FJ coils on a 4runner? #864045 01/26/08 10:05 PM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I am going to lift my runner soon using ball joint spacers in the front. I have read several places that the coil springs from a land cruiser (fj80 I believe) can be used the in the rear for some lift. I haven't read anywhere how much lift you can get from this. I am looking for about 2" in the rear to level the truck. The only reason I would use these coils, is because I can get them from a friend who lifted his FJ and doesn't need them. If they aren't enough, I will just get the coil spacers from 4crawler along with the bj spacers. I appreciate any input on this.

Its more like 3-4" of lift. You would have to cut a coil or 2 out of the coils to get just 2".

If you want 2", get some OME springs from www.4x4connection.com

I'd get the heavy duty coils.

4Crawler sells the BJ spacers

Yep, 4crawler is where I'm gettin my bj spacers, and coil spacers. I'll save the FJ coils for when I do a complete 4" lift to match the front one day.
