Daystar 2.5/1.5 + FJ swap Questions

[A_HuL]

Alright guys gotta couple questions about this combo.
First things first. I have a Daystar 2.5/1.5 and i am getting FJ coils and shocks for the runner. The full setup. My first question is once you install the FJ suspension do you need anything extra, like extensions on anything? Dont know the specifics cause i dont know much about lifts when doing it myself.
Next question. With this combo can you fit 33" tires? If so what is the size of the tire with 17" rim? I know its 285/..../17. Also What is the size for a 18" rim. Please help me out guys
Thanks a lot.

No worries. Hey I can't remember if you got them or not but did you end up getting leather seat covers?

I was going to go with a similar set up. Did you ever find out if you would need extensions or relocates, etc.?

It's a plug and play swap. You don't need anything other than time to swap the springs.

Key note is that the front spring are two different sizes. One is a tad bit taller and that one goes on the drivers front.
Other than that, it's a piece of cake.

I am talking about going with the fj complete swap and the springs along with the daystar kit like A_HuL. It would net about 3.5 inches so i am questioning whether the cv angles would be off enough to need like relocates or extensions? (stuff that toytec sells)

You wont get over 3" up front. Have you had time to look thru this thread from ARK SWAMP RIDER?

He has compiled lots of info on those that have done the FJ swap.

You wont need anything other than the springs and shocks, if you desire to use the shocks. I didn't notice an over whelming difference in the shocks.
Having said that, I have done quite a few fj swaps with and with out spacers added here at the homestead and have not found anyone needed anything aftermarket for relocating anything, anywhere.

Check the thread I listed and see if it helps you any.

Thats my best 2 cents worth

Thats good to know on the spring height. Can you see the difference pretty easy?

i think you can count the coils... i think, the drivers side has 9 and the passenger side has 8....not sure on the coil numbers, but i read somewhere that the drivers side has 1 more coil than the passenger.
