Default FJ80 front coil springs...

wanted. Yes, I know this should be in the wanted section, but I was hoping to do this asap since the wife will be out of town for 2 weeks. I was hoping to get it done while she's away...

Anyone think they can find me 2 coils from a FJ80 for me and ship USPS to Alaska? I will paypal the money for the springs and shipping as long as it is reasonable plus a little extra for...

I can't find any places online that will ship USPS to me and we have zero here in KTN.

Whiteys Wrecking USA-WA(Spokane) 1-800-735-2376

According to car-part.com they have both front coils from a 91 FJ80 with the 31" tire option or 5000lb towing package. Same specs I used when looking for mine. $35 a spring. Don't see why they wouldn't ship for you. I believe they are the 21" 9.25 wrap springs if they are the same as mine. Just under 2.5" of lift and they flex nicely. Here is a before and after pic.

Thwey are checking on a shipping quote for me. He thinks it will be about $100 for shipping. We will see.

Good luck man. I installed mine while the little lady was at work. I have found that doing anything to the Rover is best done while she is away.
