100 series heavy duty springs

[re_guderian]

I have another question, if I put only the 865 springs will that be too much a stretch for the stock shocks? I'd love to just get them on there, then next purchase some new shocks.

You'll be fine. If you look carefully during your install, you'll see that OEM Toyota springs are actually longer uncompressed than the 865's. What that means is that the OME 865's achieve their "lift" simply by being a stiffer spring and compressing less for a given weight as compared to the OE springs. Great for carrying a little bit of extra weight. Also, when extended the OME rear shocks are less than an inch taller than the Toyota ones. Short answer, you'll be just fine... ;p

Anyone tell me who owns this one? http://www.amoney.org/images/land_cruiser/sliders/ADL_2871.jpg
Looking for lift size, tire size? Thanks, Mike

Man does that make me happy! Thanks for all the help man! I'm getting those springs on ASAP. I'll post pics when I do.

Any tips on installation of the coil springs?

Remove shocks and sway bar. Watch your brake lines. The diff breather needs to come off as well.

I'm not sure about that man. I've seen it around Ih8mud though.. May just have to keep searching. Looks like a small lift, maybe 1.5 or so.

Installed the OME 865 springs. Love the lift, and stiffness. Now, I just have to crank on the torsion bars to get it to level. Thanks for all the help guys. I love this landcruiser!
