Another update. Have a softer front swaybar, heavy duty links and some superior engineering swaybar relocation spacers on the way. The front will be dropped to roughly 3 inches hopefully this weekend. (Been trying to get it done dor a while)
 
So been a bit quiet lately but still here, latest update is just got this going in, in a couple of weeks

Proper diff drop kit for the fj finally available


Will drop the diff a full 23mm unlike the spacer diff drop, which only gives you 10mm.

Will hopefully allow me to run the custom built coil overs i want to install

On top of this i jave some led headlights on the way

Hopefully get a fair amount of light out of them and save me adding a light bar

I am removing my diff drop in order to install ARB skid plates.

Im looking for maximum droop on 3 inch lift, until now the only way i was going to acieve what i wanted with out going full long travel was to fork out for jd fab or rcv axles. Well out of budget. This is the first kit of its kind for fj and prado but we have had them for our hilux models, lc200s and few others for a few years now they are very popular and work well
 
So this job took way longer than expensed and cost way more that i wanted it to (excluding battery and charger) and im not 100% happy with the wiring location but 120amp lithium battery installed in boot

Also here is the new diff drop installed, 2.5 inches of lift but droop is my main goal. Offaet replacement lower arms will be the next front end part to go in

So been a bit quiet lately but next thing on the way is some complete superpro lower control arms with offset bushes, went with offset as i need to adjust my upper arms further out to try and eliminate the coil bind issues, the offset bushes should hopefully allow the caster and camber to be corrected after adjusting outer arms.

Will also be swapping the factory inclinometer to a dual egt gauge
 
2 new lower superpro double offset arms fitted today, bit of a learning curve fitting them but got their in the end. Get a wheel alignment tomorrow.

Hoping the offset bushes allow enough adjustment for the suspension place to push the upper arms out enough to clear the coil overs in thier arc. Will be getting new upper ball jointS fitted at same time
