Lift/Spacer quick quesion

[12guns]

I know spacers and lifts are beat to death around here...but after all my searching and reading, I still have a couple questions.
I have an 05' V8 Sport 4x4 w/ Xreas. Looking to lift the front 2" and the rear 1". Do the daystar spacers come in that size? I couldn't find it. I like the new daystar spacers b/c you don't have to compress the coil to install them. Looking for a quick easy install. I'm fine w/ another brand, just don't know if they are as easy to install as the daystar. There's some great looking rigs running 2.5/1.5 daystar lifts, but I'm not sure if I want to go that big. I'm already running 265/70r17 tires, so either way they should look good w/ a couple inches lift on the front and a more level rear. How about FJ springs for the rear? Will I have a stiffer ride along w/ the lift I'm looking for? I know I can get rid of my Xras entirely, but don't want to spend the money right now. I'm open to suggestions, thanks for the help.

I did the FJ suspension and a toytec topout spacer in the front. I wanted to level the truck out a little and also the upgrade in ride quality. This combo gave me a 2/1 and looks great with the new 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Its not a "lifted" look but gives it the wheel gap that it should have. Its a night and day difference when parked next to a stock 4runner.

Did you buy all struts and rear coils used off a FJ? What size spacer in the front? Did a 2" give you 2"? I've been reading that the daystar gives you more lift than advertised. I like the 2/1 idea. So the rear FJ coils give you a touch lift by themselves right?

On the front, you gain double the spacer size as lift. The Toytec spacer is 1/2" of material and should yeild 1" of lift. The FJC setup gives anywhere from .5-.75" of lift on the front, and I *think* .5" on the rear, although the way I read the post it looks like he gained a inch on the rear. I'm going to run the exact same setup on the front (can't touch the rear due to the air suspension), and agree it should look perfect.

Sorry for the late response.

Yes I got the complete bilstein setup (all 4 corners) off of the FJ Cruiser forums. The front spacer is 1/2" thick and yields 1" of lift. Its the Toytec top out spacer. I got JUST under 1" in the back and right at 2" in the front with this setup. So it looks like the FJ suspension gave me about .75-1" all the way around by itself. Its exactly what I was looking for.
