Just considering this as an option for my lwb. Thought there was a few guys here running similar setups.
I need a bit more length out of my rear springs. From memory hilux leafs are 5mm wider than sierra springs and need to be ground down a little ????

Just check that 60mm - i believe they're actually 63.5 or something.

Also - Diesel hilux leaves are rated heavier (fronts, not sure about rears) - Petrol are the way to go.

Rather than grinding the leaf down and risking a fatigue point, you could make stepped shackles? But given the length of a hilux rear you'll likely need to weld on new hangers anyway. They also have an offset center pin i believe?, so axle position needs to be considered.
