suspension

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...

Well, it didn't take me long to bend some IFS parts on my '93 4Runner. That massive tree root came out of no where I swear! At first I figured I tweaked my steering really good, but upon further inspection the top of my passenger side tire is now about 1/2" closer to the body then the driver...

My rear shocks are done for. I am not 100% sure what kind/size of lift I have. Can someone help me out with this project? Bought the truck in 2014 and it was already lifted. I do not trust that the last owner had the right shock size and simply just pulling the old ones off and replacing with...

HOW DO I REMOVE? Every thing else has come apart farely easy. Do I just need more mass X velocity? The picture is the front passenger spring

I was about to buy a set of Bilstein 5100 for 2.5" lifted Landcruiser 105 (an 80 chassis with a 100 body basically). Then I stumbled upon Boss Shock Absorbers, but I have never heard of them before. They are 12 position adjustable and available in all combinations of lengths with...

Hi , I have a 2005 LX470 with about 79k on the clock. It's only had the basics done to it since 2012, so its not in the best shape. Today I noticed that the suspension fluid level was a decent amount below the minimum line. I read the manual and follow the steps to lower than raise the truck in...

So I have searched the heck out of the old threads and havent found an exact answer to my problem. My rear left shock has disconnected form my 1981 BJ60. I went and got the listed bolt etc and it does not fit. It seems that the pipe or pin must be broken because I can't see a way to attack...

My wife has been driving a stock 2002 LC, but it's time for me to take it over and start making some off road modifications. It needs some new suspension so I'm trying to decide on 1.5" or 2.5" susp kit. Any suggestions?

I searched the forums and didn't see anyone with this issue on an 80 series. The shocks (Bilstein) and springs (OME) are brand new, but I never noticed any lean with OEM shocks/springs. Any ideas what the issue could be or how I could correct it?
