Lifting your Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series?
Whether you have a FJ80 or a FZJ80, the chassis and frame are all the same from 1991 through 1997.
The biggest question is how big you want to go, how will you be using your Land Cruiser and what your payload will be.
When going taller than 3", you start increasing your lift costs because you go down the rabbit hole of getting nee control arms, brake line extentions, bump stop extentions, panhard rod lift etc...
Under 3", you can keep it to just shocks and springs and bushings..
In my case, I went with the Icon Stage 3 suspension which was great for about a year, until I started adding ALOT od weight with a rear tire carrier, hiLift Kack, fridge, drawers, gear... so I had sag in the rear, about a1.5" drop.. Not great for the suspension either.
The problem is ICON doesn't sell any other coil springs other than their base dual rate springs.
So either I could put a spacers or put the proper weighted springs in the rear.
I wanted to keep the dual rate spring styles and found that dobinson made a Spring that can handle 600lbs extra payload over stock, and is dual rate.
Perfect!
This video shows you the transformation.

For anyone looking for spring alternatives. Eibach started making 80 series springs. Their HD spring is comparable to the OME 2863, but actually smoother due to one exta coil.

What are the differnces between dobinson and OME? It seems like the defacto was OME but now I see people getting dobinson instead. It seems like OME only makes springs for people with weight and so dobinsons lighter end spring are better for those without it. Excited about your next dobinson video. Still debating between dobinson stock height with yellow springs or OME.

Dobinson has a large variety for all situations. That's why I got their heavies. I will be putting their 2" base lift in a 80 series very soon.. Video coming!

Hey man great video and thank you for posting it. I have a newly triple locked Lexus LX 450, and reside in New Mexico. I wanted to see what you would recommend on gears as I’m planning several trips to Colorado. I’ll be putting a 3” OME 80 Series Land Cruiser with BP-51, and Cooper Discoverer MAXX ST 285/75R17. My question is what gear would you recommend? I don’t ever plan of going over the 34-35 inch tires.
@CruisingTheLand
@CruisingTheLand 6 месяцев назад
So here is my experience. I run 35s and I chose not to regear. Reason is, I am mostly at sea-level in Southern California and rarely have to climb the Grapevine or El Cajon Passes.. But when I head up to the desert and high ground, I definitely feel the climb is tough and stuck between gears when heading up a grade. This is with the 1FZ-FE engine of course. With my Diesel 1HD-FT, no re gearing necessary, as the torque is plentiful to hold the gear and not kick down. The Diesel is just a different beast. So ultimately a Diesel with 35s no problem, a FZJ with 35s in the mountain altitude and hills to climb, I would regear.

What is the best suspension upgrades for flex and plush ride? Dobinson springs, king shocks, and superior drop arms?
@CruisingTheLand
@CruisingTheLand 7 месяцев назад
That would be a great combo, since King makes incredible shocks, but they don't make the springs. I would go dual rate springs. I have Kings and Icon dual rates on Black Mamba (my hdj81 Diesel JDM Land Cruiser)

What about bump stops? When doing a lift/bigger tires do you need them for all bigger than stock sizes or just 35s? Any recommendations on one you like?
@CruisingTheLand
@CruisingTheLand 8 месяцев назад
Yes bump stop extensions is all you really need when lifting. There are a few companies that sell them, Slle, Delta, Witsend etc..
@BigDreamInMotion
@BigDreamInMotion 6 месяцев назад
At 8 minutes you mention spacer can pop out...Thats BS. Spacers go on top of coils & extend free height of the coil. Only shocks that are too long to retain coils you have issues. For instance, you need a free coil height of 22" for a 28" front shock on an 80 series. If you have a 20" coil like an OME 850J you need a 26.5" shock no longet to retain the coil snug in the buckets.

White the black powder coat aftermarket bumpers, black roof rack and black sliders. A black or dark colour like gun metal grey etc. Wheels would look a whole lot better in my opinion. I would even paint the flares black, cuz the black theme on the grey Toyota LC would really look good.

I am getting my 93 FJ80 this week after a complete rebuild costing a fortune. What are insurance options out there? I am trying to get stated or agreed value but so far everyone points to Haggerty for classic.they only insure if the vehicle will be driven about 3000 miles a year. I never anticipated insurance would be an issue because so many are rebuilding rigs of all makes.
@CruisingTheLand
@CruisingTheLand 5 месяцев назад
Haggerty just started insuring 80 series. I pushed then last year and they finally approved it. But yes, 3000 miles or less a year. and stated value. So you can say 20k or you can say 40k and pay more in insurance. If you have armor on your vehicle, it's all about having Coverage for the other car..
