I just got a Dobinsons 2" lift Leaf kit and I am not understanding the difference on the anti-inversion shackles. I reached out to Dobinson's and their answer still left me scratching my head.
They supply 2 pairs of shackles - each pair with a different product code (047 & 048).
I reached out...
I have a set of complete FJ40 axles assemblies from my 1969. Springs and long shackles included. Drum brakes all four corners.
Axles spin freely.
No lockers.
Tires not included.
$400 for the pair.
I put on the OME light lift (ARB/OME Lift Kit - 2" Light Load w/ Shackle and Pins FJ60, FJ62 1985-1990 - https://cruisercorps.com/products/arb-ome-fj60-fj62-lift-kit-2-light-load-w-shackle-and-pins) and after enough time for it to settle I'm still looking for a way to fix the stance. It seems my...
Ordered and received a pair of Mark's Double Duty Shackles (part# 130-DD02). Gonna go with something a bit smaller. They are brand new - never installed. $80 plus shipping. They weigh @ 5 llbs each. Again, $80 PLUS shipping.
Selling front and rear OME anti-inversion shackles. Installed on my vehicle for 18 months, 500 miles, before lowering my FJ40 back to original ride height. Asking $200.00 plus buyer pays for shipping.
2 shackles. 3/8 thick plates. 4-13/16 between pin centers.
Dont recall how long these were installed. Really just cad plate worn off where they contact the bushings. All hardware included
$50 plus shipping.
New bushings and hanger pins with bushings, take-off / driver quality stock shackles for front and rear. Ended up with SOR shackles instead. Hanger pins are from FJParts, bushings are Moog but are stamped with the OEM P/N and are made in Japan. FJ62. $250 for everything plus the ride.
Used these for about 1.5 years, just replaced the suspension as a kit so I ended up with an extra set. Everything works fine and the hardware is all there. I also have rubber bushings from cruiser outfitters that were put on at the same time. Not perfect, but still usable. Asking 100 + shipping...
After a painful process that took much longer than expected (that never happens) we finally replaced the shackles on our 1967 FJ40 with a 2.5 inch lift. Now that I know how to do it I though I would share the process that we used. Much of what we did came from various contributors on this...
Aloha everyone,
My tRusted 86' 60 has finally reached the next maintenance marker however I don't have much experience with suspension. Im looking to do a basic but worthwhile fix. I have a few questions- If this hanger was to detach at speed how messy would it be--say at 45mph? Silly...
I purchased some greaseable HFS shackles from CCOT. In their description they state they fit my year.
They bolted on fine, however there is a small gap between the shackle and the bushing. In their description it advises not to over tighten to fit. I am wondering if this is what they are...
Recently bought hj60 and the rear springs were so saggy I know I had to do something to them to get the car tested/mot/whatsoever. Found a used ome kit locally in ok condition and bought it.
Now when I havent yet installed the springs to the car I thought it might be a good time to do a small...

Don't tell me to go to SOR as they fxxxed me by sending me pins and shackles that We're a larger size AFTER I told them my bushings and...
