His monty has coils.
There really isn't much in the way of off the shelf parts. Just have some one bend you new coil springs for the rear, and crank the bars in the front.

Spring seat spacers work great, unfortunately they must be custom made. Mine are made out of teflon, made by a friend at a weapons lab. Kind of odd, but works great.
1996 SR From the Area 51 Skunk Works. 37"BFG Tires, 5" lift, Rock Track 4:1 Case, Tom Woods Drive Shafts, Oasis Air, Front ARB, lifted gas tank, T-max winch and lots of stuff that cost too much.

Cybak, You'll find that this topic has been a very common one. Try doing a quick search for Valley Spring* to find them. Most who run bigger tires up front crank the torsion bars. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I recently made some coil spring spacers, and have the dimensions sketched out if you would like them. I made mine from aluminum, but that was because I found some cheap plate at the scrap yard.
1992 montero, cranked t-bars, OME springs, 1-1/2" spring spacers, Homemade rear bumper and roof rack, 33" BFG AT, 1" body lift, Superwinch hubs, '95 SR locking rear axle, was AT - now V5MT1-3 5spd.
