You need to unbolt the three way brake line 'T' piece and Carefully raise it up as far as the rigid brake lines will allow, and re-attatch with a longer bolt or leave it as is, to keep the slack in the the flexy brake hose. (see pic.)
Also, unclip the hand brake cables from the lower suspension arms and leave them loose, as there's not enough slack in them with the longer springs. (see second pic.)
Then you need to remove the two bolts from the LSPV bracket and turn it 90degrees and re-fit one of the bolts so that the LSPV is raised back to it's original position. (See pic three.)
Also, offer up the drop bracket to the outside of the chassis, so it's facing the back of the brake drum, insert one of the bolts into the bottom hole, and mark the position of the top hole and drill it out. (14mm) I used a cone drill bit, a very handy drill to have in your tool kit by the way.
Then fit the drop bracket, only tighten nuts finger tight so there's enough movement to re-fit the panhard rod. When the rod is fitted, tighten the top nut and bolt first, then the bottom one, 'cos as you tighten the bolts, this pulls the axle over in line with the body.
