FJ springs & Bilstein 5100 are great, except for one little problem.

First off, everyone is correct about the FJ springs and the 5100's set on the second notch (.85")... However, make sure your installer puts the springs on the correct sides.

We were driving on the Interstate and my GF is telling me it's pulling to the left... "Rubish woman, let me drive"... Sure as $#%&, pulling to the left.

I get home and look at the shocks/springs, they put the driver's spring on the pax and the pax on the drivers. I was a nice guy too (since I know the color code and they don't), I wrote "driver's" and "passenger" on the springs with a bright green paint marker.

The truck looks level, but that has to be why it was pulling at highway speeds.

Hopefully they don't give me a problem, but that's a PITA for them, swapping struts/springs and redoing the alignment.

Jeez, at least they were reasonable price wise.

I found out my CV boots are leaking too, lovely.

I agree, but this place does top notch alignments (or has in the past), and the springs are still on the wrong sides.
