Wow, those actually look like they could be 9 wraps if you count the top part. So, a 1993? Interesting info. It appears that the 1997 and 1993's are pretty long, but this picture actually seems to be the longest I've seen.

Why do you say the 97? Two people have them and they only have 7 wraps.

I didn't know that. Keggo claims his 1997 has 8 wraps and have provided at 4" of lift.

I didn't know that! He must be one of only a few doing that, I guess.

Does anyone have pictures of these 1995 springs side by side? I'm interested to see if the left side has got an extra wrap?

80's on the left OME 891's on the right



Looks like an extra 1/2 wrap to me.

I'm assuming it fits fine, but with the extra wrap it appears that it might not jive with the stock lower notch on the axle. The only reason I say this is because if you look at the other springs on the right, that additional 1/2 of wrap doesn't exist.

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 don't have pics but maybe I could take some Friday or maybe tomorrow. After looking at the OME's on the 4Runner and these, I'm pretty sure they're gonna have too much lift for me.

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.
