Had a couple questions about FJ80 coils.
Initially I helped a friend of mine lift his 94 FZJ80 and he handed me his springs for free... And then I went to a swap meet and bought another set of springs for 10 bucks. Little did I know, they had differences? I planned to use both the long springs and get as much lift as possible. but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea since they're different.
Here's some pictures:
So the 94 FZJ80 springs are on the left and the unknowns are on the right. BOTH are landcruiser springs, but the FZJ80 ones LOOK taller... The FZJ80 springs on the left are cut on the last coil and the ones on the right are not. so which springs are better? and is it possible to run the long coils from both sets? or should i just use one set and put the long side on the gas tank side? Also the set on the left have 7 coils, and the set on the right have 6 & 7. its hard to tell which spring is taller on the left set, but the one in the middle, next to the short one is the taller side, but barely.
Here's the 94 FZJ80 coils ( the last coil is cut )
and Here's the ones on the right. ( coils are round )
Which would be a better set to run? My stock springs are cut like the 94 FZJ80 springs, and I know how many miles are on them. ( 280k ) Is it possible that I can run the two long coils? or would I have issues?
I also ordered 4crawler's panhard bracket and LSPV. I should be picking up some brake lines and a set of rancho RS9000 shocks to go along with it.
Lemme know what you guys think
