My offer stands the same as it did back in the day. If anyone can find me a set of springs (preferably 18-19") and is willing to parcel post them to me, I'd buy them(at a reasonably cost with a little thrown in for your trouble). I cannot get any salvage yards in the lower 48 to ship me any springs.

Mine sat high in the back too. But I had the fZj80 coils which were the fj's with the heavy duty towing package. So they had stiffer springs as well. That could be your case. Fzj is the fj with heavier duty suspension. I used 1"spring spacers up front to level it out. I have issues with rear spring retention. The retaining clips out back don't do a good enough job holding the bottoms of the springs in under articulation. I think if I had put washers between the flipped spring cup and the retaining plate then it would hold better.
Chris if you want to do the legwork and find yourself some springs near me, like w/in 40 or so miles, I'll get em and ship em for you

It's not super-soft in front and really stiff in the rear? When you ramp the truck or articulate it off-road, is most of the flex now in the front end?

Just realize it will cost you more because it is going farther.

If they do not have the parts you are looking for they can usually get them or put you on a waiting list and call you when they come in.
They are open 8-6 M-F and 8-2 on Sat, all times are EASTERN standard time.
