    Leaf Springs intall

    I just installed new Leaf Springs on a 1986 FJ60. I did not put this plate on the top and the rubber on the bottom when I installed new springs. Should I have done this. Or dose it matter if I don't do this. The springs are old man emu.

    How to align suspension U bolts with bottom plate?

    I'm installing an OME heavy on my FJ62. Rust isn't an issue and everything came off ok. Got the leaf spring shackles and pins in and tightened down, but when I use the jack to compress the spring to line up the bottom plate to the U bolts, they are off. I was able to get one side to go through...

    Rough Country Lift Issues

    On my 11/69 FJ40 the PO installed a 4" Rough Country lift when he swapped in rebuilt axles out of a 77. I knew this was a cheapo lift and the shackle angles were off when I purchased it but the springs still had the stickers on them so I figured they would soften up a bit. I was just happy to...

    New suspension conundrum

    I'm getting close to my wits end here and I need the bright lights of the forum to steer me true. AND- before you ask, yes, I have called/emailed Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. They only deal in OME stuff now so can't really help beyond advice, which was of course very helpful. I have an '84 FJ60...

    Thoughts on rebuilding leaf springs?

    I purchased a Fj60 with a pretty decent lift set up (OME Dakar ~ 3" mediums) with anti-inversion shackles. I think I will need to get new shocks and steering stabilizer as well as bushings. My stock Fj60 springs are stock height (already have load springs) but I'd like to get rid of them. Does...

    Time to Re-Arch My Springs

    Well well, enough of my family caught on that I'm a cruiser addict and they've all pitched in to help get my stock springs re-arched (1989 FJ62). I could use some help in determining what the proper ride height should be (i.e. just how much the shop should bend 'em). I plan to run 32" tires...
