Couple of guys in our club have done a few different things with later model springs 2nd hand and done well for budget mods. There's a bit of info here http://www.3rdrock4x4.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=217
and have a read through Shorty_f0rty's rig on this board he's done well with 75's in front and 60's in rear, travels well too.

I have been through Carrol Springs (nth Meb) they are good, listen to what your ideas then give you their $.02.

Might help to add a load spring (shorter and flatter) it will add strength to the pack though with 3 leaves she must be soft
