Dear all
A brand new member. I just finished the engine swap on my FJ73 to make
it an HDJ73 with a 1HD-T and is definitely the most powerful rig I
ever owned. I put in Old Man Emu leafs with LTR
shocks which are good enough in general conditions. However, the suspension does not
respond fast enough. I am actually looking right now to convert
it from leaf to coil or coil over. I was looking for
anybody who ventured on such a project before or can
at least
point me in the right direction as far as parts and
suppliers? Mine is a 73 but I think the process would be very similar to a 40 or a 60 if anybody has more experience with them.
My biggest concern is length and location of control arms. Choice of suspension make is an issue as well but probably a later decision. Any Advice?
rgds,
Mido

Suspension Conversion on a 73

Don't bother with Calbah. Spoke to them about my middy and was told they were getting out of 4 wheel drives because of the amount of "red tape" involved. I can't find the email, must have deleted it. But that's what I was told about 6 or 7 months ago.
Many people have done this to various Yota's. A good way to go (if you have the funds and the time/knowhow) is an 80 series diff conversion. Gives you wider diffs, halves the mounts to fabricate (they're already on the diffs) and if you're lucky it will also include trailing arms etc. Just one way to go. Dazz on here did this to his 40 series and is/has just done another one.
Good luck
