I rang around today call Dobinsons for the springs $195 front $250 rears and snake racing will custom make rancho 9000's for $195 each have to fit the springs first then measure the length from top mount to bottom mount. Going that path myself and removing the body lift or I'm going to have probs with my new bullbar and the authorities
Give greg from Outcast Offroad (0424705300) on the gold coast a call. he does all kinds off rangie and disco (D1 and D2) suspension setups from mild to wild.
Do not go Rancho!!!
You will regret it....
Get some Billie 7100s from the USA
Thanks for the heads up I'll give them a call and see what they can do for me
80 series Toyota will fit in the front.
If you change the rear shock bottom mount to an "eye" you can use GQ Patrol shocks.
Using these opens up a whole range of shock brands you can use. As Tombie said stay away from Rancho. Our RRC is 4 " lift and runs Big bore EFS in the rear, the valving is very good for a loaded RRC running 35" tires. (remember to calculate for unsprung weight) Adjustable big bore Tough dogs in the front with after market shock towers to give you more room as the shocks are quite a bit bigger in diameter.
It works well for us and behaves very well on and off road.
Hope this helps.

TJM also offer long travel shocks to suit 3-4" coils (XGS Gold range) - the fronts are from the 100 series [part# 650GE180B], but the rears are custom to Land Rovers (part# 650GEL238S) with eye/pin.
There is also another alternative, which is the one I'm going to try out with my 4" coils. TJM Tiger Adjustables using 100 series in the front [part# 650ADJ180B] and convert the rear mount to eye/eye and run GU rears (part# 650ADJ212E). I'm going to be using these in my build up starting in September, so I'll try to remember to add a performance update once they're installed.
They won't give me as much travel as a full custom setup, but are a good compromise for on/off road manners. These shocks come with 9 stage adjustment, so they should help on-road manners when firmed up and be more compliant off-road when softened.

It's better to regret the things you've done than those you haven't!
