Happy Sunday-
I want to return my 93 FZJ80, to its stock height.
The PO made the current modifications to the LC (I'm going off of the receipts for the lift) which are; Bridgestone KO AT 285/75/16 and a 2" OME lift (555 tie rod ends, caster correction, Nitro charger shocks 60018 front and rear 60020 and a steering dampener).
Looking to swap the current tires with 275/70/16 and install OME stock height replacement suspension. I'm in no rush to start this project as I hope to wear down the larger tires first as I hate to change perfectly good tires
From previous threads it looks like I can do the job myself, although those threads are for installing a lift not removing a lift so removing the larger springs may be more difficult. Casters, I'm guessing may need to be taken in to a shop to be pressed. The lift was put in last year, so hopefully the bolts will not be too much of a problem. ( I noticed the front driver's side shock bolt is conveniently located under the brakes and some videos advocate for removing the entire rear shock support bracket(s) rather than the shock itself.
I have a couple questions:
Can I keep the OME steering dampener that was installed with the lift or do I need to replace it as well.
Do I need to replace the caster with a stock height caster?
Do you think I can keep the 33's on with the stock height (at least for a short period of time).
As always, thank you LC community--Dan
