I did the same swap last year on my '84 Xcab. The springs are nearly as long as the bed! I got all of the bits from Trevor @ WFO though I later ended up making my own spring plates w/ 1/2" U-bolts as I set the shocks too close & his 5/8" U-bolts & plates rubbed. First class parts from WFO & Trevor is a hoot to talk to.

I used the stock yota overload, upside down & with all of the gubbins shaved off, rather than the monster GM part. FWIW welded spring steel won't hang in there long term.

The truck likely has about 8k-10k miles on those springs. That and going to Bils on all four corners are the two best mods I've done to the truck.

I've got some low suspension speed damping issues, but then the remote 7100's were used. Plan is to tear them down after Memorial Day & find out what their gig is.
