FJ-62 suspension?

[beachedFJ62]

I have an 88 FJ-62 and wanna lift it to clear 33's. What would be the best and most economical way to do this?

 

[lowtideride]

Hey brotha....the best way to clear 33s would to not do anything 33by9.5s fit on stock 60/62s

 

[lowtideride]

p.s. you ready for the trail ride tomorrow tomorrow? 2(60's) 1 (40) and a taco..

 

[beachedFJ62]

dude i'm pumped....
i'm even more ready for telaco

Economical, how about the BDS 2.5" lift kit plus 33's?

sounds like more fun than stock...might as well go to 4inch if your gonna do 2.5

I'm still trying to find pictures of someone who put bling bling wheels on the FJ62...

wonder if there is any good photoshoppers on here....

I'll have some pictures this weekend of my 62 with the HFS kit on it and some 33x12.5 muddies, although, no bling bling here, flat black steelies

 

[lowtideride]

Post them up...foool

 

[ILikePie]

this weekend man, you gotta be patient, I just bought them monday, have no time to get em mounted till friday. 33x12.5 Dayton Timberlines on some whitespokes that I'm painting black. running the HFS lift springs, with OME greaseable anti-inversion shackles. anyways, I'll try and put em up friday night.

k, here she is guys. driveway leans back and to the left alittle, and shes got a little cruiser lean on the left rear. but anyway, gives you an idea of a 62 with a HFS lift and 33s.

Hey ILikePie, you might want to post up a few more pics...I don't think you captured the full effect haha

 

[lowtideride]

hey man...that rig looks pretty good...nice job

 

[ILikePie]

well, I know I couldn't find many good pics of what I wanted to do, so I figured I'd try to show as much as I could. anyway, it rubs on all 4, I think new bumpstops and maybe add-a-leafs will fix it though...don't wanna get extended shackles.

ohh yeah, that chrome trim on the passengers side is gone, finally ripped that crap off

 

[lowtideride]

wellll with springs that flex(lifted springs) more, longer shackles isnt a bad idea....just a thought..

add-a-leafs will make the ride stiffer...it will handle better on the road tho..

 

[ILikePie]

yeah, add-a-leafs def in the rear, dunno so much about the front, and bumpstops all around...should work. I wish HFS would have "overbuilt" their rear springs, those buggers didn't lift as high as the front did.

maybe longer shackles, but damn, I just bought these reg size anti inversion greaseable OME ones...
