Spec Request

[pateshu]

My apologies if this is inappropriate or in the wrong subforum, but I'm looking for any information on this build/stance. For my needs, this is ride height and stance is exactly what I want.

Does anyone have the particulars on rig?

The shackles make me think ome medium with 33x12.50 on Steele wheels similar to my hj61.
First pic is fj62 with used light medium springs. 33x10.50

Next pic hj61 heavy springs

third pic fj62 with bumper and roof rack

Final pic with fj60 and stock springs 31x10.50 extended rear shackles

When in doubt call kurt at www.cruiseroutfitters.com

 

[Output Shaft]

The stock FJ60 tires that came on the car when it rolled off the dealer's lot all those many years ago had a diameter of 28.3 inches. The difference between 33 inch tires and 28.3 inch tires is significant, both in power/torque/acceleration and braking. The stock differential gears in the axle housing of the FJ60 are 3.73. 4.10 or higher ratios are more suitable for 33 inch tires. Nothing can be done to improve the braking performance when moving up to larger tires except to drive more carefully.

Wow thank you, I had the feeling it was a standard OME kit and figured the tires were a 33x11.5 or 12.5 but I've not been around cruisers long enough to eyeball them.

That chart is very helpful, I've been reading up on gearing quite a lot but that is a very easy guide.
