FJ60 Suspension Options

If you want anything close to good customer service DO NOT deal with Dobinsons.

I should’ve gone through Kurt and Co as well.

I need to see some more of this truck. Is that bedliner? Also, what rack is that?

It is bedliner, specifically Monstaliner. I posted up some pictures at the link below whwn I did it:

Monstaliner Bedliner

Hi do you have any more pictures of your monstaliner up close. The texture you achieved is very intriguing. You mentioned that you sprayed with the nicer gun at 70-75psi. Did you also reduce it with MEK or anything. I am hoping to gain some clarity on how you were able to achieve the texture you...

Rack and bumpers are all home built back when I had more time, heavy but solid.

@salvage60 , good work on the wheel choice. It is VERY difficult to find good info on wheel offsets on a 60 series. Really for any series. The problem gets worse with the 80 series axle swaps out there. the stock 60 wheel is very "tucked in" so to go more modern/pushed out to the edge of the wheel well, one needs negative offset wheels like you did. On the 80 axles, a positive offset wheel sucks the wheel back in so they don't "poke" so bad with the added width. I have been trying to find the 5x150 wheel in a negative offset for the newer 7X series and they are even worse to find!

On the suspensions, there are so many variables it is tough to find a best scenario. I have Dobinsons on my red 60 and OME on my 61. Both are great.

Factory 60 wheels. Tires are 33x10.50 BFG K02's.
Lots of steel wool scrubbing on the chrome steelies to get em back to life

Nice. Scored a set of four of those.
Of course I’d just bought 2 sets of 15” tires…

They look great.
