suspension

Guys I am in the process of buying myself a LX470. The dealership is far away so I am requesting pic from the dealer. Here are the main pics the dealer posted. Lone Star Auto Depot | Pre-owned Dealer | Round Rock, Texas Looks to be a decent vehicle for the price... I did ask the dealer guy to...

So I recently purchased a 89 FJ62 and had two questions that I needed some guidance on. 1.) The previous owner added a SOA lift on the truck but had blown shocks and failed to re-add the sway bars. My question is, what's the good/bad of just adding new factory shocks to the old mounting...

My 97 LC is coming up on 249k miles and going strong. Previous owner added OME “stock height” lift with Tokico shocks, 10mm spring spacers, new steering stabilizer which at this point was a little under 20k ago. Past some bigger tires and maybe a 1" body lift to accommodate said bigger tires...

I'm getting close to my wits end here and I need the bright lights of the forum to steer me true. AND- before you ask, yes, I have called/emailed Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. They only deal in OME stuff now so can't really help beyond advice, which was of course very helpful. I have an '84 FJ60...

my 2000 lc is somewhat unstable at higher (50+) speed - I have to kind of constantly correct the steering. Not terrible but annoying especially when going through a narrow passage at higher speed. I had the wheels aligned 1500 miles or so ago. Is this a known issue? What could it be? I think I...

Just noticed today that the cruiser looks tilted towards the driver side when standing on a flat road. Any guesses on what might be the issue? I checked with a flashlight on the shocks but nothing seems off. I also measured the distance between the top of the front tire and the bottom of the...

I have a LX470 with 187k. 1 day it is doing great and today I get in it the right front suspension is sagging and the traction control is making the rig ride like it has full lockers (thinking chirping tires and jerking while turning) Is the traction control issue caused by the suspension issue...

Long time lurker, first time poster. Purchased a 2002 LC with 180,000mi (stock, no upgrades) in December and it's been running great after a few long ski trips and 5+ off roading adventures around AZ. Something I noticed after my last off roading trip is that the front drivers side is 1" lower...

Looking at doing a SAS with an FJ80 Axle i just purchased and would like to keep it super simple and just use the stock suspension setup from the FJ80s...anyone link their 80 and have those arms just lying around....?

Who's running their complete suspension kit? iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/complete-suspension-systems/713-1991-1997-toyota-land-cruiser-80series-3-suspension-system-stage1.html -What are your impressions of it? -How is the ride quality compared to stock or other spring/ shock combos you've...

I'm installing OME SB30 bushings, leaf springs and shackles on my 1977 FJ40. The shackle instructions state to "install OME polyurethane bushes (greased) in hanger and spring eyes". The bushing instructions state to "grease all bush surfaces which are designed to pivot(ie internal bore and...

Hey guys I'm about to put a Dobinsons 4" kit and Nitto 35x12.5" Trail Grapplers on my KZJ78. I'm having trouble figuring out what wheel specs I need to minimize trimming keep from having to run spacers. I'm ok with things sitting a tad outside the flares, and I prefer a wider track. The main...

I've busted both rear leafs in my 1985 bj70. Looking for replacements or whatever info I can find on whether to upgrade or go with stock. Also, I have no idea what to expect to pay for new leafs and shipping considering I'm in British Columbia Canada. Any info on the matter is greatly...

2 11inch limiting straps. Purchased for a trailer project and ended up needing longer straps. Paid $45 on Amazon. Asking $35, including shipping. Rockwall, TX (USA)

Hey guys, I just installed a new lift, springs, and UCA's over the last couple of days. Finally put it down on the ground, and I have crazy positive camber on the front tires....they literally look like this \ /. How do i adjust for this? Is the UCA bolt orientation? Is it the torsion bars...

I've been an FJ62 owner for the past 4-5 years and I recently bought an FJ40. I quickly realized that I've ventured into a whole new world. First task at hand is the suspension. I am a mechanical novice so please be gentle. My 40 sits uneven with the front being higher than the back. I'd...

A thread on the 100s forum got me thinking/reading about this again..that and my sudden fixation on gear weight as I load for an Overland Expo road trip. We know that the LC lends itself to upgrading the suspension to increase carrying capacity beyond 1200-1300lbs or so vs the LX use or replace...

So my Cruiser rides really rough. I understand its not going to ride like a Cadillac, but I have to imagine it could be better. I'm guessing it has a 2" lift, but I haven't tried to verify that. There are no discernible markings on the springs. The shocks are Rancho 5113 in front and 5116 in...

Collective genius at IH8Mud, I recently bought my first Cruiser, an 83 FJ60, bone stock, doors and top removed, roll bar added, 150K miles. Found it on CL, flew out to IL, and drove it home to UT. The 1800 mile trip was awesome. It ran fine, pretty gutless, averaged 11 mpg, would get hot...
