piecemeal fj spring swap

[Morphyne]

So I have. A somewhat local opp to get rear fj springs and shocks with less than 20k on them. If I got those what would/could I do for the front that makes sense. If anything?

So apparently I can answer my own question. With the adjustable nature of the bistein 5100's if you use those and nothing else. It'll leave your ass end hanging low. Enter the rear fj springs. So if i get bisteians and the fj rear springs i should have a solid setup..

is your t4r a 4x4.. .make sure the fj springs are from 07+ 4x4

My t4r is 4x4. And yes the springs are off of an 07 fj. What luck right?

The 5100s have four settings (0", .85",1.75", 2.5") for lift. With or without fj coils, you can pick the setting you want to keep it level and not have the rear being too low. The rear fj coils will give at most 1/2" lift, so not a huge increase there.If you want to lift the rear, look at the Daystar 1.5" rear spacer, it's about $40.

Ok I thought that with just the bilsteins you would get a low rear end. Any real value to the fj swap in the rear then?

On that not I just measured my runner for lean amx the left rear is a solid inch lower than the right. Any hope that the bilsteins and/or the rear fj spri gs would fix this?
