Lot of debate on the forum about the best mounts. Another option from TPI4x4 (coolerman from ih8mud?): https://tpi4x4.com/product/fj40-body-mount-23mm/ https://tpi4x4.com/product/fj40-cowling-mount-36mm/ Though sor's website lists the energy suspension bushings as softer that oem. I'd assume...

Do you still have stock of PN 44758-30040, the vacuum check valve bracket?

Your 40 was night and day after the swap? Just wondering if i will be able to notice a difference.

Has anyone noticed a difference in terms of a soft ride after replacing their factory mounts?

Quick poll, how many peoe have been smacked in the head by that door?

Does thay seat frame allow the drivers seat to move back further than the stock seat track?

I like this approach because it keeps the old chrome strut bodies.

Try turning the front leaf springs around.

Is the front leaf spring pin offset/ if you flip the springs will it center the shock? Also, what are the part numbers for that U-bolt kit?

What year is your FJ40? Do you have pictures of them installed?

Is that shock angle at full droop or at curb weight with the tires on?

It is 15 mm pin for the pre-1981 FJ40s.

Does anyone know if they run a 15 mm diameter leaf spring pin on their 1960 to 1980 FJ40 Lesf spring pin (vs the 1981-1984 18 mm pin)? I called them and they didn't know.

I need to take some measurements but I think this looks like a promising potential rebuild kit for the tandem/ dual diaphragm 1976-1980 booster: https://www.powerbrakebooster.com/product-page/bendix-gen-2-rebuild-kit-8-5-double
