FJ60 Spring on a FJ62?

[mmw68]

Iam 99% sure they will fit - or Iam I way off base here??
Any know the answer or have done this??

They will fit but they are not the same. The 62 has a different configuration to the rear packs and the little keepers are plastic lined to reduce friction.

It is said that 62 packs are less prone to sagging. Plus, the individual leaves on 62 packs are just a hair thicker than the individual 60 leaves. The differences are subtle, and from 10 feet away, invisable.

I've just spent many quality hours this weekend making up beefy spring packs from FJ62 and FJ60 springs for my spring over. I also used slightly modded FJ62 springs on the back of my FJ40 spring over.

I believe that the 62 uses more springs since the rig is a little bit heavier.

Putting 60 springs on a 62 may cause them to sag pretty quickly.

Just curious what you're wanting to accomplish?
I'm wanting to put 62 springs on my 60. If you have some good, arched 62 springs you can have my flat, saggy, non-sprung 60 springs.

Hey Scott - How's it going! Going to roundup?

Here is what I was hoping to do. There are two of us in the local LSLC club that have daily driver FJ62. We are thinking about finding a core set so we could have our springs re-arched.

It might be a mute point - I have not even looked into a re arching shop here in town.

Grant - have do had this done in this area??
