I've been looking high and low for 1-1½ inch blocks to get the car a bit higher, but I just can't find them for LJ70 (round headlights). For any other LC yes, but not for this. Any pointers where I should look?

Front is easy, 'anything' will fit, suitable ones can be found even from a RWD Lada but for the rear spings they should be made for this car as the top of the spring is like it is.

The problem is that my car weights over 2400kg empty, and when we go on our trips it's propably over 2700kg and those bumpy Russian roads kill the springs quickly. Doesn't take a long time before my 2 inch springs (Have tried OME and Trailmaster, with OME Nitro Charger shocks) are almost as low as stock.

I've tried 4" Dobinsons springs but they were so stiff that it was terrible driving anywhere else than tarmac. And I also don't want it to be 4", a ~2" would be enough so that's why I'm just looking for a slight boost for my current setup.
 
Considered an airbag helper? Fill at the service station or in some cases, cab-mounted.
 
80 series front spacers (poly, not the bolt in type) are the same diameter as your rear spring size. Ebay has lots.

Are you sure of your numbers?? A stock LJ-70 should weigh about 1800 kg 0r 3968.31 lb which in the Land Cruiser world is fly weight

80 series front springs also fit rear of a 70. So after markets may assist you also.
