hey....

im in the market for the fzj80 springs....is it only the fronts of the 95 that will fit? cause i had a guy tell me that he would sell me his 97s for whatever offer i can give him. i appreciate the help guys

It's the fronts you'll want for your rear, assuming you have a '97. It's not just from a '95 but that generation. I'm not sure which years but others I'm sure will chime in.

 

i asked the guy what colored bands the springs have on them so i'm waiting on his response...appreciate any further help

yup. 1991-1997 are the Fj/FZJ-80 model years. all the front coils will be the same with the only exception being how much they've sagged according to the miles on them.

i would personally prefer some w/a ton of miles and good and sagged. that way, what you get is what you get and they will be good and soft and won't sag anymore...

 

Also ask the height. You'll want springs between 18 and 19 inches. Any springs taller than this may be too high for you.

BTW, I have a set if you're interested. I believe they came off a '97 LC...

 

yeah he said they had 80k miles of "mall cruising" on them, but ive also got a big ol subwoofer enclosure in the back so that will help bring er down a bit



kinda looks ÅÅÅÅty, but sounds damn good

 

get the 95s.

 

boom boom

 

after i get my 4 channel amp mounted on the back of the box (my orion 8004 to go along with my elemental designs nine.1) im gonna go to the fedex kinko's store near me and see if they'll let me use their scale to get an accurate measurement of the box's weight

 

all fj80 front coils will work, just depends on how much lift u want. Every one says get 95's because they offer the least amount of lift 3"-3.5". More than that is a lot for the stock control arm setup. Plus it's harder to get the front any higher to match a lift 4" or higher in the rear.

I should be getting my 95's in the mail next week, can't wait. They're used so lift amount should not change.

 

hmm....maybe i should put a couple of dumbells inside each subwoofer's chamber

 

 

hehehe... I put a set or 19.5" tall ones ( year unknown) in the back of mine... It had REALLY worn out PP springs in the back to start so lift amount is unknow too... I have NEW tundra coils front with 2 top up spacers, and the back sits 1 full inch taller still.... From what I understand tundra coils give 2" and then 2-3/8" top up spacers per side.... so 2 3/4" total front.... so that would have given me 3 3/4" rear.....

 

i'd say one of these in each chamber would do nice



plus someone would REALLY have to work hard (or just bring terry tate along with them) to steal my enclosure with an extra 90-100lbs hidden in it....

i love redneck engineering

 

Ahhhh... just put 2 more subs in there!!!!!

 

haha but the barbells are so much cheaper!! plus all i need is my cordless drill and a 3/8" hex socket and BAMM!! instant bicep workout!!

 

leave them loose... then they will "thump" like 2 10"s.... hehehehheheheh
