Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140

I received my kit and noticed that a couple of the boxes have what appears to be oil marks on them. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

Shocks/struts should NOT leak oil. I have many questions about where the these parts were in relationship to the other boxes and side of the big box. I assume you checked the box that contained all the parts and verified by size of oil mark and location that the oil didn't come from an outside source. Also there may be just one shock/strut leaking. I would definitely contact the Toyota dealer you bought the suspension kit from.

Akkording and 0verland3r - Thanks for the helpful replies.

Also 0verland3r, I looked at a TRD Pro and your shock reservoirs placement was very close to where the factory placed them.

This attachment might help some people for resi mounting.
 
I got one on Ebay yesterday. Going on a 2017 TRD offroad premium with KDSS. As far as I can tell after reading through this whole thread, the only thing I need to be aware of is putting some nutserts into the frame in the rear for the reservoir mounts. Should have the kit sometime this week.
 
Also worth pointing out plasticsnaks [OP] post. I would add, understand the risks before undertaking this project. Take all safety precautions including safety glasses.

This is a Tacoma install but the T4r is identical. I installed my 5100’s with ome coils using this method. Worked great!
Couldn’t find a link for rears but it was a very straight forward install for rear shocks. Now mounting the resi on the 5160’s... not quite sure but I can’t imagine it being too difficult.
 
Sorry...just to be clear...I have a 2018 ORP....does this kit come with the reservoir mounts/bracket as indicated in the PDF or not?

It sure does. Comes with everything you need unless you want new top hats for the front coil overs. Most people, including myself, did the “no spring compressor” method and it worked out perfect. Besides basic tools, everything is in the box.

Since you have KDSS have you decided about moving the front right strut, spring mount, snap ring from the bottom position to the top position to try to level your 4Runner? I'm not sure what I am going to do.
 
If frankramo777 somehow = Frank Toyota Scion Hyundai Subaru, I almost bought from you. I got the last PTR13-35140 from olathetoyota.com. I always hate getting the last one. Some of the boxes were opened but they checked out.

uh NO, they are a dealer in San Diego Ca, if you search by the kit part number and then look at the seller name its frank-motors:mod:
 
Yea, that'd work. The 3" ID dim is the critical dimension to fit over these shocks. You'll likely need UCA's going this route, however.

Darn...I was hoping for a 2" lift....so I would want a 15"x3" spring but it looks like King and Eibach both don't make them. Guess I'll have to wait for Dobinsons who says they do plan on making it.

The placement is set by a snap ring on the resi body. Unless the groove for the ring is in a different place for the FJ than 4Runner they should sit the same. Actually now I'm really curious to know if there is a difference.
 
Ordered this kit from Frank Motors on EBay for $560 shipped.

I’m going to add 1” Eibach coils and the Wheelers 1.25 isolator spacer.
 
I went ahead and did 1/2" toytec top plate spacer and rear 1.5" dobinson coil with 1/4" driver side spacer.
