Heres one for Sportage owners. I have a 97' and just fitted standard TJ Wrangler springs to the rear only for a 2.5" lift. I picked up the whole set F+R springs and shocks for $100. The owner had them removed at 1k, so have seen very little work. While the other stuff dosnt fit, I have other plans for them anyway.
Overall very happy with this 4X4 so far. 10.8L/100km

Not bad little jiggers, eh...
I have had
mine for about three yrs. Ironman can get some front springs made that will equal the 2.5" lift you have in the rear, or there are spring spacers that are available from someone on this site, along with F&R automatic lockers (like Lokka's) from Sth Korea.

Don't have access to a workshop manual for the gearbox and transfer case do you? I will be pulling my 1996 one down shortly to trace a bit of noise.
