Another FJ Spring/Shock question

[UpstateSC]

Hello all,
Apologize in advance if this is common knowledge or I missed it while reading numerous threads on converting over to FJ springs and Bilsteins or other shocks. I have a new to me 2007 SR5 4X4 and want to switch it over.
I keep reading to find a set of used FJ springs, I can't seem to find anyone selling them used. So my question is, if I go to one of the OEM Toyota parts sites and order replacement OEM FJ springs for a 07-09 will I get the correct springs that I need? Common sense tells me that would be the case, but maybe I am missing something.
Thanks in advance for any input before I place an order for something that may not be correct.

I think most people watch the FJ forum classifieds until they find something. You will probably pay way too much buying new from and OEM site.

Good luck.

:iagree if ur gonna pay more to order new coils, why not just upgrade a little more to something different.

Agreed, the new ones will set you back over $200 last I checked. I got mine for free off the FJ forum linked to above. Check there, ebay, and craigslist, they pop up very often. Also, any year between 07-09 are the same, 2010's are "beefier" from what hear. Both the 07-09 and 2010 coils are a direct swap (although 2010 shocks are not).

Thanks for the information. I did ask over at the FJ forums and got a couple of offers so I think I may have a line on some. Any input on how many miles would be excessive for a used set?

Make sure they are from a 4X4 FJ, other wise they won't give you the same lift.

Mileage is up to you, I personally looked for a set under 50k.
