I have a 1988 BJ71 JDM as seen in my Avatar. The stock leaf springs have been swapped out at some point by a PO. The leafs are marked as follows:

#F60480 Front
#R60720 Rear drivers side
#R60730 Rear Passenger side

Can anybody tell me what company makes this suspension

Thought I would add a couple of pics of the suspension. I know I have seen these extended shackles somewhere else on mud before

Looks like I over looked the obvious. The Leaf springs are Toyota factory replacement parts as listed in the Toyo-DIY.com catalogue.

Hello,

It seems the PO decided to play it safe with the leaf springs. On the other hand, the shackles look JDM.

Your rig's suspension looks clean. Did you clean it? Was is kept that way by the PO?

Thanks for your input on the shackles. I have had the vehicle now for 3 years and the leafs looked brand new when I bought it

Yup, those are "Dune" forged shackles... I cut mine shorter and used the bolt holes that allow for them to be shorter. They're a pretty good shackle, but way too long.

Did the same with mine except mine did not have the second hole so I had to drill out new holes.

As shown in the picture mine is running in the longest hole position. It has 2 1/2 degree shims added front and back and the stock leafs. It seems to work fine and gives enough clearance to run 33x12.5x15's
