Any year, but dont get second hand standard trooper coils as they will have sagged, Disco and other makes may just fit but they are not designed for the Trooper/Fronteras ( same running gear ) they will have completely different compression characteristics, and pretty sure the footprint would be different to.
Many people have tried to find a cheaper way of doing a lift, I reckon most avenues have been explored.

Why HD, they are rubbish for offroad. You'll get lift, but you'll loose most of the articulation?

Why not get +2" springs from OME, Calmini (specialist leasure) or have some custom made at about £130 a pair.

were the nearest place to get some rear springs for my LWB fronty ,, ?   thinking of going 2 inch + ,, with 235 85 16 , for a bit of offroading  in the summer ,,, doin me head in how hard to find any ,,  i like the frontera  but its looking like im might go for a old disco as bits are all over ebay ?  ive got 2 fronty's N-REG lwb 2.8 diesel ,,  and a  W-reg 2.2 petrol rs sport . one of them was going to be my offroader ,,   but i sold my bro a 200 tdi disco last year  and i might be getting it back ,, but i like the comfort of te fronty's ...   thanks all   cheers mark
