Stock height springs for an FJ60 (1 Viewer)

[cruisermatt]

These 60s with the new springs look like they’re riding about 1 inch higher than the true Toyota stance when the 60s rolled out of the factory in the 80’s.
This is a good thing.
The stock springs were very low. A brand new 60/62 on the dealership lot only had about 1/2” downward travel on the front springs before hitting the bump stop.
I measured one (at the dealership) in 1988.

Maybe that's the however many weeks, months, or miles a new 60/62 would have spent getting it's suspension cycled on a container ship and vehicle transport between Japan and a US dealership?

I’m a big fan of this new kit available for folks who want to keep a classic look to their 6x trucks.

Rides well, simple system, a good mix of new OEM parts and solid Japanese aftermarket suppliers.

Great parts contribution by @cruiseroutfit.

@cruiseroutfit, sold, ill be getting in touch. Assuming there isn't much difference for spring set-up between an FJ60 and a BJ60?

From the OE yes, that is part of the learning curve on these kits, Toyota had 20+ different part numbers for the 60 Series springs along, front, rear, RH, LH, with winch, year changes, motor changes, etc. Using OE specs the spring manufacture supersedes many/most of those back into a handful of part numbers but we have found though trial/error exactly which are the best fit and modifying them a bit yet to have a clean level stance.
