I just bought a New FJ spring/strut set for the front end for $40.50 including shipping. Does anyone know where I can find a cheap set for the rear? I havent found anything on ebay.

Sorry to intrude on your thread, but I had a question regarding the same thing. Is there a certain set of springs/sruts that us 4runner guys need from the FJC? Ive seen different colors, packages, etc discussed on the FJC forums. Which gives the firmer ride and slight lift for the 4runner?

Camdz I dont have a clue, Im going into this project blind. My shocks are shot so I just decided to replace it all cheap with an FJ set up. Hopefully someone can shed some light on your question for us.

The shocks and springs you fellas want are from the 4WD FJ cruiser; they'll give you the slight leveling of the front end and the small overall lift, not to mention the nicer ride.

I just ordered a front and rear FJ suspension for $110 to the door from eBay so It should be installed within the next 2 weeks.

Update: Recieved FJ rear components, Daystar 2.5/1/5 ordered and should be in Friday. Only downside is A$$hole in Washington state has yet to ship my front struts, the auction ended 11 days ago! oh well. If all goes well everything should be done this next tuesday. Will post pics when complete.

Looking forward to the update. I am getting the 4WD Bilstein setup from an FJC guy, but cant decide if I should do spacers also.

It sounds like your leaning towards it, maybe this will push you over the edge, DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!

I almost posted on Tuesday asking for pictures, but figured Id give you some time! Did you get everything put on? My FJC suspension will be here tomorrow, so I will be itching to install it. I'm leaning towards the toytec front leveling kit or the daystar kit you are using. I know they are quite different, but i cant decide.
