Topic: Leaf spring to coil spring conversion on FJ40

[imaghost]

Where can I get information about a leaf spring to coil spring conversion for a 1970 Fj40

[imaghost [OP]]

I guess this isn't a big deal w/ Toyota owners.  Quite a few Jeep owners have made the conversion!

i've been considering going to coils in the front of my '79 pickup.  i'm thinking about building radius arms and a panhard bar ala old ford f150/bronco suspension

there's no kits on the market so you'll have to either make it yourself or have it done, i think looking at jeep long arm kits would be good for ideas

I spoke to Brett Lovett (owner) of Superlift and he said that they are working on some prototype suspensions for the Fj40s.  They aren't due out to be beta tested until
later this year.  So, I guess stay tuned.

I'm interested in a coil suspension set for my 77fj40. Keep me informed of the progress. Thx

I checked out a supa sweet wishbone 3 link in the woods this weekend under a Toy truck. Used a 1" heim joint on the center of the axle where the wishbone link attached. Wish I would have got some pics.

i doubt it all the axle mounts are going to be for a centered diff and the frame mounts might work,
