    Shock upgrades and compatible swaps

    in FJ-09 Suspension

    Posted

    Is the FJ shock the same length/fitment as the FZ?
    If looking at retailer cross-references is sufficiently accurate, the answer is yes. Model YA335 for both. A lot of very naive people just slap in shocks without paying any attention to spring rate, valving, and stroke. Not saying these ZX or other shocks aren't a match (will need to dig up that FZ09 post) but if you do go that route, make sure to check ALL aspects of the fitment and spend the ~$200 to get it fully serviced.
    Thanks! 
    I always have shocks rebuilt/re-valved and re-sprung when I am swapping them onto my bikes. I'm north of 215lbs geared up, and there isn't much off the shelf that is setup for me.
