FJ suspension swap out.

[ccvortex]

Hi all, 2006 SR5 and wanting to do the FJ suspension upgrade but am confused as to which I should buy.

I found these shocks:
Bilstein - KYB - Rancho - Monroe - Edelbrock Automotive Truck Shocks and Struts - Shockwarehouse.com
4600 Heavy Duty (B6), is this the correct pair?

Or are these better?

Then for springs I found these:

Both the shocks and springs are for the TRD Special Edition... should I be using the Base model FJ instead?

Thx all

Depends on how much you want to spend and usage. I have the 5100 billies and 4x4 fj springs with intention to offroad. It will give it some lift front and back. You can look at my garage if you like the stands. I been happy with it and rides nicer than stocks. A lot of guys run the billies and FJ springs on the forum.

Thanks for the reply, I was just wondering if the parts I listed are compatible. I want to get the whole truck up about 1.5 inches and level it out. Are the springs and shocks I listed compatible for this?

I can only comment on the billies, kyb and fj coils. They're compatible. Billies and the moogs are compatible.

OK, thanks. So as far as you know selecting parts for the FJ Cruiser TRD SE model is OK (as opposed to the FJ Base Model)?

Check out totalautomotiveperformance.com for the bilsteins and rock auto for the springs. You'll save money. I did that exact thing. Search painkiller for my build tread and you will see a 4runner on bilsteins and moogs.

Did you get the 288* or 289* springs?
