Same thing came up for me. Is there a rebuild kit for our leaf springs? maybe I can add a leaf or shackle kit after a
rebuild.

you could also get a set of stock leaf springs from a 97-99 Montero Sport. IIRC, the 4cyl and 3.0L ones had the leafs and the 3.5L had coils for which the leafs give close to 2in lift. For shocks, I tried ProComp 3000's and did not like them. I like the KYB gas-a-just better. For Tbars, I just cranked mine up 1.5in.

Cool, how was your ride quality? are they around the same length for a bolt in? want to keep the axle in the same location if possible <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Now if they do I need to find some!!

Ride quality of the MS springs I don't know about since I'm not running them. I just know I read on here that it will work and believe it keeps the axle in the same place. The KYB is like most say on here. you feel the bumps more. but in a good way. with other shocks, you keep bouncing, with kyb, you feel it once and it's done.
