FJ40 upper coilover mounts

[Mad Chemist]

Prepping for the Proffit 4-link kit I'm going to be installing in my FJ40. For those of you running coilovers in the rear, could you post up some pictures of your upper mount? Did you run them vertical and up into the bed?

Thanks,

David

nothing to add just a question .. coz I thought it would depends on how long the coilovers are and how tall you want to make your 40 ..

so how long they are ?

Well....I don't know yet. I'm sprung-over in the front, running 37's. I don't plan on going any bigger in tire size. My understanding is that you'd have to run shorter coilovers canted in towards center and that would limit the amount of travel you can get, or cut an opening in the tub to run the coilovers vertical and as far out on the axle as possible.

Don't do it David! You'll hate it! Give them to me instead... Trust me.

But then they would just collect dust in your garage! You're going to be too afraid to take that pretty rig of yours off pavement!

So what are you planning to do David? Going to run them up through the floor? Seems like a good way to me.
