I stalled out when I realized I did not have any normal height greaseable shackles. The ones one the truck are 5” eye to eye. Stock are 3”. The OME greaseable are 3” so that keeps your caster good. This truck, not only has 3” taller springs in the front, it also has the aluminum caster shims installed backwards (sorry Drew for tossing you under the bus)
Rear to the bottom of the flare
Front to the bottom of the fender
I’ll be adding light/medium OME which should drop it nice and level with the rear.
It also gets the proper STEEL shims from Valley Hybrids. Adding more caster is a good thing. FJ40s only came with 1* caster and they are squirrelly already. Giving them some
Extra caster only helps things when steering. These are mandatory on all my lifts.
