Help deciding upgrades.

[CB3030]

So.... Have 75 fj40. Been trying to figure out what I'm dealing with oem va after market. This will be vague but any input is helpful. The following are areas of upgrades contemplating. Looking for

Have Howell efi kit. Was sold with vehicle. Install would be 1k. I could maybe handle it but it's daunting. Live at 10k feet above sea level. But this can wait.

Going to do some suspension. Previous owner put coil springs on shocks. Also shackles measure 5 3/4" pin to pin. Seem after market. Steering stabilizer needs replacing.

Please see attached photos and tell me what you think. Might go complete kit but wasn't trying to spend the money yet since I need new tires.

Looks like 4 3/4" pin-to-pin...

Coil-overs aren't oem... I don't think the 4 3/4" shackles are either... IIRC oem shackles are about 2-2.5"

I know you can't wait to get those coil-over shocks off the rig, they only work in about 90 percent the wrong direction (plus leave you double spring loaded).

Rebuild your steering before you start playing with suspension. Safety before comfort.
