My 1978 FJ55 has an Alcan spring lift. I don’t know what the height of the lift is (the truck came with it) and forgot to take height measurements prior to starting the front axle rebuild and total steering component redo.
I’m replacing EVERY steering component or rebuilding. The current set up has the damper attached to the tie rod with a U bolt on one side and attached to the driver side of the front axle housing with a U bolt on the other side. See pictures. This is a new set up to me and I don’t understand why you would go away from original position anchored on the passenger side of the frame on one side and the center arm on the other.
Can anyone shed some light on my current set up and advise wether or not going back to stock would be problematic?
