FJ60 shock recommendations (1 Viewer)

[buoytech]

Guys
My '87 60 needs new shocks and I am looking for recommendations. One of my front shocks top nut came off and the threaded post is now bent. I have an OME 2" lift, a Man-A-Fre 38 gal fuel tank. The rest of the rig is stock, so stock weight. What are people running with that set up. I don't to too much true off-road but I do travel a bunch on logging roads and dirt roads. Thanks.

The shocks showed up today. Thanks. As long as the weather is not too bad, I hope to get them in next week. I have an unheated garage here in Montana so it is a pain to get some things done.

Go get greasy! It's only going to get colder up there

Same situation...but with an exhaust to install. I don't think it's AS cold
here in SW Colorado as it is in MT

I just got back home from the tropics on Sat. Its mid 30s rain/snow mix. Nice and damp in the garage.

When advance Auto parts looks up oem shocks for my 60 it only gives option for a BJ60. The Monroe rear shocks fit perfect, but when I ordered the fronts they we're a two eye mount shock. The 60 uses a top mount . Anyone know the stock Monroe part numbers for front shocks?

I’m running bilstein 5100 on my truck. They’re great riding and handle well. Running OME heavy/heavy on my truck.

I’ve flexed them pretty hard, the lengths work for me.

Bilstein vs OME shocks? Part numbers?

Went with some OME CS004rb rear and CS004f front springs (rough lift 2-3 inches) and am torn between Bilstein 5100/5125/4600 shocks VS. Old Man Emu. I hear the Bilsteins are giving a great ride and the OME ones as of late are valved a bit stiff? Anyone with some good info/details they are...

I paid less than $70 a shock fronts and $90 for the rear.

Fronts 33-230368 and they’re stud/eye. Valved for my front bumper and winch.


Rear 33-185606 rear are eye/eye and may need a different bushing depending on what year 60 you have.

Are the heavy springs also a lift?
