Front springs cut one turn & the back leaves get a 2" block , pep boys sells a kit is not for Toyota but it can be used. Check out RollaClub.Com In the forum section (lowering blocks with u bolts) there's a pic. In there that's what you need

I've also heard that fox body Mustang rear shocks will work well with a lowering block, all you have to do is change out the bushing. Can anyone confirm this?

Also, does anyone know the stock spring rate for TE72 wagon rears? I'm sure it's something sorta firm but I can't seem to find it.

Hey I have a set of 2" blocks I made specifically for my 82 wagon. They are steel tubing that has the plates welded on the ends to box them in. Has a hole and stud to work with factory Toyota axle. Painted black. They worked great but I have since done an axle swap and don't need them. $20shipped anywhere in the US. Lmk.

OP hasn't been around in a while it seems. I lowered my '80 wagon though, did all the work myself. If you need help or have specific questions, OP, PM me.
