Introducing myself to the IH8MUD crew. Howdy. I have had the 88 FJ62 "The Moose" for 16 years and it has been garaged most of that time, 180K. We have moved "The Moose" by transport from California to Washington, from Washington to Arizona and finally back to Southern California. No way in hell I would sell. Finally got settled and it is time to start wrenching. I am looking for some tech advice and opinions on lowering the suspension or replacing the standard shackles with inversion shackles. The current suspension is OME, shocks are shot but the springs are in good shape , tires 32x11.50 BFGs (13yrs old). The front shackles are 5 1/4" center to center and the rear are 3 1/2 center to center. Is it reasonable to put inversions on the front (3" center to center) and 3.5" inversions the rear? I am looking to replace the front steering stabilizer, shocks and shackles to lower "The Moose" just a bit. Or would replacing tires with 33x10.50, shocks and front stabilizer be a better economical choice. replacing the Buy from SOR or cruiser outfitters? I am positive I will have more questions in the future and I am looking forward to interacting with the IH8MUD community.
