Just installed 30mm spacers in the front and put 285/75R16 KO2’s on the stock wheels. Happy with the result. Feel like it looks so much more proportional now.

FJ80 mechanical noob question. I’m about to have 30mm spring spacers installed in the front on my 97 FJ80 and I’m trying to figure out which of these two parts below I need to use. They both fit the FJ80 and they may both work, but I think I need to use the spring spacers, not the spring...

FJ80 noob back with another question. I’m about to have 30mm spring spacers installed in the front on my 97 FJ80 and I’m trying to figure out which of these two parts below I need to use. They both fit the FJ80 and they may both work, but I think I need to use the spring spacers, not the spring...

Don’t mean to switch the subject, but I’m about to have 300mm spring spacers install in the front on my 97 FJ80 and I’m trying to figure out which of these two part below I need to use. They both fit the FJ80 and they may both work, but I think I need to use the spring spacers, not the spring...

Great color! What kind of wheels are those?

I settled on the OME 2” lift w 30mm spacers in the front to level it out and 315/75R16 tires and the service manager at the shop doing the work sent me the following email... Is he incorrect? Everybody on here seems to be doing the same or similar setup. Please help!

Thanks for the input. If I went with the 315’s and only had the stock spare available, would it work as an emergency backup just to get me out of the jam? Don’t want to do the swingout spare.

What’s the complete measurement on the tires you have?

Good looking rig! Thanks for the info.

So you’re running the stock gearing currently correct? Also, I definitely want that leveled look after the 2” OME lift. What’s the cheapest way to achieve that? 1” spacers in the front?

Thanks for the advice. Honestly it is for the looks mainly. I only off-road when I’m hunting or fishing, out of necessity, not out of choice. Metric tire sizing is confusing. I thought a 285 tire would be quite a bit taller than a 255 tire. Had no idea they were the same height. I don’t want it...

It’s my everyday driver. I don’t off-road really (forgive me, that’s blasphemy I know). I use 4-wheel drive out of necessity, usually when I go hunting or fishing. I want it to perform on the road as stock as possible and I’m not dying to spend the extra $1500 to regear it after the lift and...

Man you sound like you know what you’re talking about so I’m going to ask you this. I have a stock 1997 FJ80 and I am about to put a 2”OME lift on it, primarily for looks (don’t hate me). I’m not an off-road guy- I use 4-wheel drive out of necessity when I go hunting, but that’s it. The rest of...

Awesome, thanks!
