Where to buy new Brackets? :

not sure why you'd use FJ55 fronts....IIRC, they are identical to FJ40 fronts/rears, with the same pin offset....

Now REAR FJ55 packs are 3.5" longer, and work great for front susp FJ40 shacke reversals....

search this topic in this area, I explained how I used 60 stuff etc in detail, to make a 98" wheelbase, as wella s use 81> spring brackets, and do the front shackle reversal like a hilux, in the chassis.
