Help getting bilstein long travel shocks installed
so i bought my lift from toytec and it came with no directions. I just got my superflex coils installed today but i am having trouble getting my shocks to line up so i can bolt them in. Also not sure how the bushing go on the top of the shock.the kit came with 4 bushing 2 washers and 1 lock nut.
Any help would be great!

Toytec has their instructions online, although it's not going to help much as the instructions for the step you are at just say "Bolt on new shocks or stock shocks."

http://www.toyteclifts.com/images/st...ul-9602-4r.pdf

I wanna say that the order from bottom to top goes, washer, bushing, body, bushing, washer, lock nut. I also want to say that they come in this order out of the box and you just put the mounting hole between the bushings.

I might call Toytec tomorrow and ask them. I'm so close to having the lift finished and i just keep on running into things.
