Decided im going with a TOYTEC lift, buying all the parts listed... extended shocks, coils, and the spacers. then i'm also doing a 2 inch body lift... anyone have any objections to this?

I have bought all the FJ80/BJ + Brackets set up; But I keep reading on other forums that its worthy to purchase a LC spring adaptor plate that sits on the top, or else you can have the spring pop out.

How true is this?

Mine seated quite nice, I don't think they are going anywhere. There is not enough room for them to go anywhere.

i have a few diffrent questions with the fj80 rear coil setup on the second gen 4runner. to clarify a few things.

1. can you use one set of the fj80 coils or do you have to have two off the same side?

2. do you need the panhard bracket? and where can you purchase it?

3. do you need extended brake lines? and where to purchase this?

4. and do the OME 901 hD (i believe that the name) serve the same function (lift wise) as the fj80 coils? and are the same mods necessary to implement them?

just wanted to clear this up because the thread is a little confusing. i know this has been beat to death but i appreicate your responses

thanks

1= you can use one set just make sure that if one spring is taller than the other put the taller spring under the side with the gas tank.
2= you do need to add a panhard bracket which is sold by 4 crawler. http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ngSpacer.shtml
3= you would feel much better if you did put in longer brake lines or else you will severely over stretch your stock ones sorry but you'll need to search for where to get those try marlin
4= and yes they are virtually the same the 901 hd's will be a stiffer ride though which could possibly decrease rear articulation.

So a friend and i split on two sets of fj80 springs. I know have the chioce of either the shorts or the longs. i'm putting in 1.5" bj spacers in the front. I would like the truck as level as possible. Which should i choose?
