Our 1970 FJ40 looks like the rear end is sagging a bit. It also appears to have a slight lean toward the passenger side. It has 16" steel wheels with Goodyear Wrangler MT 75R16's. I assume that our leaf springs are original and could use replacing. I have done a lot of reading on the FAQ and Tech link pages regarding lift kits and have a few questions for those willing to kindly share their advice/experiences. Seriously, how hard of a project is this for a novice working by himself? I see that the most common lifts are 2" and 4". Is there a consensus for mostly city and some occasional light off road? Cruiser Corps offers a OME Kit 2" light load with shackle and pins and steering dampener. They also offer a heavy load. Seems like the heavy load is overkill for our situation, but would like input. The kit includes OME shocks. Would it be better to get the shocks separately and purchase Bilstein? If folks have had bad experiences with installing these kits or shocks or good experiences with others, I would really appreciate any feedback.
As always, thank you.
