Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen

Got some 07 fj springs finally and paring with blistein 5100 all around. Also because i heard there is a lean, i did get a toyotec 1/4 spacer and 10mm OME for the driver side.

with the shocks being set at 1.75 will this make my ride leveled out?
 
Front 5100s set to 1.75 with Moog springs front and rear. 4wd FJ Moog in the front and 81045 Moog in the rear (oe replacement for the 4Runner) to pair with the rear 5100s. Added 1.5” daystar spacers in the rear to level it out. Ended up with a one inch rake when measured at the wheel wells. It rides great on the 265 70 17s on 2016 SR5 wheels. It aligned ok.

What size spacer would you guys recommend for 16 stock wheels with the blisten 1500 and moog fj springs? I plan on doing a 1.75 lift in the front.
 
"any set from an 07-09 4x4 FJ will be a direct replacement for any 03-09 4runner, but those from 2010's require some slight modification"

what is the required modification for the 2010 FJ springs? btw - I am going to try the 2010 FJ TT springs/shocks on a 5th Gen 4R.

thanks


I have a 04 with 2012 FJ springs, Bilstein 5100 and 1 inch spacer. Where should I put the spring perch adjustment on the 5100? Theres 4 adjustment, and want a comfort ride with a decent lift. Any suggestion would be great thanks.
 
A friend of mine just upgraded his 2013 FJ's suspension and offered me his coils and shocks. Am I right in thinking that the coils will work for my 2006 V8 4runner. I just need to get the adjustable 5100 billstiens. It sounds like the coil fitment issues is with only the moog coils on occasion, or am I wrong. Just looking for clarity here.

Thanks T4r!

Jason,

You are correct, they will fit your rig. Just make sure they are the 4x4 FJ Cruiser springs (I assume your friend's FJ is a 4x4) to fit your 4x4 4runner. Also, make sure you keep track of the front driver side spring, it is sprung slightly more than the passenger side front, so you will want to put them on the correct side. I have the moog springs and they do not slot perfectly into their bottom mounts, you are correct, but it doesn't bother me (it does bother some, understandable) and it has not affected performance at all, on road or off. You won't have that problem, if it is a problem, with the FJ oem springs.

Thank you!
 
What can i do to get a 3/2 lift out of some fj springs? Someone said they have 3/2 with just 5100s and fj springs. Is that common, or are spacers usually required? I want to be able to fit some 275/70R17s
