Lmao Ike... Nice

Basically, what most people do is a combination of these: Ball joint spacer or crank the torsion bars for the front, and blocks, add-a-leaf, longer shackles, or a bigger leaf pack for the rear. It's up to you. Just search on those items.

You can do the 63" chevy swap for the rear, a bit of work but it's worth it if you're wanting to articulate

All I know is 63" is the length of the spring and you can yank them off almost any GMC/Chevy pickup from somewhere in the 80's to pretty recent and slap them under a toy with minor mods (moving spring mounts forward) and get nice results search Pirate4x4 they have a huge thread dedicated just to chevy swaps
