A banjo fitting requires a machined flat spot around the fluid port for the crush washer to seal on. I do not recall either the FJ or the 4rnnr caliper having this feature. Could put it in with a file, but filings issues aside, it also needs to be perpendicular to the hole within a fairly close tolerance. It could be done by someone sufficiently talented, but I wouldn't recommend it. A straight adapter with a 90* hose end is pretty tight to the caliper body.

The way that I was taught to set the upper shock mounts is so that with the axle fully bottomed out , 1/2 way compressing the bump-stop) on that side, and the other side hanging in space that the damper is still ~1/4 shy of being bottomed itself.
