Need advice on fj40 suspension
dude one liner riddle is not enough state your location with vehicle history and the issues in year model vehicle.
I recently bought an fj40. I 90% drive it on road and the 8 leaf springs are stiff to say the least. I am looking for a coil conversion. What suspension would be best ? Surf or 80 series or (70 series) 91 prado ? What would the estimated cost for each of these suspensions be? @capsat
Sorry was typing out the rest. Basically its 1uz swapped and producing around 300hps. The steering and stiffness hinder handling.
you forgot to mention the location again.
however this FJ40 Thread by the technical member can help if you are nearby

Don't go for coil conversion. You can use stock leafs and ironman shocks and comfort shackles for stability. I've done it and have access to every mod In fj40.
Steering stiffness why?
Steering and stiffness. The suspension is stiff and the steering is extremely loose and the steering box nut is not in the best of conditions so probably need a new steering box.
Will try removing a leaf or two from the rear leafs and getting g comfort shackles. How much are the iron man shocks ? I was quoted approximately 3 lakh for complete 80 series suspension parts( steering rack bump stops contol arms stock shocks etc).
Okay you can contact me on WhatsApp if you need to see my jeeps and the comfort in them and the things done on them. 03105419868
This was way back earlier not now. Time has changed.G shackles are good if you use ironman, pin kit and bush kit altogether.
And shock absorber can be decided after your driving traits and pathway.
