Shopping international is the only option I guess. I browse this sometimes, as the Russians do a lot more with the LJ78's than we do in North America. People here don't seem to build for extreme off road the way they do. 100's of light duty 70 series builds on this site: Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 70-series.

Anyhow, I noticed this guy bought some radius arms somewhere in Russia I'm guessing. They allowed him to fit 37" tires. I like this look, haha.

To put in a 37 , the axles will be required to push 1-2” forward from my memory. One thing with the suspension on the prado is I really hate the shocks design which is inside the coils. There’s a time I’m thinking to cut the wheel house off for easy access in removing and installation of the absorber. But the battery is right there. Unless if relocate the battery and air box.

I think I read the radius arms that guy used are longer and shift the front axle forward as well as correcting caster angle.

Looks like he put in 1UZFE too. You can see all his articles on work done below here: Toyota Land Cruiser Prado на DRIVE2.RU - https://www.drive2.ru/r/toyota/land_cruiser_prado/472258387145392334/

Few more pictures.

Ah this one, I’m not sure about the springs but the absorbers are made in thailand. They are not bad at all for their price range. These guys came to Malaysia RFC (rain forest challenge) I do recognize some of the face.
 
If I'm planning on running wide 33s and a 1.75" lift from Dobinsons, will I have to get different radius arms or will I be fine with the stock ones ? I'm very new to the car hobby and I have Zero mechanic knowledge lol
P.s. : I read the 6 pages I'm still clueless.

Below 2.0” lift not needed.
 
I have this coming, specially construct for 3-4 inch lift. With the steering arm at the kingpin knuckle. Can suit original tie Rod end or link ends.
