Lift/leveling suggestions

[MichaelM]

I can't decide what I want to do. I have considered many different options. FJ springs, toytec, cornfed. I mainly just want to level it but don't want to sag ass when I have cargo or towing a light trailer (Probably around 200 lbs + 5 55 lb kayaks). What are your thoughts and suggestions?

FJ springs and shocks and a 1/4 or 1/2 thick spacer works great!

+1, FJ springs with the 1/4" spacer or FJ springs with the 1/2" spacer and airbags for towing, either would level it nicely.

Is it necessary to replace the rear with FJ springs?

 

[chaz]

its better to have all springs matched so they work together, but if ya do the rear air bags u could get away with it. id still match all the shocks tho.

I would do front/rear together. The FJ springs really help sag when towing or loaded down, plus they make the ride better. If I pay close attention, I can't feel the front glide over a small bump, but then I can feel the rear hit it (I just did the front springs, rear I can't do with the OEM rear air suspension).

That's what I figured. I'm assuming air suspension only came on limited?

It was an option on the Limited, I'm not sure if it was available on the other models.

Hmm. Well that makes me wonder then because mine is an sr5 but has a lot of the upgrades. How can I be sure mine does not have air suspension before I get FJ springs?

It doesnt, no model other than the limited was ever offered with it.

You'd know if you have it.
