Opinions on Cornfed 2/1 lift and fj springs front and rear?

[patrickd72]

I was thinking about doing this to my 06 limited. It doesn't have xreas. Not sure if I should just replace the front springs and leave the rear stock or do all four. Just like some thoughts from those who have this or a similar set up.

Cheers,
Patrick

I had a Cornfed 3/1 with FJ springs all around and I liked it quite a bit. It provides a good amount of lift and doesn't ride too badly. I actually just pulled it out today, so if you you are interested just let me know!

I have a similar setup. I went with FJ coilovers and rear springs and shocks with a 1" front spacer lift. It depends on how you like your truck to look, but I would say that going 1.5"-2" more lift in the front makes it look too level. It takes all of the rake out. I am planning on putting in a 1" rear spacer to get that rake back. So, mine will essentially be a 1/1 lift with FJ springs. I would say a 2/2 with FJ springs would look great too.

Search user IronCladLou for some pics. He had a CF2/1 but chose to upgrade to a 2/2. Withe the 2/2, IMHO, his rig looks great. There's one pic here, scroll down http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?t=53054

"Level" on the T4R is a disputed topic. What does your eye prefer? Do you like a level look based on hood/roof or a rocker panel/running board to the ground or equal distance from the top of the tire to the fender opening? Myself (and I think the group that says "too high in the front") tend to look at the rocker panel line and like to see level there when modestly loaded.

Good luck and after you choose & install post some pics Put a quick summary and pic in this thread too http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?t=51742

I did just this! I like it, but it may be a little too tall for my tastes, and I originally really enjoyed my 2/1. Still, the FJ springs are definitely an improvement, and if anything goes, it will be the cornfed, or some cornfed conponents, cause I'm diggin the springs and shocks.
