About this guide
A Chevy 63 swap puts 63-inch 1988-1998 half-ton Chevy or GMC leaf springs under specific Toyota trucks, 4Runners or Tacomas. It is a fabricated Toyota suspension conversion, not a universal Chevrolet kit. These nine current kits and build components need vehicle-specific measurement and competent welding.

Buying tips
- Confirm the Toyota generation, axle width, spring-perch location and desired shackle angle before ordering.
- Chevy 63 leaves, brake lines, shock mounts, spring plates and welding may be additional requirements.
- Do not reuse an unmeasured U-bolt or guess spring-plate compatibility; suspension hardware carries load.
