Need to get some good offroad pictures hah.

Looks like an extra 1/2 wrap to me.

Has anyone run into this fitment issue at all? I'm assuming not, since so many have done it, but I was just making sure it fits well at the bottom.

Has anyone measured the height (length) of the FJ80 springs? I found a pair locally today from a 1991 (Manufactured March of 1990) and of course they have 8 spring wraps. They feel pretty soft (I can compress them a couple of inches by hand) so I'm wondering if they have sagged some since they are 15.5 years old? I was thinking of trying them anyway, but I just wondered if anyone has measure their springs off the truck? Stock spring length? OME 891 length?

I dont think this really applies to you, but I used a set off a 91 fj to raise the rear of my 2nd gen. I believe they measured about 19-20" (could be wrong about that....been a few months) and ended up lifting my rear about 4" from sagging.
