    Another new guy here with a question that has probably been asked and answered more times than some of you seasoned veterans care to remember. And I have read and searched until I'm worn out, so now here's the question. Can I put (or has anyone else put) the stock springs and shocks from an FJ onto a 95.5 Tacoma . If it can (has) been done was their any appreciable lift that resulted, or any problems that resulted from the swap?
    Reasons for asking are as follows.
    I put a OME med. suspension on my 2007 FJ five years ago and saved ( hoarded ) the OEM parts, and just recently put new wheels on the FJ. So the Taco just got a set of 17" steelies handed down, and the 'need' for a small change in altitude. Now don't get me wrong I don't have a problem throwing more business OME's way, I'm just trying to make the holding onto old parts pay off! So any help would be appreciated.

    Front fj are the same as 2nd Gen taco. Rear is interchangeable with 4th gen 4runner.
