i've been looking for a good combination of springs for when i get new tires for my '79 yota. i've pretty much maxed out my capability with stock 28s(had 31s and no lift, blew a tire, hard to find around here[gateway buckshots]) and i want to go to something a little bigger. i'm figuring 33s will be a good match for my pickup. i'm thinking about running chevy 1/2 ton springs in the rear, and possibly moving my rear toyota springs up front and using boomerang shackles. would that be a decent flexy setup for the size of tires i want to run? can i borrow anybody's leaf pack recipe?

You should be able to fit 33s with just a little trimming on a '79.

Got crossover steering yet? I'd put money into that before springs. And at least a rear locker/spool/welded.

i'm definitely doing crossover and a locker. probably standard crossover, little cheaper and i don't have to mount the steering box as far forward. as for the locker, i'm going to find an '86+ rear housing and retrofit in an e-locker

i was just looking to replace my springs, the fronts are completely flat and probably even a bit negatively arched, the rears look alright

You really should go at least 35's. But, the spring setup you mentioned will be fine wiht 33's...maybe a little trimming.
