Suspension for BJ73

I replace the leaves and shocks on my FJ60 with Ironman gear over Xmas. I'm on a really tight budget (well actually the missus changed the lock on her purse....) so didn't look too closely at OME after I got a quote that was over $2.3k fitted.

After shopping around I got the whole kit (2 inch lift, leaves, shocks (foamies), greasable shackles and bushes, and steering damper) for $1,300. Mind you, I did a lot of shopping around :-)

The result? I'm happy with the performance so far, but to be honest I've only given the rig a good workout once since I fitted it all. She coped with the Powerline Trek brilliantly, didn't come close to bottoming out or anything.

Mind you, I did have a major hassle getting the right parts. First the rear shockies were wrong, then (when I had the whole back off) I discovered they'd sent the wrong rear pins. All eventually sorted, but I got a bit p1ssed at being told by the Melb distributor that I should have paid more attention to their numbering system.

I know I could have saved myself the hassle by paying to have a set fitted - but hey, I'm $$$ in front.

Hi there bj, have a look in the 4wd monthly magazine they advertise iron man in there and prices seem ok. You dont normally get shackles pins etc in kit form this is normally extra. I have just booked my'n in at TJM (front end only) including new front leaf springs (they wont have them retensioned as they reckon you will be back in 12 months needing doing again) greasable shackles, pins supply and fit $580 thats OME thats not including shocks which I will do my self. Have a read of post 30230. Regards Steve M
