FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Quick suspension question

quick question here, came across a couple of pictures of FJ's with this type of suspension.... is this what can be achieved with a long travel system, or is this a totally different system? if so, what it is? i may be just making myself confused with all the choices there are to be had with suspension mods, most likely this is a simple answer that has blown right over me, however help on this subject would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

That FJ has a solid axle in the front. FJ's come standard with independent suspension there. If you wanted a suspension set up like the picture, you would need to essentially swap out the entire suspension set up in front, get the right axle and a load of other parts (I don't even know them all), and do some wielding and heavy modifications.
