Seriously you need to show some proof. Post some actual pics of the setup.

Front: Tacome 5100 paired with Stock 4runner coils. Notice the CV leakage any advice how to fix this???

It looks like that inner cv boot doesn't even have a clamp on it.

 

[Rippen777]

Your right, I just double checked them both and they are GONE!! Local parts store carry these? Shit! Why didn't I see this before??

Yes local parts stores will have them but you will also need the tools to clamp them. I'd just get some thin coolant hose clamps the worm screw style and use them.

The shocks will work fine. You may need to extend the bumpstop but thats about it.

The rear coils will kinda fit but they are a larger diameter than the 3rd gen ones so they aren't ideal. I bet if you look at the spring perch on the axle, its not fully seated properly.

Does anyone know if the fj comes with a rubber top hat bumpstop like the later 4runners?

 

[Rippen777]

I picked up a few packs from O'rileys. No special tool, just some vice grips. We'll see if that does the trick, I'm still going to order a Diff drop kit from Toytec.

I have to swing buy a scrap yard and grab some longer bump stops. The coil is seated fine. Even the stock bumpers sat in there flush with the coil.

... I was looking at alternatives to 906 coils.

Interested in hub to fender measurements on the rear ...

:roll:

Correction*** I DID NOT use FJ coils in the front. They are stock(Semi New) 4runner coils.. Man it looks like I confused the Hell outta y'all!! Sorry!!

Ok I see the post now.

 

[Rippen777]

Ill get those when i get off work.

:roll:

Just measured again here at work on level ground.

FRONT: 22 3/4 from center hub to bottom of fender.

REAR: 22 1/4 from center hub to bottom of fender. With slight sag on the drivers rear side, I believe due to fuel tank being on the same side, ive heard its a 3rd gen thing.

Im having slight vibs in the front end at around 50-70MPH. not sure whats causing it, Allignment was done the day after the lift. Tires are brand new. Ill have to try and figure it out this weekend.

This is the one I knew about that was done some time ago - when I was looking at alternatives to 906 coils.

Interested in hub to fender measurements on the rear coils. Also interested in how it feels on FS roads at ~35.

well I was super disappointed! It looks good but I was expecting a whole fj axle swap so you would have an e locker with working disk brakes!!!!

 

[Rippen777]

umm... Sorry? hahaha, I have the E-locker but no Disk brakes. :crybaby:
