Re - 60 - 70 -- Couldn't tell you. Could it be that they just modified existing FJ40, FJ50 plans when developing Fj70 / Fj60? For the Hi-Lux it was a new design.
For other manufacturers? I wouldn't even attempt it.
My point, which I obviously wasn't clear on, is that you can't use the argument that SR is bad because Toyota didn't design it that way. Toyota Engineers used SR is their design of the Hi-Lux. So it must not be terrible. After 85 they abandoned that in favor of IFS for the Minis, and Coils for the 80's.

Can you please detail what those "measures" were "to counteract the effects of doing so"?
