i daily drive my 85 runner with the chevy 63 swap and double shackle. been fine so far but if i were to do it again id go with f150 rears, less overhang especially if u plan on bobbing your truck

I have a TG rock assult rear axle but just the stock rear leafs on blocks and shackles rides rough and flexes ok but want more flex I'm running a 5 inch TG leafs in the front and it's level Ultimate off-road in fresno could get TG parts cheaper then going to the store it's self cuz of there account

TG springs blow,

but yea the stock 63s alone wont net u enough lift to match the 4" front. blocks will be needed,

look into the f150 rears, but to take out all the guess work u can still go with TG rear leafs.
