Yeah...its says "spring isolator" so you'll need to disassemble the strut assembly which is not fun to do. There are "top out spacers" which are easier to install.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure you have the right part. Try this: 2003-2010 Toyota 4Runner 2" Leveling Lift Kit 2WD 4WD - eBay (item 250746945866 end time Jan-23-11 15:15:36 PST)

Search my old threads and you'll see. This is the same one I used.

Ok, I found the website. It looks like its a thicker replacement spring isolator. Being thicker, it preloads the spring, giving you a 1/2 inch of front lift. IMO its a part of a 2 1/2 inches preload-topout style spacer lift sold here Toyota 2.5" Poly Spacer Lift Leveling Kit 1996-2011 (6-lug) -- Fat Bob's Garage Online Store In that case, i think the buyer just use the top out part and sell the replacement spring isolator( the one posted above).

The one posted by galactic 04 sure works

Looks like that kit you need to press new studs in the strut top assembly... PITA!

Sorry, but the style I posted on was only a 45 minute install... I'd recommend it over any of these kits.

Me and some other 4R buddies put this on last night, on mine and it looks perfect! Pretty easy install too.

The auction description says that a spring compressor is required for Xreas equipped 4runners.
Could someone explain why that would be?

You want a 2" front topout spacer. Easiest cheapest way to level. I got one used for $35!
