80 coils

[Mauzer]

You can fit 285's on stock suspension but your gonna probably have to tub the firewall and certainly trim the wheel wells, something you don't seem to want to do. Like skydivingdude said you need to figure out what your going to be using the rig for (rocks, mud, overland/expedition) and build your suspension with that in mind. Don't just lift it for the sake of lifting it.

Oh yeah, and the LC rear shock will work well in the rear but watch your droop cause if I recall correctly the LC shock is longer than the available downtravel so you may unseat the coil. I'm not sure about that b/c I haven't used them but thats my .02

Since the front shock on a LC is a strut I believe common sense tell you that you have to use the rear shock.

My short term plan is overland/expedition. Planning a trip out west next summer with Colorado mountain passes in mind. I may keep it that way but more than likely I will change things up a bit.

80 series LCs have front shocks not struts btw.

FJ cruisers might though. I'm not sure.

Think the OME 60027 shocks will be okay with LC coils? I got a good deal on some.

Yeah, those are the new rear sport shocks right?

Yeah, those are the new rear "sport" shocks right?

They are 2 months old, so I think so. I got them from the classified section here. I hope they are. Thanks Mauzer.

I believe I'm gona order a set of Ironman springs and struts for the front and figure out which LC spring I need for the rear. I like Ironman more than OME atleast when it came to LCs...hope its the same with 4runners.

Anything else to add to this lift so I can order now?
