Hey all,
I'm about to start a 4 inch lift on the '77 FJ40. Going with Skyjacker/5100 Bilsteins. The rig currently has stock 2 3/4" pin to pin shackles, front and rear. As received, the crusier is definitely lower at the front end; rear is higher... I would say about 2 inches.
Does it make sense to finish the installation of the new leaf springs and shocks; attach to these stock shackles and them stand back and measure the trim (levelness) of the rig? then purchase appropreiate length shackles to bring the trim level or just go for the extended shackles now?
Thanks is advance for any help, and sorry if this is a way newbie question...
