FJC Daystar spacer

[kai920]

If we can use FJC suspension, why is the FJC Rear 1.5" spacer by Daystar different than the Daystar T4R Rear 1.5 spacer. The rear 1.5" spacer for the FJC is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the 1.5" rear for T4R.

KT09127BK---FJC 1.5 rear

KT09118BK--T4R 1.5 rear

I talked to Daystar and confirmed the actual part number(not the kit # listed above) is different. He said the FJC wouldn't work. WHY? Anyone installed this FJC kit on a T4R. Will it work?

Everything I can find says KT09118BK is 2" not 1.5". Maybe the Daystar guy didn't know it would work?

A lot of Toyota and auto shops don't believe the FJ coil swap works until someone pays them to do it and brings instructions. If they aren't sure it's usually their best bet to just say no it won't work.

I bought the 1.5" 9127BK set at 4WheelParts last year for $34 and they work fine.

This is exactly why we have a forum and I ask questions here. Seems like shops know less and less every time I talk to them. I had 4wheelparts tell me I would have to completely remove XREAS in order to do a lift, that a spacer was not possible because it was all linked to the electronics. Seriously? Dude, they're shocks.

MSU4Runner-was there anything you had to do to make them fit? No modification?
