70/80/100 Suspension Compatibility

[Squash]

I'm pretty sure all the J70s have had leaf springs in at least the rear from the factory.

There may have been some 70 series with coils all around but someone will have to correct me if that's the case.

From 1999/2000 the 79 series comes with fromt coils, same brake calipers as an 80.

Coils are not the same, not interchangeable.

I think you’re right, the front is coils tho, which makes sense, since the weight doesn’t really change in the front accept when braking. I’m not gonna risk buying 70’s stuff but I bet the front shocks are the same. Thanks mate

I own an LJ 78 and it has coil all around. I think the lite duty ones have springs.

Heavy duty has leaf springs, light duty as the 94 kzj78 (first Prado) has coils all around. Currently searching suspension upgrade for it which brought me to this thread
