FJ Springs with Toytec front spacer question about Articulation Dynamics?

Wild Snapper

New member
I have just ordered up some FJ springs and the 3/4 Toytec spacer for my 04 Runner with Xreas. The FJ springs will provide lift and make the truck taller.
My Question to those in the know is -
Due to the FJ springs being stiffer, will this affect and decrease the suspension's ability to articulate (flex) as easily as the stock 4runner springs?
Will I loose articulation and will the truck become more unstable during off road use? Or because the springs are longer and have more room to move, will it be about the same articulation or better? Thanks

The total wheel travel will most likely remain the same. Other suspension components like struts, shocks, bump stops, swaybars and linkages will need mods to improve travel. The truck will be lifted because the springs, being stiffer, will not compress as much under the vehicle weight. Lets say normally straight out of the factory the vehicle sits right in the middle, so it has an equal amount of compression and extension. When lifted it now has more available compression and less extension.

Yes, the ability to flex as easily will be changed. But this is not necessarily bad. It depends a great deal on the terrain and your driving style/skills.
