FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Hey guys, suspension anyone?

Hello fellow Norcal FJers, saw a link to this site over on the blue room. I've got a white 2011 stock 4by that I am working on getting fully scuba'd(did the rear already) and blacked out(Plasti dip is awesome).
Looking to get my suspension upgraded, wondering if there are any used components out there to choose from before I take the leap and buy all new... On a thrify budged...
Been looking at putting in OMEs medium all round, or perhaps heavy rear, with 5100s or 5125(rear). Also considering the Toytech coil overs and super flex... Anyhow, if anyone is looking for an upgrade and wants to clear their old shit lemme know.
About me: former Army Blackhawks pilot, now here on the peninsula with my wife and beautiful 2 year old daughter. Loving being back in Cali wishin I could wheel more! Hope to see y'all soon out there!

I ran OME mediums, 885 up front and 895 in rear, on my FJC for a while. The fronts were stiff and did not flex much when I first installed them but once I got an aftermarket front bumper they rode pretty well.

Personally, I would go OME mediums in front if I were planning to add a bumper and if I were going to add bumper/winch combo then I'd consider going heavies. But that's just my .02

I have the OME light coils for the front that I have no use for. I bought them slightly used thinking I would be upgrading mine, but funds are tight and I have no use for them. I bought them for $100 and would be willing to sell for cheaper (I kinda want to just get rid of them).
