Everything looks correct, but I haven’t measured.

Right. That’ll make a HUGE difference. The body will not be sitting on the chassis the same.

I can tell you from experience that standard springs ride "better" in that they are more forgiving on bad/bumpy roads. However the springs found in lift kits with typically higher spring rates actually in my experience do allow the defender to handle significantly better on the road. (Less body roll and less bouncing). Others will more than likely disagree ... but I am giving you an opinion based on my experience.
