Re: Revtek KIT 431 For FJ Cruiser

Other Quick notes:
1st Make Sure you have a good set of spring compressors. (I Didn’t)
2nd Be careful of the back nut on the Strut tower because it strips very easy and is hard to get to.
3rd On the top of the shocks on the rear is very hard to get tools in and the bottom the shock is very close to the axel all most rubs. see pictures!

How is the ride? Does it perform the same on pavement and at highway speeds? Please post some results. Looks cool though. Do you have any plans on bigger tires? If so, what size?

Re: Revtek KIT 431 For FJ Cruiser

Nice work. Great pics. I think I'd the same set up. Was wondering if I would be able to keep my alloys after the lift and just get bigger tires. That would same me some $ if I didn't have to buy new rims as well. Will you be keeping your 17" alloys?
