Milners have the springs for £45 each + VAT and delivery. When I got some for a L200 they were heavier duty and lifted the back end.

Its probably worth a call and ask how many leafs they have, might be more than whats already on.

There is a place in manchester tht reconditions springs and will add extra but it probably works out dearer than buying heavy duty.

Milner list the same part number for the MK1 Isuzu Trooper and the Isuzu KB pick up.
And procomp are doing +1 Brava springs for £87.90 a pair less your club discount Wink

The cheapest way is to buy longer U bolts and put a spacer inbetween the leaf and the axle (presuming the spring is on top of the axle).

If the spring is under the axle you could always swap it over but it would raise it 3or4 inches then Shocked

A quick fix would be a set of lift shackles for the rear of the springs at about £60 a pair, but if your springs are now weak you would be best to just replace them.
