Suspension Refinements
With our new build there are modification that are not working out right. With the our All Pro Off-Road suspension I found the rear springs to be to soft for the load that we carry. All Pro makes a heavier spring (20% stiffer than stock) with a little more lift. Earlier this week I received a new set of these heavier springs from All Pro and today’s project was to get them installed.
To install these springs the lower links, sway bar, shocks and track arm needed to be disconnected from the axle so it could be lower enough to get the springs in. With the FJ on jack stands I was then able to lower the rear axle allowing for enough space to get the new springs fitted.
With the springs in place I bolted up all the parts on the rear axle, remounted the wheels and the FJ was ready to roll. With the new springs installed I now have a slight forward dip with the FJ (more like stock) and the rear feel much firmer while driving.
The install to about 2 hours.
How does these spring compare to like the heavy duty by OME?
Hi,
I have a 2009 FJ and am an active extreme desert driver living in Dubai. I owned a YJ Jeep wrangler and shifted to FJ. Have always driven anywhere offroad without mods in the jeep but feel i need a bit of ground clearance for the FJ to spare my bumpers (don’t want to change bumpers).
Thinking of a small lift. Don’t want the expensive OME… what would you suggest?
Thanks,
