackles, shocks and bushes for about $200. They don't come up very often but they do appear from time to time.

stock rear springs in front
carryvan or something springs in rear
measure up and get em reset to suit or find a press and do it yourself
supercheap shocks
Bruces bushes
long as you put the time in it will work better than anything you can buy and youll have change

Ubolts from king springs or pedders or anywhere that isn't ARB / TJM ect
Shocks from supercrap

looking at around 650ish. and you will have an excellent brand new setup.

Carry springs are actually shorter than rear's  However they do go well in the front of a zook
