Important Toytec Front Spacer lift questions

[JohnBill53]

I just bought they toytec 3" front spacers and plan on putting them on myself. Getting the runner up and the struts off aren't my biggest worries though. Theres a part on the toytec directions online that i dont exactly understand.

8. Before compressing the coils, note the alignment of the top plate stud in relation to the lower shock
eyelet hole. The stud which is closest to the engine is aligned directly down the center of the strut body,
90 degrees from the bottom shock eyelet hole center.

Can anyone tell me what that means? and how to accomplish this the best way? Also If you have pictures please post of your spacer lift.

It just means that the 3 bolts on top must be aligned correctly so the lower shock bolt can go in (so the shock body isn't turned to one side and the eyelet on the bottom lines up).

whats the best way to do that? and do you have this kit on your runner?

No, I don't have that kit, but I have installed spacers before into 4runner struts and you just have to look at how the 3 top bolts line up and make sure that when they are lined up that the eyelet for the bottom shock bolt is lined up too. If not, turn it until it is lined up. If you had it in front of you it's very simple - it will work one way and not work if it's wrong. I think it's just making it sound way more difficult than it is on paper.

and are those rear shocks still forsale?

Sorry, sold them a while ago.
