The Toyota Land Cruiser seems like it was meant for a 2" lift at a minimum.
When you see a 90s Land Cruiser at stock height no 265/70/16 wheels (30.6"), it just seems to short.
Going to 285/75/16 (32.8") or 295/75/16 (33.4") fills out the wheel well, and a 2" lift makes sure you have no rubbing issues and give it the proper height.
In this video we put the Dobinsons base 2" lift on this 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Loved this.

Beautiful looking LC!

My 80 has 2 inch lift and 285 75 r16 on bronze Sunraysia steelies with negative 15mm offset, I think that's perfect and there's not many places it can't go.....unless you're doing deliberate hard core rock crawling but I'm touring, caravan towing, bush camping etc, your set-up looks pretty much the same, good choice.

@NigelNaughton 6 месяцев назад

Looks good! Even using Dobinson's stock height springs to replace stock springs will lift it. I have the same kit as you used on mine. The only mod I had to do was extend the breather lines. Those side steps are sweet!!! 😜

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

It's the Dobinson 2" lift.. True they have stock height, I called these the Base lift, meaning entry level and not their remote reservoir set ups and over 2" kits..

@NigelNaughton 6 месяцев назад

@@CruisingTheLand Yeah, I realize that you used the 2" lift but just saying that for people that want to do their stock height springs it will most likely lift their rig if they still had the old stock springs. The 2"lift with 33s/34s is the sweet spot. There hasn't been a lot of places I was not able to take mine with that set up and no driveline issues at all either.

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

yes agreed 💯 Also true that stock suspension with 100k miles will be worn on the bushings and a little sag of maybe a half inch or so. Even nee bushings makes the ride sooooo smooth!

@olivedrabperformance 6 месяцев назад

Dobinsons make good suspension parts. I have had the slee 6” lift on my cruiser for 17 years. Dobinsons makes the springs for Slee.

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

6", that's a big lift!

@mikemurphyseemsliked 2 месяца назад

Lifted certainly looks good, but not everybody agrees about "better"

@CruisingTheLand 2 месяца назад

Stock 80 series look like low riders.. 2" minimum makes them look right.

@CruisingTheLand 2 месяца назад

Or at least bigger tires

@mikemurphyseemsliked 2 месяца назад

@@CruisingTheLand Depends where you are going with it, and who you are trying to impress I guess. The neighbors in the Hamptons, Cape Cod or Carmel CA or the partners at the firm may think the lift is...a little unorthodox 🤣 The guy who just bought a 125+ Corsetti Land Cruiser on BAT for example, he aint shoppin for a 2" lift on the OME site...

@CruisingTheLand 2 месяца назад

Well, I am taking my 80 series on the trail, and not to Cars & Coffee. Sure Corsetti build to OEM spec is beautiful, but will it ever get to see what it is built for at those prices? My 80 series I sell are 30k, and ready to hit the trails and put a smile on your face.. And maybe a smile on other people's faces who see it in action. But the goal is the Drivers face first! Best part is, all LC owners will be happy, depending what they are looking for out of their 80 and their budget and goals.

@wiynwiyn Месяц назад

Wanted to go with 35. LC is going to be a daily driver. Your video convince me to go 33 with a 2.5 ome suspension. Thanks

@CruisingTheLand Месяц назад

yes, the go to lift which makes the 80 series look right!

@diydaddy5092 6 месяцев назад

That lift looks great. For those stock wheels, what size spacers do you recommend? Thanks

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

SpiderTrax 1.5"

@nicholasvazquez5846 6 месяцев назад

Why did you go Dobinson twin tube vs OME? Also I know Dobinson has the IMS shocks for only a bit more. They are the monotube design similar to the MRR for much cheaper.

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

I went Dobinson bc I also got the 3.5" heavy springs at the same time for OTIS (my 1995 MoonGlow Pearl). That video is also on my YT channel. So shipping stayed low when I ordered the 2" base lift for this 1994 FZJ80, and had it shipped all together. Still a great lift. The OME may be slightly higher too, by about a half inch. I have my Red Pearl with OME. I should put them side by side. Perhaps I will do a OME vs Dobinson base lift kit comparison.

@exaktoh Месяц назад

How is the ride with those shocks? Thinking about getting these or IMS

@CruisingTheLand Месяц назад

Drive is AMAZING! Plus thr fact of new bushings all round. Better than New car, because it's an upgrade

I’ve got a 2011 Lexus Lx570 and looking for a shop that knows these rigs. What’s your recommendation? I’m in Irvine

@bobmariano3731 6 месяцев назад

Great info & video, I have a 1995 LC with 250,000 great condition & thinking about using the same lift & tires . Need to replace the side steps ( running boards ) what kind are those & what would you recommend ? ? Thx again . 👍⚾️

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

These are smitty built. They are not strong sliders.. I may remove then, if you are local in Socal

@bobmariano3731 6 месяцев назад

Are there anywhere to get original replacement running boards ? I don’t really need sliders ? Thx

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

@bobmariano3731 You would buy from someone that replaced theirs with sliders. I have 2 sets, and am in Southern California

@bobmariano3731 6 месяцев назад

Are you selling them ? How much you asking for them & are they in good condition ?

@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад

@@bobmariano3731 200 for the great condition one, 150 for the other. Selling because I installed sliders. Are you in Southern Califormia?
