I have no experience but I am very interested.  I'm just to scared to dig into something like that.  How much does your rig way?  I might know some one with some coils that might work.

An easy way to think with it would be to look at the front of any newer coil sprung jeep.  The parts you see are what you will have to replicate.  Lots of welding and measuring.

frame may need to be beefed up or replaced. it's kinda' small and only part of the frame is boxed..
I don't really know though, I wouldn't trust it to last off road.. well with me driving anyways
