MudlovingFJ has been most helpful and is truly an asset to the SoCal crowd. He's helped me a bunch of times. Dave, that does look better. I bet you can't wait to get the White FJ this Christmas!

You're welcome and I do appreciate your efforts.

About things coming around... somethings I hope never come back around!

Re: There IS a Difference....

So does anyone know if the 4wd rear coils and shocks are different than the 2wd version? The rear end of the FJ is about 1/2" lower than the front.

What i'm really concerned about is that i'm planning to build a drawer system and was afraid that the rear will drop more and make an uncomfortable ride.

Are you talking just about your rig? Why would so many buy a "front level" kit if the front was higher than the back?? I always thought the front was 2 inches lower than the back.

Confused newb here

Re: There IS a Difference....

Tubig, are you figuring in on how much weight the drawer and the "stuff" you're going to put back there? It might be level before you add all the weight, but will sag after you put everything in.

Re: There IS a Difference....

I think he is saying his rear bumper is lower than his front right now by 1/2...without the storage unit.

Well, that's what I'm reading...

I'm still confused.

Re: There IS a Difference....

So to clear up the confusion...

I have a 4x2 with 883 springs and an ARB bumper. 883's level the 4x4's, so since the 4x2 is about 200-300# lighter in the front, this puts my front end higher than the rear, even with the ARB bumper.

I currently have a crate holding some things in the back. Even without this in the rear, the back is lower by 1/4".

I want to build a drawer system which will end up adding a considerable amount of weight when filled up.

So, I was wondering if there was an affordable way to compensate for the extra weight that I will be adding in the back.

Hope, I didn't add anymore confusion.
