The kit is PTR13-89160, No top spacer, just the bottom Toytec 1".
The STRUTS are part# PTR13-89160 LF AND RF, the LF(driver) is set at the 2nd notch up and the RF is on the bottom notch.
The springs are TRD part # PTR13-89150-AA
This is my first Toyota front strut change but have done it 3-4 times on my 15 Colorado, similar job.
I undid the sway bar, top 3 strut tower bolts, lower strut bolt, 2 bolts on the lower arm near the ball joint, did not need to loosen the lower arm control nuts. Slid out the OEM strut assembly, slid in the TRD kit, rebolted/ torqued everything. What did I miss? Why is it still sitting so high?
Appreciate any feedback. I may end up removing the Toytec spacer as I don't want to be over 2". The back has no lift.
Is there any chance the unexpected increase lift height is because I'm a 2wd vs 4wd, less weight? If I remove the lower 1" spacer, what part do I replace it with, prev owner did not include the orig spring seat.
With that set up, you're at 1.75 over stock, maybe 2 before it settles and you weight slightly less up front being 2wd rather than 4wd. 1" spacer in the back, maybe 1.5" and you'll have a slight rake and it'll look great. Here's mine when I was 1.5 up front and 1.5 in the back.
