got my FZJ front ocils in today...
WOW! ARE THEY LONG!!! I'll get them in sometime next week and take pics and measurements of before and after.
Also, i think i'm going w/ a 4WD TRD / OME front setup w/ two topout spacers instead of what i have now. lol... i just can't leave it alone!

Gee.... I'm famous.... Just stumbled on this.
FWIW, they flex like mad, come so cheap, and ride sooooo nice - PROVIDED you remove the rear sway bar. My wife finds that it oversteers a tad without the sway bar; I can feel it, but don't really mind.
Lengthening the sway bar connects would be a simple matter of some quality time with ol' Miller Blue and some small tube. Or a section of allthread maybe. With the sway bar connected, things will get bendy in short order, and the flex will be underwhelming.
The fronts were simply AllPro Taco spacers, cheapest and fastest I could find. Seem to work well. The front swaybar needs lengthened connects too, but the truck really does not see all that much trail time, so other projects take precedence.
Tires are stockers. Looks a little odd with the stock tires, but what the hey. It did amazingly well at Moab.
Obviously the shocks must be lengthened. Oleg threw in some slightly, ahem! used ProComp shocks, a little longer than stock. I must say they work just dandy.
Wondered what all that flashing was in the street that night.... Good on ya, Jake. Glad I didn't break out the Super Redhawk! ;-)
