Fj-40 shackle reverse kit specific Q. (2 Viewers)

[Kschep]

Quick follow up - because I bought this from someone who literally could answer no questions originally about it. How would I properly determine what lift I have compared to original?…

I’m assuming it goes something like this: first determine what is original…don’t really care
So then, just measure between what and what? To get an idea

Looks like you have about 4" suspension lift over stock.

The amount of lift you have is due to a few things, that shackle reversal puts the front fixed mounts lower ( quite a bit ) so that generates lift and the springs look to be aftermarket, cant see rear shackles in any pic but I bet they are longer than stock ? Overall it does appear to be 4 is inches upand body mounts look stock. Hows the steering ? looks like it could use 2* castor shims. The bilsteins will make ride as harsh or worse IMO, spend the coin and get Dobinsons, I believe they have a 4" lift shock listed. They are pricey but worth it.
