    Shock madness

    Typical 850/860 30mm front spacer fzj80 on 315’s. I have the normal Ome shocks. Plan has been to put L’s Atleast in the front. Did usery pass to Apache junction sat. And the lack of travel was annoying. I’m open open. The type of lines I’m used to trying seemed to just pick a tire up and spin...

    Well made shock install video may need some refinements.

    I thought you needed kdss spacers to lift more than 2 inches? Maybe a link to those or anything else that may need a tweak as far as proper procedure.

    OEM front shock absorber

    Well, I'm unhappy. I bought these last year for one of my 80's and should have bought them for all three. NLA I think Tokico was the OEM supplier. They are still selling them. Can anyone confirm that this was the OEM supplier? @OGBeno

    Question about best shock replacement on HZJ78

    As stated, I have a 2003 HZJ78 with tired Dobinsons on a 2" (50mm) lift. I don't know what model or size the Dobinsons are.
