I've thought about them too, had them on my old Suzi. Trouble is the difference between the spring and chassis widths. Its about 30-40mm. I then thought of using this width difference to my advantage, by making something like a set of Climax Shackles. But, I havent done any more about it.

I should be able to get plates bent too so the width problem should be able to overcome (climax have told me they can customise hilux drop shackles, but price was
