suspension

My wife had a 2004 LX 460 that was beginning to show its age and she wanted an upgrade. While she wanted more luxury and less squeaks, I still wanted that Land Cruiser, Go anywhere heritage. We settled on a 2016 GX 460. She loves it, but didn't like the "Soccer Mom" vibe and I wanted more...

I recently added a 2-inch lift (Ironman) to my 2016 cruiser. It now appears that the kdss is no longer working as can be seen in the photo. I had had some problems with the kdss and had it refilled a short while ago. What can I do to correct the problem?

Hi all. I’ve read every article and thread on here related to suspension lifts but let’s face it, it’s a lot like reading instructions for dealing with labor and giving birth -they all target the same thing. Success and safety which obviously is very important and top priority. I’m doing a lot...

Hey there! With some guidance from users here and a friend, I was able to diag my AHC system and found the culprit. It’s one of the hoses that comes out of the shock. One of the users on here “MycoManiac” made a very nice offer and idea of sending one of his used take offs. But just in case he...

Hey y’all! Lurker and first time poster in need of some help, so thanks in advance! I purposely went it to a ditch with what looked like a nice little bump and my intention was to test out my new to me 100 series suspension! But instead I leaked out all of my fluid through the front drivers...

hi all! i recently got my hands on my third 40 and she's a wobbly old girl. i live in bulgaria where i think that between myself and two, maybe three others, we own all the 40's in the country. i'd like to sort out the suspension in a way that is the best job i can do and that improves the...

Recently noticed an issue with the front right leaf spring eye. Notice the gap between the bushing and the spring and how the spring eye has eroded the bushing on the left in the photo. I've determined that the spring can slide laterally over the inner steel tube sleeve that the rubber...

Hi all, I am glad to be here. I am restoring a 73 FJ 40 and I have a question about suspension. If I instal just the EMU shocks and damper will that give me any lift on the truck? Or do I also have to install new springs and shackles? What are the advantages and disadvantages of going either...

I need some help. I just purchased my first Land Cruiser this week and after getting it home noticed the sway bar wasn’t connected. At first I assumed the first owner just wanted more off-road articulation as the truck had quite a bit of off road mods to it. After fussing with it for a while I...

So it's not really a money thing as I figure the difference is probably $400-500, but that does come into play a little as my to-do list of stuff grows. I'd like to get thoughts on the direction between the 2 above (or another idea I may not have thought of) It won't be wheeled. Maybe at some...

So I bought an extra set of OME front coil springs for my 80 series. I thought my front end was sitting too low but when I replaced the springs, nothing changed. I ended up adding spacers to get the level look I wanted and as a result have an extra set. These are like new but were the older...

Complete AHC system from LX470 with 110, 000 Miles. One line had to be cut, the rest are there and one of the front shocks was leaking when removed. All other components functioned as they should at time of removal. Below is a list of parts available: Will cut a deal if someone is interested...

Hey everyone, my truck is a California vehicle but was kept in the foothills for most of its life. The body is perfect, not a speck of corrosion but underneath has more rust than ive seen on a cruiser, im trying to figure out if this i going to cause problems for me down the road or if its just...

Hi! I am looking for a bumper to fit an 86 Toyota Land Cruiser. If anyone is selling, please let me know. Also to find a suspension kit for the cruiser and I can’t a kit anywhere. If anyone knows if someone, let me know! Thank you!

I have a 2013 LX570. One of the hydraulic lines on the AHC system burst with just 86,500 miles on the odometer. The dealer says this was due to rust and corrosion. To replace the line I was told that the body must come off the frame. Additionally they can not say if other parts need to be...

Hello! I am new to the forum. Just wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone would be able to provide any help with my suspension. I inherited my Dad's 1975 FJ40. Her name is Midori. The FJ is in pretty good shape. I used to work on it with him, but never touched the suspension before. Please...

I'm looking at replacing my springs and shocks on '84 FJ60. Some have suggested Ironman Performance kit - $1450 with 2" lift (0-440LBS). I've also read about OME Ultimate Kit from the fellas at cruiser outfitters. $1865. Seems legit. I run Bilstein on my 07' Fj Cruiser and love them. I'd...
