You can still get them genuine from Toyota, but I would cringe at the asking price.
Damn you must have been driving it hard!

I had no idea that there even was a coil sprung rocky, can you show a pic from further back under the car to see what the rest of the set up looks like, is the front coil, leaf or torsion?

yeah they made a coil spung rocky i think 93 onwards they were coil in the rear and ifs in the front. here are a few rear diff pic i can get pics of the whole car if u would like
the only down side to the car is the ifs. I'm looking into converting the front ifs to axle so i can lift it more and get a better ride out of it just need to get a list of what's needed so if anyone can help with coil/axle conversions id appreciate it

The easiest way would be to get a front diff out of an early model diesel and weld on all the spring perches and arm mounts.
It would be a big job but all the steering/brakes/ratios would be the same
not sure about the width.

Could you make your own rear arms?
Using RHS 5mm+ thickness, weld in the bushes and some plate for coil mounts.
For the front:
F75, F77 daihatsu front diff.
Make a whole new front crossmember for the front suspension mount -similar to hilux item.
Cut a hole in the chassis for the swinging shackle, sleeve the hole.
My idea for suspension is to use F77 REAR ute leaves in the front.
The have the same front to center, but are 70mm longer.
