Rear Springs, Shocks, & Sway Bar Links Replacement with Lift Kit - FJ Cruiser Part 2 of 2

[@AlpooplA]

Your video helped me a great deal. Good info on using Toyota bushings and loved the trick of using a bottle jack on the axle to help put the larger springs in.

At 3:53 what is the metal bracket that holds the break lines, shock and the sway bar. I need to know because mine broke and I can’t find anything like it for sale

[@hardlymovingpro]

Not quite certain what you're referring too. Suggest addressing problem with a replacement part from a salvage yard or dealership.

[@UncleFjester]

Why the replacement rear sway bar link? Is it different length?

[@hardlymovingpro]

The boots on both sway bar links were split open. The replacements were the same length. I didn't mention or show that. Good question.

[@blainetransue2259]

Did you replace the sway bar links because they were bad or longer links were required for the lift kit? I've watched the video a few times and if you mention it, I keep missing it.

[@hardlymovingpro]

From my recollection, the lift kit needed new longer links.

[@mtf1911]

Helpful video, what brand of box end ratchet are you using?

[@hardlymovingpro]

It's a brand called Mountain. Went through several different cheaper brands that eventually broke down then I found these used by the pros at the shop. Extremely durable and versatile in tight spots that need torque. I provided a Amazon link in the video description.

[@Ed-sh8jt]

what was that ratchet tool used to remove top nut on shock?

[@hardlymovingpro]

It's a Double Box Universal Spline Reversible Ratcheting Wrench. I provide a link the text description of this video.

[@Ed-sh8jt]

Thanks

[@hardlymovingpro]

@@Ed-sh8jt you bet!

[@rhinoceros356]

What rims are those? I have the same ones on my FJ and want a spare but can't find the manufacturer anywhere.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Can't say. Customer's car.

[@bkl8804]

What tool were you using to get rust off? Thanks!

[@hardlymovingpro]

Rotary wire brush attached to a right angle portable drill.

[@stevenrobinson7747]

How many miles on that vehicle?

[@hardlymovingpro]

A little over 100K miles.

[@dingdongdaddy589]

No spacers? THANK GOD!! 🤣

[@hardlymovingpro]

Did one on a Subaru with spacers. Had to partially drop the subframe to fit them in. And yes, it was a pain.

[@trepaslames]

Idk. It might be me but the rear looks a bit higher

[@hardlymovingpro]

Could be. Springs may take awhile to settle in.
