That stinks, but there were no instructions with the kit. It looked very self explanatory. On the other hand, they do fit both ways. Maybe in the future somebody at the factory will mark "up" or down on the perch. The tech at ToyTec did did say it is very common......

Ok, I think I know whats going on.. A quick call to ToyTec (amazing customer service btw) It looks like the spring perch is installed upside down. That is why my struts are fighting to get out! Ahhh...:smash:

They were installed a few hours ago. I just ran the part # on the front and back shocks, rears are correct. I believe the front 5100's are for a FJ Cruiser.........

Uhh oh again!!!! OK, Got the 5100's installed. Now the truck sits like its hauling two pianos and maybe a safe. Reverse rake. Advise needed. I have 0 flex from the front suspension. I havent driven it out of the shop, it gets lowered back onto the ground and the suspension dosent even move...

Ok the 5100's are here. Since then my CV boots have started to leak so I'm just going to this myself. Would the highest setting on the the 5100's be equal to my DS 2.5 spacer lift? Everything looks great the way it sits now, I want to keep the same height as close as possible.

Thanks for all the replies! This is not fun, and I would normally do this stuff myself, but some bad apples at work spoiled any after hours shop time. This is the first real time I've let anyone else work on my truck but you have time or money, and I couldnt have my truck down for a day or two...

Update! So now, the shop and I agreed on a price for 4 Billstein 5100's Parts ordered,to be installed next week. On the drive in to work today, I did have a little slight knock every now and then that wasn't there before. I'll have to chock that up to that RF AND LR fluid being low. I have...

Being the nice guy I am, I spray lubed the day before and PB Blasted all the nuts involved and there was no leak at all prior. Weird....

I dont think they unbolted them, I'm guessing a seal let go or something... I am at a total loss, this sucks! If I go with 5100's I dont need the Daystar lift?? Can I still use the factory springs?

It was definitely not leaking prior, and I understand it has 100k miles on it and stuff happens....but..ya know.

There is a 3-4 inch pool on the ground, I can see it dripping every few seconds.

Hey there, need some help! Today I finally had my Daystar 2.5 spacer lift installed along with new tires. I used a local shop who lifts 5th Gen 4Runners, FJ's, Tundras for our new car department. I told them all about XREAS and explained how much I like my suspension the way it is, yada yada...

tires have been sold, thanks for looking

sorry, this truck only seems to travel north on I-75 ;)

I have 4 BFG's with less than 100 miles on them. They need to go! I'm gonna stick with my 17 inch wheels so they are no use for me. Local pickup would be great. Dayton, OH
