so i have been thinking. and leafsprings suck. but they are good i one way. i have seen jeeps take the leaf springs and turn them over and use them up side down i here you can get massive flex out of these systems. i was just wondering is this possible with a toyota. and can i do it for under 400 or 500 bucks. i think it would be wicked crazy.

use leaf packs out of a furd 63s for the rear.(BREAK ALOT) or go chevy 52s for the front & 56 in the rear. i score over 1000 on a 20 degree rti ramp (super flexy)

oh & you can do it for less then $500.00. it depends where junk yard you get them. 56s come out of 90 chevy pick up rear for your rear.(your trucks) 52s come out of the rear of a 70-80 pick up or blazer. it would give you around 4-5 inches of lift. rear axle going back 2-4 inches & the front will go foward 3 inches. need extend your driveshafts. & need to make a anti-rap bar w/ heim joints.

their you go. under $500.00
