It will give you about 1 inch of lift in the front with a stock bumper, the FJ springs will give you like 4 inches in the back. If you use short side Cruiser coils it might work pretty good..otherwise the back will be higher..

Mine with BJ spacers and Cruiser coils

the reason i was asking is because im getting ready to purchase the coils and spacers,and i wanted to know if it was going to do what i wanted.i have 1.5" lift coils with 1.5"coil spacers in the rear,and i have the front cranked up to match.so basically all im wanting to do is use the bj spacers to ease off the torsion bars a little,and do away with the coil spacers in the back,plus maybe gain a little in the height off my ride.also im not sure if i need to install longer shocks?can anyone tell me if this setup would possibly work out for what i am wanting?is there any other hidden problems that i should be aware of before buying?any info would be of great help,thanks

did you get longer shocks when you installed the 1.5" lift coils and 1.5" coil spacers? I would imagine that if you did you would be fine. Also an extended brake line is needed if you don't already have one.
