Seems like we need 24 1/2 front portion and 27 1/2 back portion for a near fit for the rears.

And depending on the weight you need front is 5 back is 6 leafs...
so we need a 52" rear

This might be common knowledge but for the record SWB and MWB springs are the same lengths
... just thought I'd throw that in

Did anyone try the blazer or the toyota springs? I don't want to drop $1000 plus shipping for the alcan's if I don't have to.

Did you get 75 series landcruisers in the us? if so the rear pack out of them is near perfect
just under 24 inches in the front and just over 28 in the back half
needs custom shackles, or grind down the bush ends to fit

We didn't get the 70 series in the US.
I read here (
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/a ... 11366.html ) that the spring packs are the same in MQ Patrols. I found a place in Vegas that sells them.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

If I purchase the alcan springs will I need to purchase anything else to make them work? Example: bushings or anything?
