I'd be interested in the for my '86 60.

Are the pictures of your truck with the Dobinsons with 5 leafs in front and 6 leafs in rear? Did you notice any height change? If so, how much? What size wheel and tire are pictured? Did you do any axle angle shims? Which springs did your remove from the spring pack? Third one down from longest to shortest? Thanks for the additional details.
Edit: @Dekeman just rear your reply to Rusty and Dusty(?), which answered most of my questions above (except whether you used shims). Were the shackles anti-inversion three-bar type or normal two-bar type? Were they extended shackles or stock length? I am running 31s too and would like to get a height similar to your trucks'. Do you happen to have the Spector shackle part numbers? Thanks!

@FirstFJ60 Shocks I used are posted with a link to them earlier in the thread. @garfieldthecat pretty sure the part numbers to the shackles are in the photos I posted earlier. They were stock height, not extended or anti-inversion. They've been good, but if doing over I might go with the Dobinson shackles only because they come with nipple shrouds. Not that I need that but beefier for sure.
Recent pic of the truck now that it has settled a little. New rims but still on 31s.

Hey Kurt do you have any pics of the stance this "stock height" kit will achieve?

Thanks for that @Dekeman I'll read back on the thread. And thanks for letting us know that the Dobinson's shackles would be your preference today. Great looking truck!
Installing a set next week. Stoked to try this kit out.
Thanks @cruiseroutfit for researching and bringing these springs back to life in the US.

Those look stout. Looking forward to before and after pix, and your take on how they ride.
Will provide an honest assessment.

These look like they cross-reference to FJ62 part numbers? Are they different lengths than FJ60 springs?
We are installed these on an FJ62.
We are super happy with this kit.
The truck sits at a very nice level with stock tire size and it rides very nice with new suspension components.
Some slight changes need to happen with later 60 and 62 vehicles in the rear; spoke with @cruiseroutfit today and he was super receptive to my suggestions for additions/changes to the kit to make it PnP for the DIY or professional shop user.
Great to have an option for folks who love the classic look of a 6x series using Japanese parts and OEM components/parts suppliers.

Looks great.
We'll be rebuilding my 60 as close to stock as possible. So what would those parts set me back?One of our other stock Japanese suspension customers ( @dmc ) stopped by today for some goodies.

He's extremely happy with how it rides and handles with the new suspension

I'm away from the sales office for the day but they are there for another half-hour and could get right back to you with a price:

Indeed I'm very happy with the suspension. I have a few thousand miles the springs and it drives so well. The stance is just right. Thanks @cruiseroutfit for the awesome service.
These 60s with the new springs look like they’re riding about 1 inch higher than the true Toyota stance when the 60s rolled out of the factory in the 80’s.
This is a good thing.
The stock springs were very low. A brand new 60/62 on the dealership lot only had about 1/2” downward travel on the front springs before hitting the bump stop.
I measured one (at the dealership) in 1988.
