so i have read all of the longer leafs thread and as we all know, mazda 323 springs are very hard to find, especially in Darwin, what other springs are available that would fit straight into the rear of a zook that are longer and possibly move the diff back a bit, being a LWB ute tire clearance isn't an issue. i read somewhere that Isuzu leafs fit? but any ideas would be great.

Is there a spring manufacturer near you? Custom made don't cost all that much so that's an option, but otherwise if you give them your sierra measurements they may be able to cross reference to their system for same width / similar length to open up some options.

You'd need to find a manufacturer... over here we have Westralia who make all sorts of custom stuff as well as off the shelf. Custom come in around $200/pack last time i quoted some. I ended up getting cheapo APM brand in the end though (about $120/pack IIRC).
