My 81 FJ40 rides like a 27 year old truck, kind of mushy springs and stiff shocks. Not too bad but it has all original suspension, including 27 year old shocks. I was considering the 2 inch OME full meal deal light/medium duty kit with springs and shocks. TLC told me it would settle to about a 1 inch lift.
The question is this: would I be getting a decent ride if I just slapped on a nice set of Bilsteins and left the springs stock? I can afford the OME kit but have no desire to throw away money if I don't have to. Any opinions?
It looks like this now.
