suspension fj40

Gidday, I have an Fj40, Wanna get new leafs with a bit of a lift. Wondering if Front leaf reversal shackle kits are available here? A company in usa specialises in Fj40 mods, but way to $$ to get it shipped over.

I'm pretty sure Niblik did a front shackel reversal on this 40 hes building, theres about 26 pages to sift through on his build thread to find it

Can carefully grind off both mounts and switch them round. Did that and pushed out about 40mm to match perches on 60 series diff housing.

A cheap and nasty is to just weld your front swinging shackles so are fixed and add swinging shackles to the rear. Will give you some lift to.
