Finally got the OME suspension installed. 2.5-2.75" lift all around. Nice ride, firmer but comfortable.

Look really clean Paul! Not over bearing, it looks like it belongs that way. Good call on the lift.

Looks great Paul. Tasteful (and functional too) mod, I like the way it looks. I can't let my wife see these pictures or else we will end up at the local Toyota dealer!
Does it feel top heavy or still pretty solid? My buddy lifted his Jeep and he said it felt like he was trying to balance on a beach ball. I am considering installing a leveling kit to bring the front of my F150 4x4 to match the rear as it has that stink bug look to it stock.

Thanks guys, the FJ rides really nicely. Firmer than stock but not harsh. Surprisingly enough it doesn't feel too top heavy, no more than stock. Might be because the spring rates are higher or the IFS on the FJ helping to minimize the feel of roll up front.

Wheels/tires, eh I'm not sure I want to drop money on that right now. Having a narrower wheelbase comes in handy for some of the tighter trails. I'm considering it though.

I have always liked these. Too bad they don't offer them in black.

The Silver FJs look real good with the white top painted black. Have you seen that Paul?

Lift looks good. Not rediculous high, but it is noticeable compared to stock.

hehe $ + install = more $. I'd rather get a new front bumper first, headers would be nice but I wouldn't make much use of it.
