I had two sets of the long fluid lines (one brake line, two fuel lines) that run front to rear along the frame, one set from a 62 I parted out a few years ago, and the ones from the FJ60. I used the 60 brake line, but chose the fuel lines from the 62 because they are the same size as the one on the HJ (the FJ lines were smaller) and they install a little cleaner running parallel the whole way down the frame. In order to make it work, I had to add a couple bends around the new tranny x-member brackets..










My suspension components arrived as well, so I installed the front springs.








It's hard to say how much lift I ended up with until I get the rear springs installed, but here's what I am using...

Front:
- Re-arched springs (6 leaves)
- Greaseable pins
- SOR 1.5" over "Performance" shackles with greaseable bolts
- 2.5 deg, caster shims
- Poly bushings

Rear:
- Re-arched springs (7 leaves)
- Greaseable pins
- SOR 2.5" over "Performance" shackles with greaseable bolts
- Poly bushings
