Hey guys, need a little help.
I have a set of 80 axles that Im putting under my fj60. I plan on using all of the 80's links and mounts, and also lift it about 6". So my questions for you guys are:
1) What should I take into account right now about link mounting. Meaning what have you guys with lifted 80s found out after lifting your 80s. Should I adjust the pinion angle, change the links, ect.
2) What coil spring would you guys recommend?
3)What are my options for a hysteer set up? or is that even needed?
4) Any other suggestions?
:cheers:

80's Series Front Axles can be tricky to make work with links or springs because the stock tie rod is in the rear, i would look at the 3 link Action Jackson did on his 80.. Ive heard good things about Slee's Coil Springs..
 
It all depends if you are planing do some fender cuts to allow huge tires down there .. 60 body with no cuts alow 35 tires with 6" aprox of lift ..
