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.

easy to do bro, cut em off carefully and switch em to the rear.. gotta use a bit of grunt to knock out the rivets too.. stubborn biatch's!
