After recommendation from the IH8MUD FJ60 Crew, I ordered OME all around from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters (@cruiseroutfit). Excellent customer service! Arrived Friday and installed the Front and Rear Shocks Saturday. The day before I sprayed all the old shock connections with WD-40 to loosen the crud. All in all very straight forward, but holy smoke after lots of grease and some serious weight/wedging the bushings finally snapped into place. The original left rear bottom bushing was blown out, might have been why there was a slight lean in the rear. Overall the 1995 OME shocks held up exactly as they were built for, longevity. That is why I went with OME and I'll get another 16yrs. I did not get to the steering stabilizer, but I am guessing after some serious hammering/heat/ and a puller, I'll have it installed next weekend.
