Re: I need "lifts for dummys"
For the front suspension, this is a simple way of thinking about it and the install of a lift.
Think of the articulation as a scale from 0-5. 0 being full compression and 5 being full extension. At stock height, the FJ sits at 2.5 (in the middle). If you add a lift, say OME, it simply puts you at a point say 4 in that range.
It does not increase articulation, you may even argue that it reduces articulation since the springs are now firmer and want to prevent compressing more. The rear is similar but different because it is an axle set-up.
Any time you raise a vehicle it raises it's c.o.g. (center of gravity). However, this is generally obtained by using stiffer springs so it will have less body roll because of this.
I actually noticed less body roll with the OME springs installed.
