Have you tried unplugging the Height Control and/or Ride a Height ECU?
I don't know about the FJ spring rates, as I've never ridden in one with those springs retrofitted into a GX. However, as I mentioned earlier, I installed Arnotts and Bilsteins, and the ride is a little soft in the rear for my taste (my wife says it feels exactly as it always did to her, but I felt the rear of the GX - even with the air bags and factory adjustable shocks - was too soft.)FJ OEM springs (and upper cups) fit and ride fine. Do it!
Would 4R springs leave it at stock height or give a little stinkbug stance?Honestly, FJ or 4R springs will be firmer than the stock airbags, but not disgustingly stiff like an aftermarket. Either way, the fitment is assured.
Please post some photos. Thanks!As an FYI, I just did the MetalTech rear coil perches + 2010 FJC springs (w/ 40k mi on them). with a full tank of gas and no 3rd row I am ~1/4" over stock height.
I'm running the $60 kit from MT and using some fjc coils and spacers I got from a friend along with some icon shocks.... I'm only in it like $150 total. Just waiting for the OME BP-51s to be released for the 120 chassis.Are you guys running the $250 kit from MetalTech, or the $60 kit and sourcing your own Prado parts? I haven't been able to find them...
