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.
