This is never going to happen. Did you check out the website linked from the original post? They don't make anything long-travel or SAS for any of the vehicle models on their site, some bumpers, some brackets, some tool tootsie rolls and that's about it. Their stuff is nice but I just don't see it happening.
And their last reply doesn't instill any confidence either.
If you want it, get camburg racing to build you some upper and lower control arms with a coil over, extended FDS, probably a new subframe in the front too...that's the quickest it's going to happen!
The 2 more recent threads that come to mind:
A vendor that was trying to sell a kit:
100 Series Coil Over Conversion Kit
Contact Info- Killer Off Road Fabrication (805) 727 - 0551 Korfab1479@gmail.com We have just finished designing our 100 Series Land Cruiser coil over conversion kit, and we are very excited to release this kit. Our kit was designed in Solidworks and is fabricated from .125 and...forum.ih8mud.com
A member that did a creative one off for himself:
100 series long travel #ih8torsionbars!
Build finally done! Specs: 6” lift, 4” wide long travel with king coilovers, high steer kit, hydro bump stops, limit straps and swaybar quick disconnects! 10 inches of travel! All hardware upgraded to 3/4” grade 8. Kit is 100% bolt on besides the bump stops.
I’m pretty sure we all know that a conversion kit for the 100 is a long shot at best. The larger shops like camburg have probably determined long ago that their efforts spent in a small market wouldn’t be worthwhile. We’ve already seen that a conversion is possible and not an unreasonable task. If a small company that already focuses in the niche land cruiser market has enough interest to put the effort in, it costs us nothing to show interest and sit back and watch.
Whether this happens or not, I do expect the aftermarket support for the 100 to continue to grow. It wasn’t that long ago that we had only a couple options for bumpers or aftermarket wheels. As these trucks have become more affordable, more people (there’s 11,000 in just the one Facebook group now) have been willing to spend money on mods. Some of these long shots may actually come to fruition, and many of us see the torsion bar as the main limitation for this platform.

Is there any cross compatibility? For example you can bolt Tundra Total Chaos control arms onto a 200 series.
Yes but tundras and 200s are both coil spring already.
The torsion bar IFS just kills us.
My big hope is that Marlin Crawler might adapt their RCLT for the 100 series....
I’m not in the way, just discussing reality based on your responses to updates.
Seems you are in your own way!
All BS aside, develop it and get it for sale and stop posting Nooooooope memes.
And edit: no vehicles on your site have a long travel kit available. Exactly what I said above.
While you are taking directions from a consumer, a non smart-ass update on what you've done development-wise would be helpful.
There’s 33 people checking out this thread. My trash talking hopefully generates interest and creates motivation.
Same here. Excited for something to show up.
