4th gen- For all who've done the FJ swap....
 

I'm going to be working on a spreadsheet that compiles a list of members and their suspension setups. My goal is to be able to get some accurate numbers as far as lift gained. So, if you have used any of the FJ parts (coils only, FJ shocks/coils, or aftermarket shocks/FJ coils), please post up the following:
Vehicle Year
Drivetrain (2wd/4wd)
Engine (v6 or v8)
Suspension components used (coils, shock and setting if adjustable like the Bilstein 5100's, and spacer & thickness) front/rear
Year model of the FJ springs used (mainly if it was a 2010 or if it was a previous year model)
Total lift gained (if left/right was different, please average the numbers and just post one number for front and one for rear)

What I have thus far:

Mine:
2003 Limited

Also might want to include if the suspension components came from a 05-09 or a 2010-11, I think the 2 components are different in some ways or atleast OME makes a different suspension for each years.

Yea, wouldn't hurt to include year model, I know the 2010's require modification to fit. Thanks! Once we get a large list together in this post, I'll move it all to a spreadsheet, calculate some formulas, and post that back.

2005 SportEdition
2wd
v8
FJ Coils off a 2007 FJ with 26K miles on them
Bilstein5100s set at 0.85"
Before measurements:

After measurements:

Rear Driver 36 3/8" Rear Passenger 37 1/8"
I ended up gaining a little over 2" in the front and 1.125-1.253" in the rear.

Doesn't have FJ Parts, but you may want to include that the stock 2wd V6 uses a 2" coil spacer to get leveled from stock.

OK, I've got a start on the spreadsheet I'd talked about. What I like about doing it this way is that I can easily search for a particular lift/spacer combo, and also calculate amounts. I ask that you all double check to make sure I got your numbers down correctly. Also, I used formulas to estimate the amount of lift given by the FJ springs alone. The formula I used was the total lift minus spacer size (or lift setting on the 5100's). I edited the original post with the spreadsheet, let me know what you think.
