Front spacer installation

[omegadeluz77]

Does anyone have pictures or a link to the front spacer installation on a 2wd 2007 SE with XREAS? I got some 1 inch spacers from ebay and it came with intructions but I wanted something to cross reference with.

Thanks,
Joe B.

Search for user "J.A." He has a good write-up that I used to install my spacers.

Do you have the link from where you bought it?

Great write up J.A. Will be keeping under my favorites for when and if I decide to lift mine.

They show for an FJ but they worked fine. I just got done installing them and front end is still 1/2 lower than the rear. He also sells the 3 inch which would be exactly level.

Do you have XREAS suspension? How much did you have to take apart to install the spacers (ball joints, sway bar, sway bar link, etc.) I want to do this but I dont' have 8 hours+ to install the Daystar spacers. It seems like these might go much easier and achieve the same result.

Can you get pics?

I have XREAS. I didn't have to take apart the balljoints. I took about 3 hours for the first side and 2 for the other. I suggest having help. J.A.'s writeup really helps. I will get pics up this evening.

Cool thanks. Look forward to the pics!

Looks like you did not have to disassemble struts either. Is it correct?

 

[omegadeluz77]

No strut disassembly, but you will need to compress them to rotate the top mounting plate if you have XREAS. This is due to the hydralic lines. If you have regular struts you can just rotate the strut itself.
