I just need to clarify something regarding a RUF..
I currently have 2 inch springs front and back - If I do a RUF can I use stock rears with longer shackles, or would i need 1-2 inch springs also?
I searched, but couldn't find exactly what I needed...
Cheers.

best way I reckon is use use the stock main leaf from a rear and the lifted front leafs you have now, same height, jsut better shackle angle

and the secondary leaf as well as it supports pretty much the whole length of the main.
on a side note, where did you search, there would only be about 20 odd pages of stuff on RUF

I looked here and on outers - lucky I asked because I had never heard Royce's suggestion.

Hahahahahahahaha
Damo, you funny
Don't put thoughts in his head though, he may just want to upgrade the hydro suspension.
