I Purchased an 1977 fj40 that has been stretched 5 inches, but the question that i have is the guy whom I got the fj from did spring over and was running 35's but I would like to get a little more lift to run 38's. right now it has factory springs but I am just looking for some advice on some combinations that I could to with springs? Thanks all

Post some pics. SOA should fit 38's easily. You may need to trim a little though:D
I ran 35's SUA.

port-a-band or plasma-cutter! :evil:

Im not sure how to post pics on here but I can get pics.. and email I just want to be able to get a good amount of travel want to be able to get a good amount flex.. Thanks

Buy a star to post pictures.


The 35"s are about the limit with the stock power train. If you go bigger and wheel it you can guarantee breakage. You should upgrade to Longfield axles, get some power steering upgrades as well.

I actually have dana 60 front 14 bolt rear and am running Full Hydrolic steering but just want to make sure and get enough clearance for the ruff stuff..

:flipoff2:stock front springs with 55 in the rear. i plan to run 40-42.
