suspension

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...

Suspension gurus- I was given 4 free skyjacker shocks, P/N: N8012- compressed 12” extended 19.32” N8041- compressed 15.55” extended 26.33” Both are eye-eye connections so I know I’ll have to use an adapter top and bottom for the front and top for the rear. Shocks are intended for use on...

Piggers A few weeks ago I purchased the 55-specific suspension kit from Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters. The kit is comprised of Old Man Emu spring packs and shocks, along with goodies such as anti-inversion grease-able shackles and bushings. Good stuff. The kit requires moving the rear hanger back...

My front suspension and steering have started getting really squeaky. Took it to Toyota dealership and their diagnosis was that upper and lower control arms and ball joints all need replacing. They quoted me $4k for the work. Local shop will do the lot for $1.2k but with ISG (international...

Hey Guys, I just put 35” KO2’s on my 2011, and am getting some noticeable rubbing, especially when turning right. I took it to my mechanic and he told me that I’m getting some serious rubbing on the sway bar bracket, especially on the driver’s side. He suggested that maybe there is an...

I may have to trade my beloved '93 for something with fewer miles on it for, ah, relationship reasons. I found this: Lexus LX 470 I'm completely new to the 100 series, so I'd like some advice particular to this vehicle. I've read all the threads here and on Slee on general 100 info, but it...

I have this new [2004] 100 series. Did all the easy stuff (Subwoofer, AC line cap, heater T's, fluid changes etc..) I have 31's and 18 inch rims and next to a stock 100, I can see I have more wheel well clearance than the stock set up. I have been cleaning rust off the undercarriage for...

Hi! I have an '93 80 series with an ARB Deluxe bull bar everything else is stock. I need a winch not so much for recovery right now but for pulling brush and pulling roots out of the ground. Could I change out just the front shocks with these FOX shocks: 1989-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Fox 2.0...

Current set up - OME J-Springs & L-Shocks, Slee bumper / Winch, Dual battery, Cooper 35s, 4X4 Labs rear. Looking at spring and shock options. Considering Slee shocks with medium 4" springs. Also looking at a few other options but Slee option seems pretty cost-efficient relative to other...

Selling 1 height control motor and pump And 2 accumulator control globes . Make me an offer but I'm trying to get $300 for the globes and $400 for the pump .

Pardon everyone for posting this on the Compiled Suspension spec thread earlier. I recently picked up a set of King 2.5 resi adjustable shocks for 0-2" lift for my 80 as well as 2.5" caster plates from Wits' End and new OEM bushings for the control arms. I'm on OME medium springs (~ 2.5" lift)...

Hey all, I'm looking at getting a lift at some point for the cruiser. Nothing crazy, just a normal lift to get a bit more clearance, replace old springs/shocks, and hopefully improve ride quality a bit. I've found plenty of threads to read about all the various options out there, but i feel...

Hi everyone So I have a 99 LX wirh around 210k on the clock. It hasn't been off-road much and is in pretty great condition overall. Of course the suspension on these things is meant to drop out (no pun) around this time, and a lot of people seem to preemptively replace with aftermarket...

We had to take a long road trip this weekend (about 1500 miles total). On the way out I felt like my steering wasn't true - it seemed responsive but almost like it was wandering a bit - like I envision it would feel if your toe was set to 0 degrees on both wheels and the steering wasn't sure...

I have been looking into upgrading my stock suspension to something more robust and with better ride quality. I plan on using my Land cruiser to be an all around capable vehicle. Looking for a suspension system that will be comfortable going quick down dirt roads and allows plenty of travel/flex...

Working on a 67' fj40 with a stock suspension and stock brake drums all the way around. I currently have 235/85r16 rubbers on it. And some 16in steel wagon wheel rims. I am wondering what rims fit on my cruiser pertaining to the offset numbers. I am leaning towards the American racing outlaw II...

I know this has been covered many times but I just wanted to get current opinions on where I ended up with my suspension decision. I'm currently at just under 100k on my 08 200 and am finally ready to upgrade from the stock suspension. I have young kids so most almost all of my offroad...

Gents, My LC100 from 2000 with approx 170.000 km is now sitting permanently on LOW in the rear. The high adjustments works fine for the front, can go from from L,N,H with no probs. Just that the rear keeps sitting on low. What I don't get, is that the dashboard indicator stops blinking after...

Posted on wrong forum, cannot delete the thread so please any admin remove this post/thread. Thanks. --------

I have some random parts that I ended up acquiring or not using on my build. Prefer to trade for other land cruiser parts or sell for cash. - Brand new set of Iron Man 4x4 6" Springs (front and rear). You can finally clear those 37-40" tires you always wanted :) - 450 - Two sets of Ironman...
