Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen

I found a guy who had 2013 TRD Tacoma springs with 5K on them. 25$ bucks so i grabbed them.

When i went to pick them up he says " you can take the billstein's too if you want them"

My plan was to run the tacoma springs with 5100's, should i just run the Tacoma billstein's since they only have 5k on them? The shocks are 48510's.

Yes and those will give you 1-1.5" of lift too. Great find!
 
2013 FJ TRD Bilstein set

I have a 2003 4runner and looking to swap out the old stock susp. I don't want a lift, mainly a level and improve ride. I have access to a factory FJ Trail Team Bilstein set up (125.00), just all 4 shocks so I will need to buy the front coils.

Will the 2013 FJ set be a pretty direct swap onto my 2003? If not anyone have a write up on the mod needed to make it work.

Yup, slide right in. Will ride much better too.

Coils will fit. The shocks will require modification.
 
Can someone confirm which side goes where? I know there's tape on rear ones, but just want to make sure I do it right the first time. No tape on front ones so don't want to guess or miscount coils. TIA.

Correct- the longer one on the right is the driver front. The rears are identical, so it may not be a bad idea to reverse them since the driver side rear would have gotten more weight on it on the FJ, and will now get more weight on your 4runner.
 
Ok got a question for the fj springs pros:

I'm currently using a Daystar 2.5/1.5 and planning to go fj springs front and back with 5100s all around set at highest setting 2.5

Right now with Daystar my driver rear is 1.25" lower than the passenger rear.

would this be a good level lift with the 5100s(@2.5), fj springs, and daystar 1.5" spacers in the rear? Or would this leave the rear too low compared to the front?

could also add the toytec 10mm lvling spacer to the driver rear if needed.

Just looking for a nice cheap lift that will net me more than the daystar I have now, I dont do any offroading.

Thanks in advance

Considering the same exact setup and wondering this as well. Tough to know exactly based on the sag of the used FJ springs
 
Just ordered my 5100's and the 2007 FJ coils for my sons surprise. He has no idea I'm going to give him my 4runner with the new look. No more daddy wagon. I still will be ordering the daystar 1.5 spacer and learn how to instal this as I'm now broke. My buddy has all the tools, so I gotta do some serious reviewing of the install. I've never done this before, but I will give it a try. Thanks to all who helped me out, and I can assure you you WILL be hearing from me on the install....lol
