Don't think 60 leaves can help you at all. For the rear, 79 leaves are the go, much longer, thin out the pack if you can compromise load carrying, be aware though that you can start causing axle wrap with a thin pack, even sprung under.

For the front, dunno, measure up some springs at the wreckers, but anything from another model may move your diff also, meaning consider brake lines, driveshafts, shock locations etc etc.

An easier solution is probably a well sorted off the shelf kit, 2"body kit, decent tyres and lockers. Also if your shock length is wrong, you're wasting your time to begin with.

From memory I think the fronts are shorter. about 1" dont rember the rears.

Just buy a full set for your model and enjoy many years of motoring for little more cost! At least you know it all fits, complies, vehicle is level, safe and works,& fitting easy. There is always the reset option as well. and if you want more leafs add some of the 60"s to fill.

Reread your thread, most come with several lift options so 75 series with 2" or 3" plus lift and how many leaves you want, remember you also have to comply with adr and frandom police inspections.
