FJ Cruiser OEM Front & Rear Coils + Cornfed 3/2" Lift Kit Inquiry

[crazydubman]

i am running spacers in the rear but not the front due to rubbing. when the front body mount gets chopped i will be reinstalling the front spacers and see how it works out. i just know when i look at my truck from the side there is a very noticable difference in fender to tire gap front and rear. i think the FJ springs might help with leveling it just a bit more. maybe its because i have a v8. not really sure though. anyone have a line on the fronts?

Well upon looking closer, you can see that he is parked on a slant (look at bricks on the house behind the truck) and this would make the front sit higher than it normally does.

The pics of that 3/2 kit are on stock 17's.

Hey Blair-

Did you get FJ Springs off a 4x4 or 4x2 FJ? I guess they have two different part numbers.......I don't know if it would matter I'm guessing the 4x4 springs are a little tougher and hold the extra weight...Do you think it matters?

I think it does matter. I have 4wd FJC springs. My guess is the 2wd ones are a bit shorter. The 2wd FJC's sit lower than the 4wd ones. We have a fair number of 2wd FJC's in my area and you can see the difference in stance.

Thats what I figured, thanks chris.....

Yeah I also have the 4wd springs, I am pretty sure I read that the 4x2 were totally different and would not yield the same results...

my current setup is a corned 3/2 lift with 295/70/17 terra grabbers

spidertrax in the rear but not front because of contact with the body mount.

without the spacers im getting a tad bit of rubbing on the mount when i enter driveways with the wheels turned. i know its not the inner fender liner.

here are a few pictures of my setup.

as you can see the front still sits quite low compared to the rear. if nothing else i think FJ's in teh front would help with lvling it out.

What type and size tires did you put on there, i am interested in putting bigger tires but not too big, the ones you have on there look perfect.

How would one determine if the FJ springs they purchased are from a 4 or 2 wheel drive FJ?

Probably the easiest thing to do is measure... FJC Front Springs: Approx. 13.8125

Just want to let you all know we are expaning the Cornfed operation and should be able to get the lift kits out much quicker in the future. While I can sell ANY KIT, I still think the Cornfed is one of the best, and built by guys that have owned 4Runner since the beginning.
