Daystar part number help.......

So I purchased a new Front leveling kit 2.5" from a member here. I knew I needed the rear 1.5" to go along with it. I went to 4wheelparts.com and inserted my year and make (2004 sr5 v-6 2wd) and it came back with a $39.99 kit model number Kt09127bk.

Link......Daystar Part daykt09127bk - ComfortRide 1.5 Inch Rear Suspension Coil Spring Spacer Kit

So I bought it online and went to pick it up today and the sticker says its for an FJ.

I knew from all my reading here that there was a possibility it may work....but I didn't want to take the chance of having my truck torn apart and it being wrong. The actual part number needed (Per Daystar) is KT09118bk

Link....Daystar? - Driven by Design

and it is $129. Can anyone please advise me on this matter?

Further more, I had taken the weekend off to replace my LCA and UCA bushings with Energy Suspension replacements and do the front lift at the same time......If I cannot source the rear in time, what is your opinion on moving forward with just the front and getting an alignment and then doing the rear at a later date.....will I need another alignment? Thank you all for your help...any suggestions are also appreciated.

its fine, i have the FJ kit. only difference is the position of the bump stop in the rear.
and any time you change suspension geometry get an alignment. I'd invest in a lifetime alignment program

yeah, there's a thread that details it but basically the kit for the 4r places the bump stop above the spacer while the kit for the FJ retains stock bump stop height and places the stop between the coil and the spacer

that help?
 
Essentially its the same then? And the $40 kit saves me $80......Ok. sounds easy enough. I just didn't want to have everything apart and be left out in the cold. Thanks a ton. I'm glad your experience saves me a meltdown!

yep no problem man, should work out just fine. I'm gonna check on my PN in a sec and see which kit I have exactly

I have the http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GH1PEQ/ref=pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

which is F/R for FJ and no issues.

I'm adding FJ rear springs to mine too, soon, so i hope they fit!

Thank you again. Ironically, I must have searched for about 20 minutes before I posted......then after posting, I continued to search and once I put the part number and 4runner in google......I located about dozen threads regarding the same thing.....thank you nonetheless, your confirmation puts me at ease.
