Hello everybody, I picked up a project in progress a few weeks ago and I am checking the fit of installing a 4 link. The FJ40 is a 69 that came with a fully disassembled blasted and primed body that had all the rust repaired. It had a 350 short block that I sold to go with an LS. It also has an SM465, NP205, good front axle and a rear axle that had the diff centered but just tacked together. The rear axle will be scrapped for an explorer 8.8 with posi. The front spring and shackle mounting points were removed to have a shackle reversal installed. I also do not have the rear shackle hangers but do have the spring perches. With it being far from stock already and all that is missing for a leaf spring suspension and rear axle, I am looking into installing a 4 link system. I am modeling it in CAD but do not have a reference for the frame height.
I have been through the posts and see people sharing measurements to the rain gutter or points on the windshield but I would have to get gaskets and put the body together to use those dimensions. Does anybody have measurements to points on the frame they can share with a comment if its stock height or how much its lifted?
