front axle center to wheel arch is 21", rear is 24"

for what it's worth, the distance from the bottom of the fender to the top of the tire is 3" different between the front and rear on my KZJ71 with the OME L/M kit installed. My KZJ71 has 15" tires/rims, I think most KZJxx have 16" tires. I'd like my rear springs to be 3" lower, making it the...

The light/medium OME kit on my 93 KZJ71 does have a difference between the front and rear, just as you describe. The same is true of the Kitsu project from what I can tell looking at the before/after pics. Link below, sorry I spelled "Kitsu" wrong. I was not real happy with the difference in...

OME 2872 Front Springs - Medium Load OME Nitrocharger 60089 Front Shocks OME 2873 Rear Springs - Medium Load OME Nitrocharger 60090 Rear Shocks also the steering damper

yes, here's a link to the kit. http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/sus_lj7series.html if you look at the Kitzu project on this forum, he also lists the exact part#s in this kit. It is the light/medium kit not the heavy kit. hope this helps. 70/71/73 Series Prado - Light/Medium/Heavy Duty Kit...

for what it's worth, I have a 1993 KZJ71. The suspension was also shot. I installed the Ironman springs and shocks. Ride improved dramatically but I found they gave the KZJ71 too much lift for my purposes. So I pulled them off and went with OME springs/shocks/damper from Cruiser Outfitters...

Thanks for replying. I just missed out on a guy (gilmorneau) who had two sets of these OEM 16" wheels. Are they the "16x6JJ 0" type? Perhaps a picture would help. I have 15" on my KZJ71, need new tires so I thought I'd move up to 16". I'm very interested.

Prefer OEM if possible

It gave my KZJ71 more lift than I wanted. I'd say it was 3" lift, I was looking for as little lift as possible. Stock height was fine with me but original suspension was shot. So, I switched to OME 70 series light kit. As far as ride is concerned, the Ironman suspension was just fine...

Front shocks (12696GR), rear shocks (12697GR), front coil springs (TOY048B), rear coil springs (TOY049B). Bought Jan. of 2021, used 100 miles. $500. In Wisconsin but willing to ship.

thanks so much, that does help. From hub center to bottom of front fender I currently have 23", nearly 24.5 in the rear. And your measurements were with medium springs front and rear? I too have removed the rear seats and have no load at present. Out of curiosity, what are you running for...

I've ordered the Cruiser Outfitter's medium suspension kit but the front springs and shocks are backordered till mid-March. While I wait, I'd like to see what your ride height looks like with the medium load package installed. With the medium springs in the front and the heavy springs in the...

Thanks much, I'll call them. Did you also install the steering damper?

I bought a 1993 KZJ71, SX, 3.0 in October of 2020. Looks exactly the same as yours, has similar problems. I'd really appreciate a discussion on any topic about this car but your suspension work interests me the most. I purchased Ironman springs and shocks, once installed the ride improved...
