Another fj80 coil swap question?
I'm wanting to do the easy lift for now an install bj spacers an fj80 coils but I was wondering if someone could tell me what's all involved with installing the coils as far as do I have to drop the axle damn near for coils to squeeze in an what length of shocks should I run in to get maximum flex use from the coils due explain

Remove brake line, sway bar end links, shocks, pan hard bar (at the frame mount, and install a drop kit while you're at it) and let the axle drop. I can't think of anything else attached to it that wouldn't allow it to drop enough to just take out the old coils and put new ones in. FYI I haven't done this quite yet but I've been researching it a disgusting amount of hours for months 
Tall and solid jack stands. I need those as well.

Ah, a misunderstanding on my part as when I think of dropping the axle I also think of disconnecting the upper and lower control arms, driveshaft and e-brake cable on top of what I mentioned before, removing the axle completely. You won't need to go that far.
