So those would fit on my 2005 SR5 4WD with Cornfed 2/1? It included the year 2010, so I'm a little confused because I know that's the one hang-up.

Color splotches on rear FJ Coils?
What paint colors are used to mark the rear coils on FJs? Below is a photo of an item that is being identified as 2013 rear 4x4 FJ suspension springs, can anyone confirm or deny this claim? Thanks you my brothers.

Hold up on order. I just got info that the fj springs may in fact lift the rear a full two inches on their own. I won't know until next saturday if this is true or not.

Did my FJ springs and Cornfed 2/1 on Friday along with some General Grabber 275/65/18 and Spidertrax all around , 1" differential drop and custom rear end links,, I'm extremely happy with how it turned out!!!
Install went well I did at my buddy's shop who helped me with it. Was actually a lot easier then we expected, definitely helps to have a good shop with availability to great tools! We did the no spring compressed method and kept the shocks in tact as I maintained and am still running my Xreas. Only issue we ran into was the Ball Joint nut on the drivers was seized up pretty good ( again acces to good/the right tools) just broke out the torch and that was that!
All in all I very Happy with the amount of lift I got it was exactly what I wanted for now until I get a complete coil over lift set up, once the Xreas goes or I get bored and want to upgrade whichever comes first haha. I didn't do exact measurements yet but it looks like I got between 2-1/2 to 3" in the front and about 1-1/2 in the rear which is exactly what I was going for for now.
Here are a few crappy cell phone pics for now , we after dark and it's been freezing cold this weekend , I'm going to take some better ones and start my mild thread as soon as I get a chance. I also did get to take it on a couple trails yesterday and get it dirty, wish I got some pics, bit it did really well and the suspension felt great!!!
Getting alignment
The back still sits up a little higher than the front although in some these pics it doesn't look it but this driveway is on a slant so I have to get some good flat/level pics

hoping you guys can help me out, i just ordered 4 5100's, and I've got fj coils waiting to go on them. if anyone has a picture of the assembled front strut, particularly of the top hat and bushings, that would be much appreciated!

I will measure when I get home from work. Would you still recommend the moogs after the rear fitment issue?

[MENTION=87539]wnelax04sr5[/MENTION]take a look at my build thread, click on the link in my sig (scroll down a bit to get to the lift part). My FJ Springs & 5100's assembled & installed in the truck. You can see the top hat, bushing and the top washer (I thought you couldn't see the bushing but you clearly can).
Other than the spring it was a pretty easy job!

Just took measurements from my stock 2006 SR5. Looks like it's about 33" front and 36" back. I had the tape measure running through the center of the wheel all the way to the ground.
