FJ front coils on 4th gen

[aqua33]

I installed a Readylift 3/2 6 weeks ago and am I very happy with the results. Minus the CV boot issues I had the kit works very well. The rig looks good but I read that the FJ cruiser front coils when installed on the 4th gen gives 3/4" lift. I would like to install the FJ coils along with the Readylift 3" spacer to achieve a near level stance.
My concern is that I read the FJ coils are stiffer and with keeping my stock read coils will the ride and handling be an issue?

I would keep the stock rear coils because I understand the FJ rear coils lift the 4th gen about an inch + and I do not want the rear any higher.

Thanks for you input.

Well I installed the Daystar F&R lifts and the FJC TRD suspension both front and rear and I think it looks great. The ride is a bit firmer but still very plush.

I don think I would just install front FJC suspension as suspension is "tuned" to be F&R.

I have only seen one report of over an inch in the rear. Most, self-included, seem to get .5"-.75" in the rear. I think there will some variation based on what you're taking off. 85k mile, 2005 springs replaced with 2008, 4k mile FJC springs will show a greater lift than taking off new, low-mileage springs and replacing them with new low-mileage springs. Springs sag over time.

I don't know what to tell you other than the FJC springs won't be too stiff. The ride is great. Below 20mph you feel minor imperfections a little more. Above 20mph the ride is better period. Control is better all of the time IMHO.

I do know I rode around with just FJC springs in the front for a while and kicked myself when I finally put the rears on. I should've done all 4 the same day!

Good luck!
