80 series stock springs on FJC?

Will they fit? It seems like they would givearoun 2 inches of lift... Would the spring rate be too stiff? Anyone done it and have pics? A google search isn't turning up much.

Believe a few folks have either run OEM landcruiser rears or OME's landcruiser coil in the past. Belive they were on SAC FJ/4runner though (needed more lift height in the rear to not look retarted with the jacked up SAC front end).

So it's doable. Am I wrong in thinking that stock springs would only give 2-3 inches of lift? I wouldn't want anymore than that.

Pretty sure they end up having it sit a bit taller than that. What are the free lengths and rates on the springs?

Out of the 3 vehicels I'm thinking of 2 were running 37s and one 42s which results in the front being pretty tall for clearence purposes and back to a degree as well. They allowed for more clearence and better matched the front than most of the other FJC4runner options.

Ou sheesh, that is waaay more than I would need or want. I will have to get back to you on spring specs... I know I saw it somewhere.

Here are the ones I'm thinking of for reference that were running a LC spring (OEM or aftermarket).

40+

37s (believe these are LC fronts on the rear of the FJ)

Both solid axle swaps. There was an SAC 4 runner out there that I believe was running them too. Height was in the ballpark of those two.

Haha. That white one is a monster - the maroon one is a little more manageable, but still a lot taller than I was envisioning. I may have to play around with it one weekend when I have nothing to do (like I ever get those). Thanks for the info, man.
