Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen

[Bigshankhank]

Edit by Mod:
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. 2WD springs will fit as well, but will not yield the same results.

I managed to salvage a set of springs from an 07 2WD FJ and without digging through 50+ pages of this thread, what’s does “will not yield the same results” mean? Not the same amount of lift? By how much? I have searched multiple places and nothing really clarifies this caveat. If it’s less overall lift, couldn’t that be compensated by pucks?
Thanks for the help, my poor Runner is still on its factory original shocks and I think after 330,000 miles it may be getting close to time to think about planning to replace them. May as well do a budget lift at the same time.

Sr5 4x4

I have a 2007 SR5 V6 4X4.

Does anyone have photos of simply 5100s set at 0.85" with only FJ springs front and rear? I am not looking to run spacers.

Without any spacers, what would this set up yield? I am looking for a slight rake toward the front.

Bilstein 5100s+FJ springs done

I just got a set of FJ springs and I'm planning on getting 5100's as well. This thread shows what you're looking for I believe and what I'll be setting mine to also.

FJ/GX Suspension Components on '03 V8

Hello,

There's someone local selling front and rear suspension components off a 2015 GX460 with 60k miles for very cheap. They claim it's plug n play with all FJs and 03+ T4R. But, I think I read the bushings on the rear shock are different. Is that right?

At any rate, they are genuine OEM parts. I'm certain it will be a significant improvement over my 185k mile, 21 year old parts. Worth the price of admission for me.

I'm also considering OEM UCAs/struts in front and RC N3s + Wheeler's T13 on rear.

My goal is to gain some height and comfort and clear 32-33s on my 17x7.5 FJ factory wheels.

I'm going to keep reading threads, but I wanted to post here since it's specific to potential FJ/GX to T4R suspension.

Any insights regarding the compatibility/gain of the GX parts (rear shock)? Thoughts on OEM GX rear springs vs Wheeler's T13?

I'll be doing the workmthis weekend.

Thanks, KG

My rig. Bilstein 5100's, 2012 FJ springs off a 4 wheel drive model, small spacers in back and 3rd perch up front. I've been very happy with the height and ride quality.

I need to find my original post here, so I am glad it popped up. I still have the FJ TRD suspension (shocks/coils) but am going back to stock after however many years. Of course, I did not save my old stuff but picked up new shocks/coils/UCAs.

The 4R does not see offroad duty at all since I have owned Rubicons for 10+ years now and with KO2s the ride is a bit too stiff anyway.
