Most people want a nice tall lift but for me, I want about 1-2” max.
Anyone that has dealt with lift springs, a 2.5” Lift can raise a 40 6” if you put “heavy” packs on an unloaded truck.
For me, I really like the way my FJ40 looks, drives and steers with the original flat springs with the top off but when the top goes back on it sits about 1.5” too low in the back.
Cheap option 1 : longer rear shackles
$400 option 2 : Boss Airbags
$1000 option 3 : lightest OME packs and start removing leafs
I was about to pull the trigger in #2 last night because I really like the bags in my FJ60 and it’s easiest.
So, my question. Has anyone installed 40 series OME with removed leafs to lower it?
Have you ever run OME packs with stock length shackles
I’ve got Bilsteins that I like in it now. Not sure if they would take much lift though.
Pics for height. Tires are 235/85-16 that measure out about 32/9.50
