I may have a spare set in a week or so, keep in touch. The LWB ones are an upgrade option for you, you are welcome to try them out if you want.

Yes, they fit easily. Take the shock absorbers off at the bottom then either support the vehicle and lower the axle or lift the body & chassis and the springs will pull out.

LWB are heavier than the Swb ones & another useful lift is used Poootrol springs however they may cause driveline viabrations if gone to high.

Patrol/Safari rear springs are the same diameter as Pajero ones.

There is some on trademe of 1991 SWB Pajero with a 50mm lift.

Those ones on trade me with a 50mm lift are chamberlain springs - well they look like them anyway. I have some in mine - they do give a wee lift but are also possibly firmer. Ideally I'd have some the same rate as the originals but longer.
