Amsoil is the same. They screw in pretty well, but I don't trust it to hold the weight of a full quart, but it is great for letting the emptied one drip in to get every last drop.

Just had a set installed 5 days ago. Balanced with minimal weight and no shimmy/shales. Got 2 inches of snow last night. Handled it great. 265/70R17s on a basically stock 2008 SR5

I did the KYB Assemblies and just the rear shocks on a 2008 Limited with 170,000 miles. Rides nice and ended up with about a 1.5 in lift up front, leveled it off. Ordered through Rock Auto and there was a KYB Rebate at the time. Certainly was worth it to keep it pretty stock.

That doesn't look too bad. Pay attention to the front crossmember with the shipping hooks/radiator support. That seems to be the hardest hit on the three I deal with. The price is high to me. For a 2008 or 2009 sure, but not a 2006.

jacob7071 Still Have these?

Ensure there rear window is up all the way. Check car-part.com and see if there are any near you in junkyards.

Reverse sear. S&P Cook in oven till internal temp at requested Pan sear

It is the upper shield covering the piston/rod of the shock. The fronts don't have them. I wouldn't worry unless they are leaking.

Thank you for fixing the pictures. Haven't done this but think it looks fantastic.

Did this twice in 2 days. Worked well and pretty clean. 12 out 13 in and checked once up to temp per the dash.

I keep tossing these up compared to the TRD Pros. Both are tempting.

Busy 2 days... Wife's: Changed Engine, power steering, and trans oil. Changed coolant Partially cleaned and primed rust Mine: Changed power steering and trans fluid Changed coolant Put 5th Gen(2017) TRD Trail front suspension in. About 1 1/4 in of front lift. Partially cleaned and primed rust...

Those look like the breathers for the front diff and transfer case.
