Looking to put coil springs on my FJ40 in the front. I will be 4-linking the front and SOA in the rear. Just wondering what size, length, diameter, how stiff or soft I should go, and all that good stuff. This is going to be a off-road only rig. Please chime in and I will try to answer any questions I can or maybe point me in the direction of a link. Thanks.

I found a few threads with info but all on the rear, anyone do this on their FJ40 up front?

we had to ditch the idea of the 4 link on the front of mine and go to a 3 link. the frame rails are just too narrow to get good geometry out of it. im running coilovers on mine so i am not much help. but bump for some help for you..

Thanks spacecwboy.

I have started dismantling the 40, axles are out and I am ready to put the 1 tons under it. Going to mock up the wheel base, and height of the vehicle for now and then send the axles out for some sand blasting. I can see this taking some time to finish. Any suggestions or thoughts?

This thread has plenty of pics on a front coil setup:

As already said the narrow frame rails & the way the front of the frame contours downward is a pitfall.
