how about the part number on that upper hose? I'm doing a swap myself.

Mine were packaged as National bearings but they have KOYO stamped on them and R139B.

I have the old bearings and they do not fit on the race either. Bearing and race were in the same box and I believe the race was inserted into the bearing when I opened the box. Have a request with bearing MFR for the min/max shaft diameter required for the inner race. With that information I...

Problem is the same on both sides.

So i tore down my axle to blast, paint and replace bearings and seals, It is a 72 non floater axle. Installed new KOYO bearings and after the inner races were pressed onto the axle shafts the bearings no longer fit over the inner race on the axle. If anyone has run into this and has a solution...

I'm going to add flares.

dgangle, do you remember what brand springs and where you got them? I like the way yours sits.

Thanks for the advice. I will probably replace the springs with a 4" lift anyway since I don't know what I have and move the bump stops. The build is for my wife so it will likely never see much off roading.

It doesn't have a body lift now, first thing I removed. I've replaced pretty much all the sheet metal except for the cowl. Just now getting to mock up all the drive train.

The front spring has about 3 1/2" of arch and the rear spring about4 3/4-5".

I will try to take some tonight and post tomorrow.

I have a 72 fj40 project that I've had for about four years. Things have gotten in the way but looks like I am finally getting back on it. It appears to have some lift with a front shackle reversal but I have no idea how much lift it is. If anyone has a known lift on their 40 that wouldnt mind...

Thanks guys. The search continues!

Looks like a 76 and later.
