front leaf spring reversal

[grey fj40]

i reversed my front leaf springs on my fj40 that already has a shackle reversal to get a little longer wheel base, other than the driveline length, shock mounts and pinion angle adjustment, does anyone know of any other steering or functional issues this will cause??

Thanks, i think i might have to trim a bit on the front of the fender to keep the tire away from it under articulation, but i have to get it put back together and give it a test run.

yeah you dont have to cut the whole front just trim the outer lip. it rubs. youll love the ride etc..

The fenders are the only issue I had with mine. I want to keep as much fender as I can (I've got a nice set), but want to make sure I don't keep rubbing on them after I spend the effort to cut them back.

It's a fine line....
