Suspension & wheel ?'s from a noob

I believe the bushings as specific to 55s. Not expensive until you add on shipping. Bought mine at a local spring shop. Take the old ones in and ask them to match.

Okee Dokee....Thnx RiderJgs!
I gotta really start comparing my setup to stock pics in manuals. The more I look at it, the more I think it might be sitting higher than stock. Wngrog picked out aftermarket shackles just from one of my pics with his expert PigVision!
I also just found a receipt for leaf springs in an ancient stack of receipts for this rig. I've found loads of work receipts all the way back to the 80's, along with several manuals stashed in a wooden box in the back of this Pig. Tells a pretty interesting story, from what I've read so far.
Can't wait for the Pig Party, I'm super stoked!

If your springs aren't all flattened out, try them for a while!

I am running stock Pig springs & shackles.

On 31s:

Then 33s:

Confirm for me.....

FJ-55s use pre-80 FJ40 size spring bushings right?

I do not believe so. Pretty sure the spring pins are different size.

Also pretty sure you can get new bushings at NAPA. There was a thread with a NAPA p/n in here a while ago...
