1" forward on a leafy is easy, but may slightly bind on the pitman.
More than 1" becomes a lot harder.

Just drill the holes in perches and spring backing plates (4 holes).
you may desire a drive shaft extension (for more spline engagement), and keep an eye on brake lines depending on lift.

Oh
Pay attention to the holes and orientation etc
Pretty sure someone on here proudly got it all together, before realising they pulled the diff back an inch, because had wrong side of perch drilled.

Only have to do 4 holes total, 2 per side.1 in the spring perch and 1 in the spring plate all the same distance from the original hole

Payes to be careful of the shock as well. I needed to space my lower shock mount back as the shock hit the bumpstop. Oh and
my diff also missed the bumpstop so I had to space it forward as well.

My diff was about 50mm forward

Haha

I had to move mine backwards after RUF and before P/S but the same idea applies.
I'll see if I have any pics.
