For Sale [WA] FJ40 OME Suspension Kit

[Curtice]

Location

United States

**SOLD**

$800

2.5" kit. Comes off a 2/1980 FJ40. I purchased and installed this last April. Since then, I have driven less than 500 miles. What I am selling includes:

Heavy duty front springs (CS002F)
Medium rear springs (CS001R)
Front and rear shock absorbers
4 greasable anti-inversion shackles
All spring and shackle bushings to go with the above. (a couple of the bushings are not in the best shape, but most are still in great condition).

Does NOT include: spring pins, U-bolts, or steering stabilizer.

Obviously I prefer pickup, but will ship if no local interest. I live in Maple Valley, WA...about 25 miles southeast of Seattle.

Pics:

Thanks.

Why are you selling?

 

[Curtice]

Why are you selling?

Decided I wanted a taller lift.

 

[FluByU]

Is the one shackle (lwr right in pic) bent or is it just the pic?

 

[Curtice]

Must be just the pic. Shackles are not bent. Would be glad to send additional pics if you want.

 

[RSHARPfzj80]

Do you have a pic when the lift was on the truck?

 

[Curtice]

Sure. Here you go. My tires are 33x12.5.

Will this fit a 1978??

 

[wileycoyote]

Is the bushings the large hole or the small hole? Thanks.

 

[Curtice]

FluByU: I am willing to Ship

Garretg: I believe it will fit a 1978...From my understanding kits are made for cruisers before 7/80 and after. This is a before 7/80 kit.

wileycoyote: bushings are for 15mm bolt size (small hole probably)...is that what you are asking?

 

[wileycoyote]

Shipping quote to 42141?

 

[Curtice]

Shipping will be approximately $250. It is about $55 per spring, plus will probably be $20 or so for the box with the shackles and bushings. This is via FedEx, which has given me the best quote so far. I tried uship, but quotes from them are all a little more than this. This is to 4xxxx zip codes. Probably not much different to most areas in that part of the country.

For what it's worth, I installed a set of OME's on my early cruiser last weekend. The springs are the same, early or late, only the bushings differ. If you have early bushings and want to install the springs on a late model 40 then you need to purchase late model bushings.

Here is a link to Man-a-fre's bushing page: Old Man Emu Bushings

 

[FluByU]

Well that rules me out. Good luck with the sale.
