Yes! The rear perches flpped will accommodate the 'tapered' FJ coils. BUT they will need longer bolts. So expect to include that in overall cost. Speaking of the cost, I thought this the '$50 lift' option. But went to wrecking yard for rear jump seats and found FJ sitting on frame. Found coils on rear floorboard. Told guy @ counter they were outta land rover NOT land cruiser. (Be advised, these are used by 4runner guys for lift also. And are in high demand. ) I already paid $10/person deposit for reflective vests for a friend and I. (Safety reasons @ pick-and-pull) so I asked to call it even for the 'land rover coils' for the deposit. (There were 7 Discoveries and only one land cruiser!). So I got coils for $20

'Computer' (smart phone) crashed again, excuse me if I'm brief, I'm trying to make this informative, and if ANYONE has questions email me. (I'm on a hundred forums) I just think there should be a straightforward walk thru on this as its a great upgrade.

Nice LSE and noticed the RR TWR wheels. I've been looking for a set of those myself. Have back coils in the front yet?

How long are the replacement bolts? My '97 has been my dd for the last year and with a new job, I got a new "car" for my dd and get to work on my bb. I also have a set of fj coils I got for free.

Thanx 4 the kind words! Ya its a 98 50th anniversary ed. LSE (pioneer amplified stereo and cargo matts as far as I can tell is only difference) maybe that explains the Range wheels? I always wondered how I lucked out cuz all the other discos I see have HIDEOUS wheels! And the shop is my work, its a truck shop and before that it was a train yard shop. Its the size of an airplane hanger, and has an on site fastenal, so I'm not sure the bolt lengths for the rear, just grabbed a few different length 5/16" fine bolts.
