Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series SuspensIon Upgrade

In todays video the Toyota Land cruiser finally makes it to the shop for a suspension upgrade. I ended up going with the ARB 4X4 Old Man Emu 2.5. We ended up gaining about 2 inches overall and the ride quality improved.
Up next wheels and tires.

That's going to be a badass rig!!!

[@J.Young808]

Hey George your 80 skipped leg day 😂

[@Vichofeo12]

Congratulations on the first step of what's to be an entertaining journey!

[@steviehernandez158]

Can't wait to see what wheels n tires come next ! 😊

[@TheSenorChavez]

did they extend the Rear Sway bar Drop Brackets? There's a bit more than just putting in the hardware.

[@Mark-Dibble]

Not required on 80 series cruisers when lifted less than 3 inches. Stock brake lines and drive shafts are also plenty long for the lift too.

[@TheSenorChavez]

@@Mark-Dibble IMHO, you should really extend them, it needs to sit in a happier angle or the bushings are wasted in short order.

Bro finally got delivery on my 2023 tundra, plan on getting my alucab from tiny rig, and plan on getting a icon suspension system from their headquarters in riverside.

I have the OME 2” lift both heavies front and back rides nice did a 30mm coil spacer up front to level her out next I’m gonna go with 4” Dobinsons

[@bustabeatgeorge]

Nice! Dobinsons was a little out of my budget, maybe in the near future

[@margehernandez9902]

Nice!!!

[@shootandcruise]

It probably rides higher too because you don’t have any weight on it if they’re the “heavy” set on the springs.

[@motogp2375]

Nice bro!! I have the 40th Anniversary. Thinking of doing the same. How much did the part cost you? Thanks!

[@lmalesci]

I have a question for you 4x4 industry experts! (and I wonder if you can tell me if it's true that the ironman nitro gas shocks match well with the original setup and can be retrofitted with the +5? I have a suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a 1.3 l gas engine with shock absorbers and standard settings, yesterday afternoon I bought the new ironman nitro gas shock absorbers and the 4x4 spare parts dealer in Florence told me that these ironman nitro gas shock absorbers are suitable for 4x4 off-road vehicles with original finish or in a second you could put the springs higher and it would become a +5 high finish, is that true? Greetings from Florence, Italy!)

[@LordNykon75]

Did you install off set bushings for radius arms??

[@bustabeatgeorge]

Yes they did

[@mannyencinas187]

Where is this located and what’s the name of the business ? I looked up “ Tiny Redcoat “ on google and other than this shop came ip

[@J.Young808]

Tiny Rig Co.
plus info is in the description

[@24hrstolive27]

Did he ever say how much he bought truck for

[@bustabeatgeorge]

I didn’t

[@24hrstolive27]

@@bustabeatgeorge would u be able too so we can gage in case someone is looking as well

[@bustabeatgeorge]

@@24hrstolive27 I paid 7.5 for it, hope it helps

[@greymatter6834]

Which Ome springs exactly? I have the 850 heavy with Arb in front, the 860 mediums at rear, constant 300 lbs of gear. Still rides like a HD truck! The nitro charger shocks are really firm to imo. Suspension settled down around 1/4 inch after a month.
If I had to do it over, definitely dual rate coils, at minimum on front.
After 5 years still a rough ride on the street. 35s at 30 psi do help soften it up. Off road is great tho! It does corner like a rally car which is fun. I had exactly 1900 pounds of concrete block, just touching the factory bump stops. 80s are simply the best all around vehicle on Earth! ✌🏽

[@bustabeatgeorge]

I’ll look into the 35s since up next is tires. Thanks for the help, this Toyota is by far my favorite vehicle to date
