2016 toyota tundra 5.7 platinum bilstein absorbed install

I need help to install rear trd pro bilstein shocks in 2016 toyota tundra platinum
I tried to install but Doesn't look right Thank you for you Help

 

Pictures might help

 

Thank you for answer
Just trying to uploaded pictures but I can't

 

Loosen that hose clamp and allow the black covering to slide down a couple inches. But don't tighten it back up too tight in case it needs to move a little bit over road/trail irregularities. Kinda make it so that you're able to still move it by hand without too much effort so that it won't accidentally stretch and tear. Then go back to check and see where it seems to want to come to "rest" naturally and tighten it up just a little bit, like one or two turns of the screw.

 

I would loose the hose clamp. Just use a plastic zip tie.

 

Thanks for your help, my question is if it is normal for the shock absorber to be like this with that pressure

 

I saw a video on YouTube where they install that same shock absorber and after installing it, it is pulled up to the top

 

Have you tried to reshape it so it accordions more symmetrically? I don't imagine it's detrimental for it to be like that, just aesthetic.

 

Tank you Wynnded
Here is the link how is supposed to be

This is what I was thinking might be what's going on. In the video I can see that the lower part of the shock boot (where the hose clamp is) in only about an inch above the external reservoir. In the photos that you attached, the lower part of the boot is much further up the body of the shock causing the boot to compress too much and become misshapen. So, as suggested, loosen that clamp and slide the boot down the body of the shock.

 

Thank you so much for your help "Wynnded"
I am with you I will try to do that
Do you know what the biggest tire size I can go with the those trd pro bilstein?

 

Honestly, not a clue on that one. I stick with stock tire sizes, I have another vehicle for off-road. All I can say is that you're going to be limited by what will fit on the front, not the rear.

Nitto ridge grappler vs bfgoodrich KM3 What do you think is better?

 

The shocks are not the determining factor on tire size. The determining factor for the tire size is that they will contact the front bumper cap and front mud flap on turns.

 

Ridge Grappler

 

I will check ridge grappler tires
Because I only have 2" at the from

Take it to a shop, pay a professional to do the install

 

You didn't mention that you were asking about the front coilovers. They're labeled. You don't want to do this, pay a qualified shop.

 

Just wander if 2016 toyota tundra trd pro bilstein shocks will fit in 2016 toyota tundra platinum

 

Yes.

 

I just call to toyota corporation, and toyota part and they said doesn't fit I am confuse

 

Did they explain why they claim they would not fit? I can't think of any reason whatsoever that they would not fit. But I have been wrong before...
