shackels for a lv

[fogblanket]

Tring to figure out what shackles I need for the rear of my 64 fj45lvand make sure I got hte correct ones for the front as well. i had ordered online from Man-a-fre 2 sets of anti inversion shackles for an fj40. but when I went to order the bushings Steve at man-a-fre was kind enought to look over my previous order of bshackels and pose the questions as to whether they where the right ones.
So what have other people ordered for there lv's?
thanks Jason

What I am not sure of is if the rear shackles on the 45 wagon are the same as the rear shackles on a 45 pick-up.....

Never compared them unfortuantely, anyone able to help?

this is definiately something i am interested in as well. not to steel the theard, but going on the idea that alot of these vehicles are similar, i am swaping the running gear from my 78 fj55 and dont know what to use. in my thread, i think it was treeroot that said the frame is the qualifier not the axels.

Alan Loshbaugh aka Chef and Erik Christiansen has a great article about it. Short wheelbase 45 pickup (same frame as an Fj45LV)

I'll type up the important bits in a bit....

Ok I got my shackles off. the front eyese on the spring and the frame are 1" diameter and the rears are 1 1/8" diameter. I geuss I will be trading in the set I got for the rear oh well no hurry.
