    How much does leaf spring length matter?

    I've been going back and forth on what leaf springs to use for my fj40 build. Its currently set up with a SOA and I'm split with what springs to use. I have a set of Rubicon Express re1445 that are around 45.5 inches long with a centered pin, brand new. I originally wanted to go with fj60 rear...

    Dobinsons spring - twisted?

    A few weeks ago I was inspecting my front suspension and noticed the passenger front shackle was leaning outward toward the wheel a little. This was right about the same time I discovered the rear spring eyes (of the front springs) are contacting the rear hanger (see this post). Mike suggested...

    RTH: Mayday.

    I'm just outside of Sandpoint. I've broken a rear leaf spring in my 1985 4R. Is there a shop in/near Sandpoint that can help? I'm in the process of nursing the truck to pavement where I will call a towtruck. Plan is to get me and the truck to a motel so I can deal with this tomorrow. Thanks.

    Leaf Spring Removal Opinion

    Just started to remove my rear leaf springs so to remove a leaf or two in order to help soften ride a bit. I was planning to remove the 3rd leaf down from top only but now that I have the lower leaf's removed, wondering if I should also remove the 5th leaf down (see photo below). Additional...

    75 series front diff

    Just wondering how I can move my front diff forward on my 75 series. I have 2 inch leafs and 2 inch extended shackles and my front diff is closer to the rear or my front guards. Can I flip my front leaf springs around so the longer end is at the back?

    Leaf spring eye / loose bushing sleeve

    Recently noticed an issue with the front right leaf spring eye. Notice the gap between the bushing and the spring and how the spring eye has eroded the bushing on the left in the photo. I've determined that the spring can slide laterally over the inner steel tube sleeve that the rubber...

    When to add a leaf on OME suspension

    So this weekend I finally mounted a Warn M12000, still need to wire it in, but it’s to cold for that nonsense. Anyway, I was looking at the suspension, when I was under the cruiser searching for the washer I dropped, and it doesn’t seem like I have much room for travel upward. Currently have an...

    NOTICE: Ironman rear suspension

    This is an FYI to anyone with an 89-95 US-spec 4x4 pickup. Many of the rear suspension products that @Ironman 4x4 USA have specified on their website for these trucks do NOT fit. The part numbers are below: The u-bolts are about 1/2-3/4” too narrow to work with the factory lower plates that...

    Weird axle swap

    ‘Mud, I have a 1977 FJ40 and I have axles from a 1993 FZJ80. I plan to swap the 80 axles under the 40. I want to go SUA, yes SUA not SOA. I plan getting custom made Alcan Springs. What problems could I run into? Complications with brakes, e-locker wiring, different driveshaft flanges, etc...

    HJ47 Troopy bent leaf spring plate and U-Bolts

    G'day All, I recently got my rear leaf springs for the Troopy resprung. When reinstalling them I found that the leaf spring seats are slightly bent upwards which causes the u-bolts to bend outwards when tightened to the correct tension. I haven't been able to source any new leaf spring seats...
