    Over all there is a lot of preload on them right now. Its sitting about 3.5" of lift up front which is way too tall for my taste and pretty hard on the OEM CVs. My dad has an fj with the exact setup so I'll just match mine to his.

    You guys always plan that during my snowboard trips. I'll throw it on the calender.


    Did some work on the FJ today. Painted the front bumper, mirrors, and door handles. I also lowered the front a lot and it looks much better
