I have Toyota front extended shackles on the back of my Gen I SWB Mitsu. I got mine from:

Had to get the Toyota bushings from the Toyota dealer because the bolts are substantially bigger on the Toyota shackles. Had to shave a very slight amount off the OD of each bushing to fit the Mitsu springs and mount-points.

Also had to change the pinion-angle of my rear axle slightly with shims. Before I did, I had some nasty vibrations and blew out my rear pinion seal.

Gave me 2 full inches of lift (the Toyota shackles are 4 inches longer than the stock Mitsu shackles).
