i hv a 1970 FJ40 with original suspension. i don't want/need a lift kit, but i would like some info on how to get a smoother ride. the body is not sagging, so i don't think i need to replace the springs. any idea appreciated ! cheap = better !!:eek:

by original suspension, do you mean stock schocks too?? if so, you may want to repalce those with RS9000's or something softer...if your shocks are 32 years old, they may be a little tired/wornout/dead...oh and goood luck getting them off if theyve been on there sicne 1970

you could also go through all the bushings and lube or replace them. they get hard, bolts get rusty, ect.. ect..
