Ya know, it will be all built up heavy duty after that, so you might want some more horsepower... and just to keep it in the family and make it interesting, I say swap in the V-8 from the Lexus IS-F.
Just in case you get mod withdrawl and all....

There is an evil circle where you build one area up, and then the remaining areas need to build up also to keep pace. I am totally done after the 4-link.
Actually Brian Trager at URD has been threatening me with significant add'l HP mods now that my axle won't break in half ... it just never stops
You'll never be finished. Just like Sol and myself, you'll be working on that thing until it has a big red for sale sign in it.
By the way, I went to Currie the other day and talked to Dave and he showed me some interestings points about your FJ in particular, and all other FJ's in general. I think Jason noticed this too at some point but I don't remember. Call me and I'll share. Only Sols FJ is not affected by this. There are positives to having a leaf sprung rear end.
Question for everybody then. What kind of travel do you think I can get with the leafs? I would shoot for 17"-18" with 62's. Wondering if that will be a noticeable difference from the 4-link assuming I can get the 22" that Dylan got.

18" easy with 62" Deavers.
If you set them up so that you get some negative arc at bump you can get 20"+/-. This will cause them to wear out faster though. But that is about were I would want my travel numbers (18"-20") at if I was doing what you are. Thats close to what Dylan and Kreg had.
18 will be very nice and will handle great once you get some by-pass tuned in the back.

Easy 18in, that’s going 1to 1 with a short shackle I'm not sure what the max is but we could easily pump a little more out with a creative leaf shackle.

I haven't measured mine but I'm guessing it's a good percentage over 18". Jason would probably know better since he was there when deaver came to the shop to do the measurements on the truck. I wanted to go with links in the rear at some point but I'm gonna stick with my leafs back there.
