You will also likely need new spring center pins and u-bolts.

You wont need new shocks, but your old stock shocks wont really work well either, it all depends on how much lift you get w/the remodeled springs and the travel the shocks have now.  You will likely end up with the stock shocks maxed out at ride height if you get 3-4" of lift from rebuilding the springs.

General rule of thumb is for every inch you move up you need to widen your track width by 1.5", to maintain a good center of gravity, and is why it is recommended to lift as little as needed and cut what hits.

What size tire are you planning on running?
'90 black X-cab mod'd 3.0, 33's/4.88's, rear ARB, custom bumpers, sliders, safari rack, etc.
'91 Blue X-cab 22re, 35's/5.29's,Truetrac front, ARB rear, dual cases, and custom Safari flatbed, bumper, interior.
The money pit '87 Supra resto/mod
