I've been lockin into lift kits not sure which one is the best to keep the geometry right so nothin breaks to soon.
The best kit that i like is the Total Chaos kit, i just like it because my background comes from prerunning.
I also know rough country has a lift kit but its a cradel lift.
What would be better for long life, but also performance, cradel lift, longtravel with 4wd, or just a coil spacer lift ?

- Avoid spacer lifts at all cost! -

Here is a full list of available FJC lifts: http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/foru...lift-listing-comparison-they-re-all-here.html



If you plan on wheeling, then avoid 6" lifts. They will throw your center of gravity up high and make you a little tipsy.


Long travel is as you know fantastic for going fast in the desert. The problem's are, price, and the availability of fiberglass fenders.




I would personally recommend a 3" lift from OME (old man emu), Icon vehicle dynamics (formerly Donahoe racing), or King. OME is probably the most popular FJ/landcruiser/tacoma lift out there. Icon and King are especially well suited for going fast in the dirt.

thanx, yeah i just looked at the stock suspension and its set up pretty nice and beefy , ill check out the emu 3 inch , how about tire size? keep it the same? 32's right

 

[DominicG]

stock tires are 31 (265/70/17)

A good bump in size would be to 33" (or 285/70/17).

What about FOX?

Old Man Emu. best bang for the buck. Love them. With no aftermarket bumper on the front, they'll need some time/use to loosen up, but after that they are awesome.
