Hey Guys,
I figured I'd make a thread dedicated to the suspension options from Dobinsons for the FJ55 Land Cruiser. Up until recently, the leaf springs were only sold by special order, and made to order, which took forever, like 6 months or more. They're now stocked in the USA, but unfortunately they're a high price since they're hand formed at the Dobinsons factory in Rockhampton, Australia. There's not enough demand to build jigs to make them by machine like the other popular cruisers, Tacomas, etc.
First off, all parts are priced and listed here: 55 Series (1970-80) Archives - Exit Offroad - https://exitoffroad.com/product-category/toyota/land-cruiser/fj55-series/
Here's a breakdown of each component offered.

Front and Rear Greasable Shackle Kits (same on both ends)
SK59-015 and SK59-016 - greasable design, these do not add lift. They are sold in pairs, one left hand and one right hand side in each pair
