‘74 FJ40
A few years ago I wanted to redo the suspension and add a little lift to my 74. A friend had his done by Brian at BTB in ‘97, back when they were still in San Jose. I convinced myself I wanted the same setup: reverse shackles, spring over, Rancho RS 9000’s, etc. I had the work completed, and I couldn’t be more bummed. Worst mistake! Ride is terrible and has zero flex.
Any suggestions on best setup to revert back to something that actually rides nice and has at least some articulation? I’ve looked into OME and Bilstein setups; both have good reviews. Not going for a rock warrior, mainly weekend fire roads with the kids and beach trips.
thanx
