Stock height springs for an FJ60

[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.

Appears they are sold out at this point I have to chase other solutions I believe Suggestions as this thread has some age to it. I have spent way more already than hoped and my queen is worn a bit with 2k here and 3 k there

I’d try calling the office. I don’t think they list the Japanese OE reproductions on their e-comm site

They are sold out but we have a few pallet loads of the spring on the water from Japan. I’m currently on the road traveling but I took care of the import paperwork on this batch of springs before I left. ETA late November? We’ll see what customs does to us time wise (and what tariffs do to us cost wise). As such our sales team (primarily Jason and Chance) can/will put you on an interest list to call when they are available and we know what the new pricing will look like. We should have enough kits for ~20 60’s coming, though I know we have a handful committed pending the same pricing update. Thanks!

Thanks. I asked to be put on the list so fingers crossed. @cruiseroutfit could some send me a pm as to what pricing was on previous invy scenerios I am trying to get a ballpark idea. The new batch in all probability will have new economics which I under stand. Thanks

Quick question for all you tire / suspension gurus. My 16x6 70 wheels just arrived. Planning on pairing them with 235/85/16 Agilis Cross Climate2 - tall and skinny. I will be dropping back to a OEM-ish height suspension through Cruiser Outfitters.....I have searched googled etc - just getting another gut check here to make sure I'll be fine with spacing etc. I believe I should be......Pic is of my current set up - unknown lift from many years ago and 32x11.5x15 with oem wheels.

Thanks in advance.....
