Searching for Leaf Springs
I have an '87 Hilux Surf and the leafs only have about 1" of clearance.

I live in Japan, so the mechanics here are unable to repair the truck because "its too old". Since they are worthless, im searching for parts myself.

Im trying to find a full suspension rebuild kit for stock height, not for a lift.

Does anyone know of any good places that has international shipping?

Also, as im not 100% sure what all i need, is this correct?:
2 leafs
4 ubolts
6 bolts
12 bushings
White lithium grease


Thats about it right?

Thanks for the help

Have you considered custom made leaf springs? Custom can also be made for stock height ( no lift). I use Alcan on my Jeep. They would need to know eye to eye length. Vehicle weight on front and rear axle. Is the axle center pin 'centered ' on the leaf spring? Offset by how much? No clue on shipping. There are other custom manufacturers too. They have specific requirements for ubolts. Have to ask them or your preferred vendor.

I know you don't really want a lift, but OME makes a really nice 2" lift kit that rides and handles better than new. They're available worldwide.

Would used OEM parts work for you?
This site Toyota parts catalog

sources many of their parts from Thailand and surrounding areas. I haven't used them much, but the parts would be used OEM and shipping to you might be much less expensive.
