FJ Springs on 2003 4R sport

[Milam]

Would like to get the pros and cons of adding FJ springs to my 03' Sport w/ XREAS. How will this change the ride of of my 4R?

Pros-small amount of lift, improved ride quality (small bumps in the road aren't felt anymore, larger bumps are less harsh), and cheap
Cons-none that I'm aware of

Just be sure to get 4x4 springs, they are different than the 2x4 ones.

:iagree: w/ Ark. Great info thread here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/suspension/78803-compiled-fj-springs-lift-info-4th-gen.html

No regrets changing to FJ springs here. Ride is much better, I also removed XREAS, which i am glad.

ARK and CJ3 thanks for the suggestion to swap sides with coilovers, I know have 1/4 difference in left/right vs the 3/4 that looked funny. Love it now... (must have been opposite day at toyota with my springs, the colors are opposite of everyone else's)

I've done some research on here about the FJ Springs but want to make sure I wouldn't run into any problems if I put them on the XREAS.

I haven't heard of any issues... I'm adding FJ coils to my XREAS and I've done a bunch of research. My 4Runner still feels new and tight so my XREAS is working just fine with 71k miles on it and I'm planning to keep it until they start to go bad. At that point, I'll get the Bilstein 5100 series.

From everything that I've read, doing the FJ coil swap seems to be the biggest bang for your suspension buck!

Good Luck!
