Thanks guys!

I swapped my '05 V8 4th gen springs for barely used 2013 SR5 springs.
The
result is nearly identical to what is produced when the swap is FJ springs. Spring rate is apparently the same or very close between 5th and FJ (and 4th). Length (5th and FJ) seems to be the same in front, slightly shorter in the rear, perhaps as much as half an inch.
See my discussion with thebwlife in
this thread. His information ended up being dead on.
You'd think this would be something you should learn from the 4th Gen Suspension Options FAQ but my suggestion to that effect fell on deaf ears.
