well just to finish off the thread neatly, I now have my shiney new springs on 
After lots of calculations and slowly getting aclimatised to the idea of parting with huge chunks of cash, I went with Old Man Emu. I nearly vomitted at the cost, but at least I'm happy I've paid the cash for a calculated need rather than a badge engineered finish, and to be fair they are very good now they're on - a much improved ride and I'm confident they will give me the performance I need. Sh*t - I sound like a razor advert : )
terrafirma where the next choice and cheaper, but not many are running them and they are unproven. I have had a set of thier shocks which weren't too hot though, and I think they put more effort into sales than they do into making the right sale, so for now I'll give em a miss.
I was close to using genuine as well, but it turns out my rear springs are the smaller diameter 90/disco/rangie springs rather than the 110's size I thought they were, and there aren't any hefty enough to lift the ambulances big arse up when loaded.
glad thats all done, I can get back to more serious business now, like trying to wedge massive speakers and a revolving mini bar in.
