Default japanese hilux with revolver type shackles

I saw this hilux on you tube and did a little searching and found it is japanese made by a club of people (pottedrc)it has some cool spring shackles on it and was wondering if anyone knew if there was more info on it somewhere hopefully in english. I got a pic that shows them a little but not too well. I can't seem to get it to post here but the name of the guy that built it is:

TOYOTA HILUX HIGH-LIFT Toshi Special "Competition Version"

I saw that video they have a bunch more i got a pic of them closed i was wanting one open or extended they look just like the ones for full size trucks. Just trying to see if they would be easy to make as I'm not sure where to start material wise.

Yeah, Teraflex originally made those (mostly for the YJ, I believe).

JP's has a set for sale that would save you a bit of time:
