Hi there everybody,
Long time lurker but first time poster. Apologies if this has been touched on or discussed before but having spent a considerable amount of time searching this topic this but unable to find much if anything, thought I would ask.
Recently purchased a 70 Series Prado, and having seen the fairly unique "coil spring over suspension" setup was just wondering if there are other suspension or shock options besides say OME or Dobinsons? As I understand it, the 70 Series Prado (light duty) shares certain suspension components with the 80 Series, but was it ever possible to swap suspension components such as the shock absorbers from other members of the 70 Series family?
Would it be possible to say get components from Fox, King Suspension, Radflo or Icon to work? Maybe a generic shock absorber taking into account fully compressed and fully extended lengths?
Thanks guys for your time.
