Leaf springs are a proven suspension design, but limit travel, absorption, and wheel base too much for some tastes. For this reason, Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers offers several different Linked Suspension options for Land Cruisers.

List of Suspension options for Land Cruisers
For Land Cruiser owners who want ultimate off road performance, extended wheelbase, and extreme suspension travel, we offer our Long Travel 4 link suspensions. Only available when fully installed, we can accommodate most any axle choice. We also offer a variety of choices to suspend your Land Cruiser ranging from quarter elliptic to coils and coil-overs.
Rear Long Travel 4 link suspensions are our most popular and are often combined with our SOA (spring over axle) front suspension. An SOA front 4 Link rear 40 series Land Cruiser drives very well at high speeds, and outperforms most other drive-able rigs on the trail.
Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers also offers a 3 link front 5 link rear suspension for high speed use and comfort. The rear suspension is the only one we offer that works with 79 and later 40 series Land Cruisers with the factory tank under the body. Ride height is increased by 4 inches or more with this suspension, but it can be modified to provide only 2 inches of lift. This suspension allows for increases wheelbase up to 6 inches in the front and 12 inches in the rear.

The front uses FJ80 radius arms and all new bracketry. The front of the Land Cruiser is suspended using 12″ travel coilover shocks. The rear is a parallel 4 link with a panhard bar. Suspension is provided by coil springs and separate shocks. This suspension allows for increases wheelbase up to 6 inches in the front and 12 inches in the rear.
