In this case I would almost be sure to say it would just be a caster change. Being such a mild lift I'm not going to worry about driveline angle. With the caster change your Cruiser will tend to wander. Hope this helps.

Info on Ironman for FJ62
Got an email back from Ironman and the the Toy006B set is ok without any accessories for the FJ62. Otherwise you need the Toy006C's up front and the B's out back. I am waiting to see if its just a matter of another spring in the pack or different springs all together.

I just found out today that I have a 4.5" lift on my cruiser. It consists of Man-a-fre safari springs +2.5", man-a-fre extended shackles +2", extended sway bar links, nitro 9000 shocks, and OME steering damper. The setup works great! The only thing I don't like is the poly bushings because I have to be constantly lubricating them, if I don't they start making cracking noises
. I could easily fit 35" tires. I currently have 33" tires. I have no driveline problems(at least that I know of.) I am gunna see if I can test it on a flex ramp this week.

I just recieved mine
I ordered it on a Thursday and had it on Monday although it only shipped from MI to OH. I only need to figure out if I need the shims up front. I did opt for the greesable shackles that seem to be higher quality than what I had expected. I will post some pix of before and after when I put this lift on. I will say that Fed Ex beat the piss out of one spring set but all parts arrived.

Rockyklg,
Looks good. Did you run into any problems? What size shackles did you put on the front/rear? Tire size?

alpen,
only problems were breaking some of the old u-bolt nuts... 1/2 ratchet with 4 foot breaker bar for a turn or two before hte impact could get them. a fews of the pins and shackle bolts were frozen in the bushings. a 4 pound slegde, pry bar and a torch made that easier. uhh dont tighten one sides u bolts before getting the other side together. front ubolts were a little wide, had to squeeze them with big channel locks to get them in the holes for the bottom plate. other than that it wasnt too bad. was very glad to have new pins and shackles.
both the shackles and the pins are from ccot, the shackles are 1.5" longer than stock.
tires are 32 11.5 bfg mts, stock wheels. good for all around( better off road and highway speeds but prob not mileage).
oh and the kit came with front sway bar extenders. i just disconnected it.
must say i am like the ass high look and since i load my truck alot it helps prevent the sagging ass look that i hate.

Paid for mine on Friday, July 7th after normal working hours and received it 3 working days later (Wednesday) in Oklahoma. It all looks good but I won't be installing it for a little while. Still have the engine out of the 60.

Type in "FJ60 Lift" in search, with all categories selected. Scroll all the way down in the stores. You should see them.
got a call from the shipper and the 310lb pallet of goodness will be delivered tomorrow. ordered last week and here the next - i'm impressed with the seller for sure.
not having a place or tools to do myself, i'll need to line up a resource to install. anyone in SF looking for a little weekend fun? i'll bring beer in the fridge. :]
aside, i'm kicking around the idea of removing one of the leaves from each rear springpack to reduce the ass-highness. i don't do towing or loading up of considerable weight. i'd leave the load bearing bottom one and maybe remove the next smallest leaf. thoughts?
