I was simply referencing the Monroe catalog.  Any Monroe dealer should be
able to get it.  I realize for you that is not so easy, but Carquest,
Autozone, or any US retail replacement auto parts on-line store that
carries Monroe should be able to get them for you.  You have the part
number which is the hardest part.

The upper spring perch would be independent of the size of the sleeze.  It
would have to be made for whatever size spring you are using of
course.  The upper perches you list are for 2.25" springs which would be
too small.  You will want perches for 2.5" springs.

It looks to me like the part number you would want is:

70.29.01.119.0 - Upper spring seat 2.5" flat

This is my best guess from the Truechoice catalog <http://www.truechoice.com>
