The 60 series springs are way huskier than the 40 series if you happen to know where to find a setWell Gang took out or i should say completely took out my front springs and blew the front drive shaft yoke on my 40 so its down for abit till i can get the springs replaced OH BTW ne 1 know where to get heavier springs other than custom made i am going to do the shackle reversal might as well since its down. so im back to non rock crwling wheeling hehehe for abit

Ford 150 and Jeep Wagoneer springs are popular choices for the rear on the FJ40, both will kick the rear axle back a bit and give a better departure angle.
to hear about your springs. I have a stock front set you are welcome to. I also have a complete set of the 2/2 1/2 inch lift springs for sale for 100.00 bucks. Specter sells them new for 300.00+. They worked well for me but I switched to some 55 springs in the rear to move the axle back for better departure angle on my DL after I put my crawler box in. On Sat. I just went back to stock springs on the front to level the beast; so now I have the whole set . I still have to see if it is level and all angles are still good when I get it back together(waiting for my new U-bolts and bushings) and then they are available. I would still like to hear how you did that. Air??
We had a fun BCNN activity at Moon Rocks a few years back. I love that place. Your still welcome to those stock springs. Doing the shackle rev. should strenghten your front end alot.
Why do you want hydro?drivetrain is stock 40 and i dont have a crawl box im runnin the sm420/Toyota 3 speed t case gives me about a 4.7 4 low other than that its the Toyota straight 6 and i put power steering in it but im going to be going to a hydro set up for playin in the rocks.

The PS on my 60 does bring the suck at low RPM's. If we keep that boat I'll have to do something about that.

My 40 with the Saginaw steering conversion does not need Hydro assist. In fact I have the whole PSC ram assist set up and have never installed it. My concern is that I'll put to much stress on the steering arms and break a knuckle, that and the fact that not being able to crank the wheels with the current set-up has never been an issue.
I have a lot more money to spend on other stuff before not having Hydro assist is a limiting factor.
