How are you going to level out the front once you have lifted the rear 4 or more inches?

Smurf says this as you can only get about 2 inches out of the torsion bars. If you wind them to far you will be against the bump stops and have no travel left

Do front springs off a 80 series land cruiser fit in and give it a 50 mm lift from standard height?

80 series fronts are a different diameter coil and don't fit. Will also lift higher than the 80 series rear.
