Have you considered either a YJ or Toyota mini truck rear conversion? You will have stronger longer and more flexible springs and they can be had at any wreckers for cheap.

Thank you for the help!  That looks like a great option I am looking into it.  Cant say the same for any one else in this forum 122 views and no reply

I've installed these springs on a Samurai SPUA.  They have quite a bit of arch, but seem to ride decent for what they are.

I have run the 5-leaf YJs SPOA but took them off due to all the axle wrap.  Not familiar with Toyota spring swaps.
