Heavy Duty "Hell for Stout™ " Lifts with "Soft Ride"

Tires are BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrain T/As (33" x 10½" x 15") mounted on factory wheels.
HFS™ Springs are designed and fitted exclusively for the Vintage Land Cruiser!
HFS™ springs have superior design features to Lift and Soften Ride.
HFS™ Springs are engineered slightly longer to push shackles out and away from axels allowing shackles to swing as springs flex. Proper spring shackle angle creates a much softer ride, reduced leaf stress and improves spring durability.
To maintain the "Ideal Shackle Angle" requires a much heavier and beefier spring stack.
HFS™ Lift Springs are known to be Heavier and "Softer" riding than any other Land Cruiser Lift Spring on the Market.
NEW ! and In the Kit !!!...CCOT Exclusive - HFS polyurethane spring bushings that are engineered for heavy off-road use, control, long life and comfort. You will feel the difference in positive handling and control of the new HFS Poly bushing. HFS Poly bushings have a shore A durometer rating of 80 and tensile strength near 5000psi. The typical durometer measurement will vary between 65 (soft) and 88 (hard). The typical bushing tensile strength measurement should not be lower than 2500 psi. Suspension engineers concocted the proprietary HFS urethane formula to work in combinations with heavy duty HFS leaf springs that require more wheel articulation / travel and comfort for street use. HFS polyurethane spring bushings have grease grooves to uniformly distribute grease across the entire inner bushing surface.

Note: The "HFS™ Leveler Block" included in this kit, cures the Driver's Side Lean of most FJ40s. CCOT designed and extensively tested our HFS Leveler Block FORMULA on many FJ40s. We found that our HFS Leveler Block cured the lean on all test vehicles. Block is pre-installed on top of the rear passenger's side spring stack. The "Leveler Block" is an exclusive CCOT product.
Mount Front Springs with long side away or out from axle.
Mount Rear Springs with long side away or out from axle and Leveler Block spring on right rear side.
HFS Springs are "Lift Springs" not "Overload Springs".
The "HFS™ Designer Lift" Gives the Customer individual control of their desired lift height.
The final lift height is controlled by the shackles that Customers choose.
If Customer chooses the 1½" HFS™ "Barbell Shackle", then their lift height (over stock) will be approximately 3¼"
If Customer chooses the 2½" HFS™ Barbell Shackle", then their lift height (over stock) will be approximately 3¾"

Radically improve the steering and control of your FJ40 while taking on a much stronger look with CCOT's exclusive Shackle Reversal and 4" HFS Lift Combo. Reversing the front shackles and lifting your stock FJ40 to stand 3 to 4" taller, in our opinion, will be the best money ever spent to improve the overall look, function, control, safety and the pleasure of driving your 40 series.
The 40 series factory suspension has the flexible spring shackle in the forward position of the front axle (behind the front bumper), therefore when the front tire collides with an obstacle, the energy of the impact travels rearward through the front spring to the solid spring hanger and then through the frame. As a result, control of the vehicle is greatly compromised. Reversing the locations of the solid rear spring hanger to the front of the front axle and relocating the flexible spring hanger to the rear of the front axle allows the impact of an obstacle to be better absorbed through the spring and the rear shackle, suspension. Swapping the front axle shackle locations creates a more natural suspension flow over the obstacle and at higher speeds, you'll experience a smoother ride and greatly improved control and handling. Your 40 series (with good tires) will unmistakably have greater control on the highway with less wandering, rutting or road walking. You will experience much greater steering control when hitting the brakes at higher speeds with CCOT's Suspension Correction Kit.
CCOT's exclusive Shackle Reversal and 4" HFS Lift Combo consists of all items shown in photo. Note: Kit includes 4" HFS lift springs on the rear and 2" HFS lift springs on the front. The kit's taller solid front spring hanger levels the offset between the spring heights of the front and rear axles. We believe at the heart of CCOT's Shackle Reversal System (that improves driving stability and control) is the combination 4" springs on the rear and stiffer 2" HFS springs mounted on the front. The integration of the taller and stiffer solid front spring hanger and the stiffer front 2" springs increases control and stability when the front tire collides with an obstacle. The rear 4" HFS lift springs better absorb the impact while delivering a comfortable ride to passengers. Shocks and U-bolts sold separately.
NOTE: System will add $82.00 to base price for kit that fits 8/'80 to 1984.
This kit is for trucks that already have suspension correction front Reversal Spring Hangers installed.
2ea. Front HFS lift springs have 2.5" of lift.
2ea. Rear HFS Extreme lift springs have 4" of lift.
This HFS spring combination will greatly counter the unlevel vehicle effect (high in front / low in rear) caused by the shackle reversal of the Suspension Correction Kit.
HFS Suspension Correction Lift Spring kits fit FJ40 & BJ40/42. Lift height may vary depending on set-up.
All HFS Springs have stock spring eyes diameter, bushing size and pin diameter.
HFS Lift Springs are "Softer" riding than any other FJ40 Lift Spring.

(24) Imperial Black Graphite Rubber Spring Bushings... Bushings are composed of Natural Rubber (NR) + Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) + 5% Graphite producing an OEM style bushing that is shockproof, heat resistant, oil resistant and longer wearing than OEM. CCOT's New Imperial Graphite Rubber Spring Bushings deliver a softer and squeakless ride.

"HFS Leveler Block Pre-Installed on Passenger-side (right) Spring:" Cure the Driver's Side Lean of most FJ40s. CCOT designed and extensively tested our HFS Leveler Block FORMULA on many FJ40s.

"HFS Leveler Block" cures the Driver's Side Lean of most FJ40s. Leans vary from Cruiser to Cruiser depending on spring age and type. CCOT designed and extensively tested our HFS Leveler Block FORMULA on many FJ40s. We found that our HFS Leveler Block cured the lean on all test vehicles with new springs. Block w/Pin (4" x 3/8") installs on top of the rear passenger's side spring stack. Add HFS Leveler Block to top of spring stack (like an additional top leaf) and bolt down with spring center pin.
Note: The leveler block pin head diameter is 9/16"
The threaded pin bolt diameter is 3/8"The "Leveler Block" is an exclusive CCOT product.
Note: One Customer with a 1964 FJ40 had a lean on the Passenger's side (instead of the Driver's side) and had to install his leveler block on the rear Driver's side to level his vehicle. In his case, the rear spare tire rack was on the Passenger's side (opposite of later models) instead of the Driver's side. So, the theory is that the block installs on the rear spring on the opposite side of the lean and in his case the opposite side of his rear tire rack. Blue FJ40 pictured below has CCOT Leveler Block installed.
