First FJ 45 (1 Viewer)

[sj86]

I’m sure a lot of repeat questions but I picked up my first fj today and I’m beyond excited. It’s fully stock and I will be lifting it and adding lockers. I need help on…
1) best disc breaks to add.
2) steel wheels and factory hub caps
3) tall pizza cutters (35/37 x 9.5)

do you know of a 4" kit? I'm not set on anything in particular, but I don't think 2" is enough

I'd try Deaver --> https://deaverspring.com/

Or OME - Old Man Emu

I had 5” Alcans that I was very happy with for about six years, until a main leaf broke, and Alcan gave me the runaround on a warranty. The ones on the back of the 45 now are Ironman. Advertised as a 2.5” lift, they’re really like 4”. And they’ve been on for a decade now.

@sj86 This might be my favorite of all the lifted and modified 45’s (but I might be biased having owned a couple 404’s)

To give you an idea of the ground clearance under the 406 axle. My stock 404 on stock 39” tires would drive over a 5 gallon bucket with the lid on and he had 47” tires at the time.
