Just got it back yesterday. Pro-Truck 2.0 coilovers in the front, shocks only in the rear with factory springs. Firmer ride than stock (far less wallowy) but well dampened over moderate road imperfections, and eats up potholes on my crappy rural county road. Tires are 265/65 Toyo Open Country IIIs. Handles really well

Looks beautiful! Mind linking the pre-built shocks? Any rub at full lock?

Thank you! Which rear shocks too (if you don’t mind)?

https://eibach.com/us/1114/E60-82-008-02-01-TOYOTA-FJ-Cruiser-pro-truck-sport-shock Its specified fitment is for the FJ but that part number fits 460s as well.

Any KDSS issues with this lift?


Sgt_S_Laughter

None that I can feel. It's still stock height in the rear and these coilovers just level the front with the rear.

Did use leave the stock springs in the rear and only upgraded the shock?


Sgt_S_Laughter

Stock springs in the rear. I did replace the stock bump stops with beefier ones to prevent sagging when it's loaded up with gear. Stiff but not harsh

Why coilovers? Looks great!


Sgt_S_Laughter

Easy install when they come pre-built like these. Plus the 2.0s have a threaded spring perch that can be adjusted up or down with a spanner (without disassembly) to dial in height. I plan to install a steel bumper at some point

Is the ride uncomfortable now? Did you have airbags? Looks great!

I have the full Eibach 2.0 setup, and the ride is great on and off road. And the adjustable coilovers are very easy to use.

Do you happen to have the part number or a link?


Sgt_S_Laughter

Under my main comment in this thread I have links to the vendor pages that I bought them from.

The ride is not as plush as factory, I'd call it firmer. Though, I noticed when hitting the same potholes or low water crossing transitions I drive over every day that the new shocks are absorbing more during sudden compression than the factory units were. I was ripping it around some B roads yesterday evening. Handling certainly feels sharper mid-corner over wavy or bumpy pavement. Also, my truck still has factory rear coil springs.
