After installed will I still be able to use my jack that came with the vehicle? From what I gather the FJ coils should raise the rear about .5". With the 5100s at the .85" setting will the jack still work?
I've also seen a few, but not many say they prefer the ride with the 5100s at the lowest setting. I was initially thinking the .85 lift so I could use 265/70r17s later but would like to keep a bit of rake and don't want to give up too much on the hwy. Thanks in advance for any advice. Best- E

I have 5100s set at the bottom setting with FJ springs, rear springs are stock. I wanted to level the stance a bit.
The higher up you go on the 5100s the more the ride will suffer. The FJ springs are already stiffer and with a v6, like mine, you should get closer to a full inch of lift with just the springs alone. Now, I know the second setting says '.85"'but it's actually closer to 1.5" from what I've read so combined with the FJ springs you're probably looking at 2" or maybe slightly more. You'll probably end up with some slight reversed rake as the rear FJ springs is usually only good for around .5"-.75" of lift over stock.
On a v6, a popular combo is the FJ springs with a 1/4" spacers in the front, it should net you right around 1.5" of lift. Keeping some rake in the stance. I actually bought a pair of 1/4" but ended up not installing them, in hindsight I think I should have. Oh well.
Sorry - I can't help with the jack question.
