Fzj70 lift kit

[876 Cruisers]

Good Day all,

I'm interested in a lift kit for a fzj70. It's a 1990 pzj70 chassis with a swapped fz engine.

Most lifts I see for the 70 series indicate 1985-12/1989 and I'm wondering if that lift will work for all 70 series throughout the years that came with leaf springs in front?

Also is the Dobinsons lift kits any good or just go with OME?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Dobinsons vs OME . Ive had both and both were good, I really cant say which one was my favourite. My Dobinsons had 6 years on the vehicle when I sold it and the OME had 8 years being fitted by the PO. Neither sagged . The OME needed new bushes after 8 years but it had done some hard miles.

The 70 series are using 60 series on the rear and same as 73/74/75 series on the front. There is some debate about the rears being 4mm different from a 60 but my Dobinsons kit had 60 series painted onto the rears. I think you could probably go even later up to the last of the leaf sprung fronts in 99
