Hi all,
I am glad to be here. I am restoring a 73 FJ 40 and I have a question about suspension. If I instal just the EMU shocks and damper will that give me any lift on the truck? Or do I also have to install new springs and shackles? What are the advantages and disadvantages of going either way with just emu socks or with both shocks and springs and shackles. How will these affect the ride and handling of the truck. The truck will mostly be used as a beach cruiser on and around Nantucket and I doubt it will be crawling any rocks if you don’t include all the day hoppers in the street I will have to try and avoid. It will also be driven by my daughters and wife. Thanks for your combined wealth of knowledge.
