2.5 bds front, 2 inch ironman front, 32 inch muds, stock everything else. It does a little better now, the pic is from a few days after getting the lift on and the springs have softened up nicely now. fj60's seem to flex really nice SUA especially compared to the CJ-7 I used to have, or the wrangler (something-J?? Leaf spring-J??) my buddy has.
I wanted to bring this thread back because it is basically sweet and can provide good reference for someone looking. So lets see some more pics.
2.5 inch BDS springs 1.5 inch shackles and 33s.
With swaybars
Without Swaybars - I know you can't really tell a difference, but it is there, trust me.

Nice pics brian. Too bad that little ledge is all the rock GWNF has to offer haha. I wish i had some good pics from crozet, that was gnarly as hell, i worked my s*** over good. Ill see if i can find my flex shots, i got some good poser shots.

Yeah, seriously. I've been wanting to check out crozet for a long time. Let's see them shots.

X2!
some old 3" pinnacle engineering springs. i hear the new springs they make really suck.
i could make the rear flex more if the shocks were not limiting the flex. also i extended the bump stops front and rear because i was getting too much up travel. Now the tires just barely rub in the front and back. i would throw on some 35s and put a sway bar back on but i would rather have more flex
btw part of the lift is with longer shackles

3" OME susp + 1" body. 33 X 12.5X15 MTs. It's not enough for me. I'm going SOA with 37's. That should handle anything I want to do. The only times I've been stuck so far is by being high centered on tank traps (see the third pic).
I've heard bad things about those springs, too, but it looks like they are plenty flexy. I agree with the shock comment. I think they restrict articulation more than we realize.
Bigndn, good pics and i know what you mean about the high centering. Been there, done that.

LOL, I can believe it! How'd that mud get on my spare tire?
I'm guessing it has something to do with the 4 ft overhang Toyota built onto the back of our 60s.

Here are a couple more pics. I know I coud get more articulation on the front and rear if I redo the shock mounts.
screwin around one day.
in these pics the front suspension is completly stock and the rear lifted..
my arm was in a cast when i did the lift and i ran out of time for the front...
took pics before work one day. front is now lifted but no wheeling pics yet....
either way it gives you a good idea how much she flexes up lifted all the way around.
