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...
FJ60/62 Old Man Emu Heavy Duty Leaf Springs in good shape. Bushings have less than 1k miles on them. Somewhere between a 2.5”-3” lift. Great for budget build.
These came off my 1985 FJ60. I just wanted new ones since I needed to re weld my spring perches. I’m guessing these are about 15-18...
just tried to install my add a leaf to my 2020 trd off road. got it all apart and realized the spring pin is offset by about 2 inches. fits fine on the front portion of spring but will hit clamp surrounding spring on the rear portion. called deaver and they suggested spring is designed to fit...
I picked up an 83 pickup this last weekend and it has some lift springs on the front that I am trying to figure out what they are. If anyone knows what this is I would appreciate the info!
Hello all I am in need of a leaf spring and a pair of shocks for my trailer, I took it off-road a bit too much and broke the leaf as I did more rock crawling then I anticipated. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement for both or maybe someone has a spare etc.. lmk thanks
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).

Truck felt soft and bouncy this am after some forest service road exploring at week. A quick peek underneath shows both bottom shock mounts swinging freely. Looks like the welded female sleeve broke off the leaf spring bracket on both.
Suggestions on replacement or fix? I found some used...
I installed new leak springs as well as front and rear shocks and tie rod ends today and all I can say is wow! Its like driving a new car. Im loving this thing more and more all the time 😎🌊🏞️
Changing out the front spring bushings on my 2007-ish Old Man Emu Dakar springs on my 5/84 FJ60. This is a Medium kit (springs, shackles, shocks, etc.) purchased from MAF before I was cool and knew about @cruiseroutfit
I added 4Plus U-Bolt Flip front and rear later on. CS004F in the front...
I need a 1973 fj40 u bolt spring plate. One of mine is bent. It could probably be heated and straightened. I would like to see if I can find one reasonably priced. Thanks.
Yes I know, many threads exist but most all I find are in regard to inches of spring settle, and not how that relates to the shackle angle. A loaded question I realize but just wondering if anyone had kept track of this during and after their build. Obviously it would vary with different...
So i was cleaning out my engine bay getting the frame ready for doing some welding and i noticed one of my leaf springs had a diamond logo on it. upon closer inspection i found that there were 3 in a manner that looks strikingly similar to the Mitsubishi logo. if this is something well know my...
Hi i am in australia and have a 1985 bj70 with leave springs all around.
i want to buy a 2 inch lift kit for it but the problem is not many people have a listing of the vehicle as its quite rare in australia.
so after abit of research people say that you use bj60 rear leaves and hzj75 front...
Doing a resto on a '66 and hoping someone who's done a lift still has their OEM springs lying around that I can paint and use. I'm in central North Carolina.
Know where I can find Leaf spring perches for a 93-97 landcruiser rear axle.
I plan on swapping a full float onto my mini truck for a camper platform.
thoughts, I want your 2c.
