How do you determine your Cruiser is North American?
#1
I am replacing my suspension, and whether my '85 FJ60 was made for the North American market or not determines whether I need A/B springs, or two A's (3" lift) or two B's (2" lift.) If I get it wrong, the Land Cruiser will lean. Models from outside North America have a higher lift on the A spring than the B, so that it levels out. North American models don't have the lean problem, so need two equal springs. This is from OME directly.
My FJ60 is made in Japan, and has the designation GXF (as identified by the vin,) which this site states means it was made for outside the U.S. market: http://everythingfj60.com/60-series-buying-guide/ However I bought it in the U.S. and it doesn't have any features identified with foreign models, (sun roof, lean indicator, 3rd row seating, etc.) So maybe it was made in Japan, for the American market? It's left-hand drive. Has anyone encountered this issue? Do I go with the A/B springs, or B/B?
Thanks for any help!
