Front shock install 1" Lift OCD Follow up

[NinetwoNine]

I just added some Fat Bob spacers to level my T4R
I'm a little OCD so this is a triple check and I was juggling two jobs yesterday.
Some may know and some may have a look.

Three questions.

1.
Top of spring pointing out on Drivers side and pointing in on Pass side ( My tundra is this way) Is your stock set up this way ?

2.
If so, then the white dots on the lower shock are facing front. Is your stock setup this way ?

3.
Lower Shock bolts, mine stock were pass side nut facing front and drivers facing rear unlike the pic. Is your stock setup this way ?

Weird no one has a T4R with a stock front end in the garage.

What's the question? I triple checked the punctuation in your post and saw no question marks?

Fixed punctuation for you, do you require a blueprint or CAD file?

The answer Alex, is "What is a stock 4Runner suspension orientation."
Mine is a TE and and bot lower shock bolts run from rear to front on both sides.
LCA bolts run front to rear.
White dot faces forward on only one spring.

Thanks, top of the spring were it is cut off points out only on one side? ( You should only be able to see it on one side, the other will be at 180° facing the engine.

Man, you're the meanest Canadian I've ever come across. I like to think we are all pretty helpful here and love to get to everyone's questions right away. Patience my friend.

I'm sorry I thought this was tundratalk.net haha, I've been under my truck more than once with a flashlight to help someone out.

I got attacked right off the bat on this one. I may just have to go to the lot and have a peek at one, no big deal. My question was, can the shock and spring combo be orientated improperly. I know the upper rubber gasket will show you where it was but I forgot when pulling the pass side apart.

I actually enjoyed the ribbing from all parties included. I took it as sarcasm all the way around. I'm actually impressed that the OP fired back at our resident, older than dirt, HID connoisseur of headlights and our grapher of all things graphable.

Welcome to the forum [MENTION=111015]NinetwoNine[/MENTION]. Once you get past the crass crowd, you'll learn that this forum is particularly the most helpful one out there. I've been on tundra talk too. You'll notice there are a lot less "bro dozers" here.

Side note, does your screen name mean you ride a Honda?

There is no left vs right coilover if that's what you're asking. Pretty sure there's no front vs rear orientation on them either.

Don't worry about the 'Mericans, they still can't believe we have internet access in our igloos. Just threaten to sic your pet polar bear on them next time.

It has stopped raining long enough to take some pics, they may prevent any more hurt feelings. .

You'll see the decals on the shocks are facing the same direction, one would think the passenger side would face the tire as well. Truck feels fine and I'm sure it doesn't matter.

For what it's worth I went with two different thicknesses of spacers to take the lean out of the truck.
