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.

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.
