questions on a 4" lift for fj 80

[Tools R Us]

I'd like to see some more J spring / 33" tire setups!

J's, L's, 1.5" front spacers and 295 Nittos, about 24.75" all around.

It is possible, but I did not like the way it behaved on the freeway at speeds. The truck tended to sway pretty bad. Specially with under side winds.

That probably also depends on the weight, I like the ride of the J's on my stock weight truck. If anything would prefer slightly less spring rate for better flex.

Frankie's Offroad 3" kit netting 3.5" on my rig (stock weight ) running 35's. 23.75" center of hub to center of wheel well (no flares on my rig) on all four corners.

Believe this kit will run around $1,200.

We have been using a competition shock for our 4" lift, with specific valving in the rear, which also adds alot of droop, as it will work with 6" lift also, and stops the "sway" compared to most other 'generic" produced shocks.

We have also now developed a 4" lift Bilstein shock for 80 series with our specific valving and bushes which are the bee's knees for bolt on applications, but now we have our patrol [similar front to 80] FOX install kits out there, 80 series FOX install kit is next.

Christo has some of our shocks to try at the moment, for bigger lifts, and hopefully will have them available for you guys shortly.

I* love that "no-flare" look! I want to go flareless if/when I do my exo.

I'd like to go with Slee's 4" soon, but I have no desire to go to 35" tires. Will it look like I'm running spares all around with 33"s? The expense for 35"s and regearing is not even an option.

Look at my pics here , I am essentially running Slee's 4" kit w/ 33s.

Here is mine; J's and L's w/ 285/75 mtrs. No armor or accessories yet.

I did not like the j's with a camping load, especially on steep uphills. The rear had this disconcerning squat. The Slee 4 inch lift has been great and definitely has exceeded expectations.

864's in the rear in place of 863J's also solves that.

OME now imports their higher rate "competition" 3", 4" , and 5" coils to the US. Slightly more expensive than their standard coils. Part numbers below

OME418 3" ft heavy
OME419 4" ft heavy
OME420 5" ft heavy
OME421 3" rear heavy
OME422 4" rear heavy
OME423 5" rear heavy

Someone hurry up and test out those 5" springs!
