I just installed Skyjacker's 4 in lift springs to my '79 FJ40, at first I was using Rancho 5000 shocks and the ride was horrible! .. it was so harsh and stiff! .. at first I thought the springs were very hard for the truck. then I decided to get a set of Bilstien 5100 series shocks instead, and...
Hey Mud,
I am going to be converting the wife's 06 LC from AHC to standard suspension over the winter.
Plan is to net about a 2.5" lift. While looking at the order options for King Shocks, it give me an option for custom length for lifted vehicles.
Do I need to custom spec them longer or are...
Two shops, two different opinions. Attached are pics. 07LX with dark drivers side shocks that appear to maybe have been leaking but no fluid noticed. Passenger side looks normal.
Are there looking like they were leaking or just a different shade? Ride feels normal.
Looking to sell two rear Ironman foam cell pro shocks and older medium ironman springs.
Shocks have about 1000 miles on them. I bought them and shortly after Ironman ran a sale on a full lift kit so I ended up buying that and these have been laying around my garage.
The springs are older...
Ok so a sort of newbie thing but something I've never completely understood. How do you determine what size/spec shocks to get?
I have Lovells medium rate springs giving me about a 3.5 inch lift. I currently run Icon 1.0 shocks that are rated for up to 3 inch lift. That *should* be compatible...
Ohlins is debuting a larger damper that I expect will excite many. Applications ATM are for Tacoma and Bronco, but they do show off larger universal units which could be custom built… and enough interest will generate more applications.
In excellent condition, used for about 600 miles. Great shocks, got my hands on Kings so these are up for sale. Originally had OME when I first got my rig, these were much better.
$825
Might have been here (?) that it was mentioned about seeing if the shocks on my 80 (7 yr old Icon 1.0's) are flogged out as part of sorting the front-end clanging/banging when traverseing bumps/holes/etc. in roads.
I've never actually contemplated shocks 'going bad' but heck they're mechnical...
Last year I researched my shocks to put all the way around both my Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series and my First Generation Toyota Sequoia. I thought I did due diligence and chose Bilstein 4600s for the Land Cruiser and rear end of the Sequoia, and 5100s for the Sequoia front end. They made an...
I picked up a cheap 1991 80 series and I was getting around to replacing all the shocks with the Tokico ones. The fronts were easy but the rears are giving me some difficulties where it has a bit more rust.
I can't seem to get the bottom bolt out and I may have made it worse. A 17mm socket...
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...

I recently purchased a 79 fj40. The po installed hfs 4” lift springs with 4” hfs shackles. He also reversed the front springs. It had no shocks. CCOT no longer sells the shocks that went with this package. I want to install Bilstein 5100 series shocks but do not know which ones to get. Does...
