Good deal, but pretty sure those s10 coil will be MUCH stiffer and ride higher than what is in there now, even if unsprung height is less. those hilux coil s are a relatively low spring rate.
After all these little things are about 2600 lbs, not 3600 lbs.
That was why I was looking at MGB coils back then, they were about 2300 lbs with a nice spring rate, and lowering springs were about $69. 3.75" diameter, varying free heights and spring rates available:

breakdown here:

ANyway hope that at least gives you a back up option, and good luck.

im throwin the weber on tomorrow. might get to doing the header this weekend too. and some tune up stuff. i got a set of 20s for my dodge, so im kickin the 15s to the new yota. just needs tires. anyways, i think im keepin it orange/red. might do a white top...dunno. i also tinted the tail light lenses, and i plan to put a board of red leds in place of the part that has the glass blinker and turn bulbs.

i drove it home from my buddys with the choke tiewired shut so it would stay runnin. 1 bbl of air, 1 bbl of gas. haha, limped it out of the valley to the burbs.
