I went to the arb site and didn't see an option for an '83 pick up. I have come across one that has been sitting for.cheap and am thinking about picking it up. Part of the refurb is suspension.

Lots of places just list the 84/85 kit for 79-85 pickups. The front springs are the identical, the rear springs are the same length and will bolt in place, but I've read that the centering pin is just slightly different. If I remember right, it will move your axle back about half an inch back. ARBUSA is good at answering questions, I'd give them a call if you want to know for sure.

If it's a full kit, the springs and bushings and shackles should all work. I'm not certain about the steering dampner or shocks.

ah, right on. looks like the kits are different too. Springs are probably the same but shocks are different

SHOCK SELECTION N89/N95 FOR MEDIUM AND N89 FOR HEAVY APPLICATIONS APPLIES TO VEHICLES UP TO 1984 DUE TO A 16MM EYE AND SHORTER
OPEN AND CLOSED LENGTHS. POST 1984 VEHICLES WITH 19MM EYE USE N85/N94 FOR MEDIUM APPLICATIONS AND N85 FOR HEAVY APPLICATIONS.

Downey Toyota was the early Toyota specialists unfortunatly they closed about a year ago. I'm running KYB shocks with a set of 3" springs from NW Offroad (also gone) and have been pretty happy with the setup however it is a little stiff (but flexes well).
