FJ62, 2-3" lift. What is better, OME or Ironman? Any thoughts? (1 Viewer)

I like my OME heavy suspension. Much better than the worn out stock susp. Can't compare to others tho. Cruiser Outfitters are very knowledgeable and can get you exactly what you need...all the parts and answer any technical questions you have or run into with the install.

Those are our extended sway bar links. Only late model 6x’s had the rear sway bar in the US.

they make any noticeable difference? Ive just realized my current shackles are installed wrong...been like that as long as ive owned my rig. would switching to the "proper" angle make any difference? thanks

The rear sway can certainly help on heavy Cruisers.


Can you share a pic of your shackles so I can see what you’re working with?

I’m not understanding what you want to flip to get a better angle. Those look like standard angles of a hanging shackle.

Yours angle "out" where as mine angle "in"....

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Ah yes, but mine is on the ground. As the suspension and weight of the vehicle settl,e the shackles move back. Your axles appears to be hanging in the air and thus sour angles don't look incorrect. Either way there's nothing you can flip to quickly solve that. If your angles are incorrect, you have the wrong leaf springs installed.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok...so maybe on ground they look different/correct...gotchya. ill ck
