the 63  are a thick leaf design,  which yea  they  flex  good  but ride rough,    to get good flex  and a nice ride you need about 6 thin leaves,   for the back of a 4runner  i would get  some 2wd F150  from say 88-about 93  year model,  and just bolt them up  with no block,   

another thing  is  if that pic of the shackle is at normal ride height, the  shackle  is bottoming out   you need another inch  of shackle length

stock ford springs by themselves? or added to my chevy pack?
My Build 1986 4runner SAS 36s etc

"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike
