I’m going to leave the leafs…at least for now. It rides really well although there is a major gap between the quality of the shocks front and rear. I may have to save up for some Radflos for the rear 💸💸

haha nice. Was awesome to follow this along super awesome work! Ive got the front and rear coil kits sitting in the garage waiting for the money tree as well ha

Alright, the numbers are in. I’m a little frustrated because they used the specs for the FJ60 instead of the FZJ80 after I told them at least 5 times to use the specs for the 80 series. Not a huge deal except for the fact that they took my toe...

Once the old axle is out, the old mounts need to be removed. These include: Shock Mounts Leaf Spring Mounts (only the rearward ones need to be removed) Transmission Cross Member Mounts (depending on your year). If you have a later 60 series...

A few years back, I was lucky enough to partner with @torfab to help create an 80 series front axle conversion kit for the FJ60/62. Ever since, I’ve been excited about installing the kit on my own truck (it took me awhile to convince my wife we...
