Hi all, I have been reading this forum for a while and it’s my first post. The information on the forums here are great and helpful. I have a 1987 BJ74 with 13BT, a LJ71 with 2LT and a 1992 4Runner with 5L motor. Planning to get a 76 series with 1HZ later this year.
It’s about time to replace my stock suspension for my BJ74. I have searched the forums but still need some suggestions from you guys. It would be good if I can get an extra lifted height for about 2-2.5” but it’s not a must. But since I am changing it, may as well upgrade it. That’s what I think at the moment. I drive mainly in town but a few times a month, I need to drive in forest roads (muddy sand roads). The back is usually empty but occasionally I will put 100kg of things.
And being able to purchase the suspension parts in USA is highly preferable. So, should I go for the OME shocks and leaf springs? Will the ride be a big difference compared to the stock suspension? It’s not easy to find factory parts in my country. I have to ship from USA to here usually. The shipping from Australia to here is difficult and costly.
Thanks in advance for your comments and help.
