4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
Went with the adjustable 3" coilovers in front and for now a 1.5" taller spring.
FJ sits very nice and the ride is much better than stock. Wheels and tires are 285 70 17

What is the cost and where did you get the lift. I have been waiting to see what downey comes out with. I also read they supply their lifts with an extended rear brake line. Did you do new shocks on the rear, or just the springs. Thanks for the great pictures.
Bought the lift direct from Downey called them up and drove down...while i was there I decided to get the rear spacer & new shocks along with a skid plate
Cost was somewhere around 1800 for front coliovers, rear springs, rear shocks, rear spring spacers, & skid plate. I haven't put rear shocks or rear spacers in yet wanted to try it like this for a bit. I will get another 1.25" in the rear when i put the spacer and new rear shock in.
Their skid plate which is by far the best looking most functional one i have seen so far.

FJrod- I'm learning about this lifting stuff. So, you have coilovers in the front and spacers in the rear? And will the FJ sit level when you're finished? TIA
