First, I have extensively read the sticky on the swap (
Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen) and the results from those that have done the swap (
4th gen- For all who've done the FJ swap....) to get familiar with this process.
All the information so far I have read has been excellent, the sticky basically answered all of my questions. I am in somewhat of a unique situation that I have no seen discussed yet, and hoping someone has done something similar so I can see if I need to purchase spacers.
On my 04 4Runner SR5 V6 2WD I will be putting on the OEM FJ Cruiser shock and spring (from a 08 FJ Cruiser 4x4) but leaving the rear springs alone. From the sticky, it was recommended to add a 1/4in spacer (
You are being redirected...) to level the truck, however since I am leaving the rear springs alone and only replacing the front struts with the FJ struts, would I need the spacer as well? I like level or a little bit of rake, just afraid if I am not changing the rear springs that the 1/4 spacer will make it look like it has a somewhat of a Carolina Squat.
Anyone have any pics of a V6 2WD with this setup they can share?
Thanks!
