No car is worth that, we are making the decisions together on this which is cool in and of itself.
I feel bad about mentioning it now but in the long run it is a better set up. The benefit is that we're a couple project lines ahead so we should be able to get you some measurements to get you dialed in pretty quick. Getting your own welder is a great decision. It opens up a lot of options. There's a bunch of stuff I've built that is not truck related.
mmm... grinder dust.

As much as it sucks to get this far and now restart a couple things, it is definitely going to be worth it in the long run. I just picked up Chevy springs today so all that is left is the spring swap kit from ruff Stuff and the welder.

Those Chevy 63 springs are substantially bigger and longer than the stock land cruiser springs. I'm excited to get them under it. I was able to find the 4 leaf springs do I need to do any modding or removal of a leaf?

Were they out of a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton? You want springs from a 3/4 ton, the 1/2 ton will be too soft

We went the miller route. We decided on their multimatic 220... given the welding projects I wanna do it made the most sense to pony up now.
I believe they came out of a Chevy 1500 2wd

Here’s how I’m sitting with Chevy 63’s with overload.
Your going to want an overload.

You’ve got the wrong springs. Those will be way too soft and it will drive horrible.

I picked up my 4 leafs plus overload on CL for $75. Did you already pay for your 3 leafs plus overload?

yea, already paid for.

Then that’s your next option.
Yes, the 3 leaf plus overload is too soft. Even the 4 leaf plus overloads are soft, but work out just right. IMO, if you are able to find some 4 plus overload packs I'd go that route rather than an add a leaf.
Could you remind me what engine you are running or plan on running? If it's the 2F or something as heavy, for your FJ60 rear springs a long add-a-leaf is a good idea.

He’s also wanting to do a Diesel engine swap in the future.
