spacer lift/FJ spring/5100/Airlift rear combo question

[JD914]

Hello everybody,

I'm about to have my lift installed (mostly by a shop, thanks to a lack of time) and have a lot going on in the rear of my truck that I need clarification on. I'm doing the 5100/FJ swap, but I'm adding a 1.5" rear spacer (to match the top setting on the front Bilsteins) and the Airlift 1000's.
I just want to confirm that all these pieces will work together seamlessly. How much do I need to cut the bump stops?
Thanks in advance for the input!

JD

Thanks, I've got that, but I've read that when using the FJ springs, the cut location is different. And I can use the Airlift with spacers?

im sure u know the airbag basically becomes like part of the bumpstop, i emailed airlft when i installed my bags & they said yes ok to use with spacers & lift springs but never whether or not to cut BS in different place, i suppose u could cut it one section lower so the stop is a bit longer. i know whenever i lifted a vec. in the past i always got longer BS. if i were u, id call & tellem exact spec.s of new coils &/or spacers, since they might suggest a longer bag for ur setup. sorry i couldnt be of more help.

No, that's a big help Chaz. Thanks. I'll do some more research on cutting the BS.

heres a couple threads that may help with info. airlift 1000 - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/65544-airlift-1000-ome-890-rear-coils.html

Right on. I'll plan to cut the bump stop 1/2" below where Air Lift recommends, since the spring is about 1/2" taller than stock.
Thanks for the help everybody.
