Re: Reed 78 FJ40 Rebuild
Thank's Kees!
It was a fun project, it came out pretty nice and is not to bad to drive On another note we did find out that the front springs and shackle have been "reversed" so this makes the front axle centerline move forward and when this happens it changes the height a bit. If you notice the front sits higher than the rear! The owner also bought the lift kit 4" and 4" front and rear and it should have been 2" and 4" this would make it level (turns out this very common) with these fj40 models when lifted, so the fix is I will change the front spring to a shorter one to make level rather than lift the back up (making it more unstable) Mark
