FJ55 Spring Length

[Azrocks]

What is the eye to eye measurement on the FJ55 springs to use in the back of an FJ40 spring over?

Thanks in advance!

FJ-40--1070mm--42.13in----1070mm--42.13in

Thanks!

The FJ60 springs are also wider than the 40's, correct?

Hi All:

!Si! A little bit wider, but can be fitted into 40 Series spring hangers with a small amount of bushing trimming.

60 Series rear springs are very similar in length to that of the 55 Series.

Are the pins centered on the 60's like the 55 series? I guess my question is are the 60 springs as good of a candidate for the rear springs in a SOA as the 55's?

I've discussed this several times. Bottom line, 60 and better yet, 62 springs work great. The springs are the SAME width, but the bushing flanges are much wider---0.265 vs 0.125.

Thanks, found your stuff. Also Ruffstuff makes a solution for this as well for future searches.
