I just installed Skyjacker's 4 in lift springs to my '79 FJ40, at first I was using Rancho 5000 shocks and the ride was horrible! .. it was so harsh and stiff! .. at first I thought the springs were very hard for the truck. then I decided to get a set of Bilstien 5100 series shocks instead, and it was a day/night difference! .. the ride quality was so good and comfortable. all in all, I'm very happy for how it rides and how it looks now.
