Confused About FJ Lift

[T4R916]

So I am planning to lift my 06 4runner with the stock FJ coil springs with Bilstein 5100 shocks...my question is, Do i need spacers for the front to level it out even though the Bilstein are height adjustable?

 

[SMEE]

Nah man. Just crank up those 5100's. You don't need the spacers if you're using 5100's.
I am unsure of the proper height setting for leveling you out though, maybe someone else will chime in.

Got it. thanks.

no, you will adjust the height on the shock and there is room even to make it nose-high

i did a 1" spacer in the rear and 1.75 up front settled nicely for me. which makes me think .85 is the way to go, but i'm not 100%. surely it is somewhere in the fj sticky

.85 with the FJs will get you darn close to level with no spacers in the rear.

FJ Springs all around and 5100's front set at 1.75. No Spacers.:drummer:

Thanks for the help guys.

If you don't have any springs, check out some MOOGs from RockAuto. I love em to death, they're super cheap, and are all around great springs of and off road. Only advice would be to paint them one more time before installation to ensure rust free use.
