Happy New Year! Back with a few updates:
This thing needed some more style so I rolled the dice on some GCC style graphics from eBay (meant for a newer Prado). I love it!
Improvised sketchy flex test to test rear clearance. Add this to the reasons why I need to buy a forklift...
Full size spare on a steel wheel mounted to the Bellfab mount. Works great.

I'm in Cumming and definitely down for a trip with y'all. Keep me posted once you have some details. Dropping link to the graphics below. Looking back, these are actually meant for a 5th gen 4Runner. The seller has many other options though (and they're cheap!)

As expected, longer rear bumpstops were in order. Found some info here referencing a 70 series part number that was an inch longer and got some on the way. Turns out the bolt pattern is slightly different but opening up the holes did the trick. These will likely compress a bit more under real use but these should work well until I inevitably decide to fully tub the rear.
Ideally you would space down the bump stops that are inside the spring the same amount. They are a progressive bump stop that are meant to soften the hard hits.
The way you have it now they don't even come into play. This is a very overlooked aspect of lifting a 80 !!!
