FJ suspension + Daystar Leveling

[Stuck CAPS]

I'm currently in the process of purchasing the suspension components from an 07 FJ cruiser, and I'm wondering if I can stack the Daystar spacer to level it out in front with the FJ coilovers. Would this create problems, or should I be fine having this all done?

You'll be fine

You'll be fine

Any idea on which spacers I should get after the FJ install?

I did just what you are considering, it worked out nicely. I used the 2/3 spacer kit with FJ springs all around and FJ front OEM Bilsteins. Your rear shocks are going to be at least two inches too short, you will need something else. Put a spacer under the bushings on the stabilizer links as well to give it a bit more reach.

What about the FJ shocks?

What about the FJ shocks?

What about them? I don't understand your question.

There is a dearth of info under the suspension set up info. Just about every combo you could imagine, and then some.

You said my shocks are going to be about 2 inches short. Do you mean the FJ or the Stock T4R ones?

The stockers are too short. I do not know what the dimensions are of the FJ rears, but shocks that are too short are a rear bummer for articulation.

They are listed as 10mm longer, so it wouldn't make much of a difference, I guess.

That isn't enough. I learned years ago to only buy shocks based on the extended and collapsed dimensions. With the spacers and the FJ coils you will need at least two more inches of extended shock length. You will also need to give the sway bar links. There is room on those for a spacer under the attachment hardware essentially making them longer. The brake lines will need a little help too, bending the upper bracket towards the axle gave me just enough.

tbh, they seem more of a PITA than anything, lol. ill look into it more I guess, before a decision
