Dobinsons, Bilstein, or Toytec on 02 SR5 AC 4x4

Dang man sorry to hear about your experience, getting the incorrect bolts must have been super frustrating.

When I did the install I put the arms in after bolting the shock up. Definitely makes it easier in my opinion. I also have my bottom bolts in the opposite way then recommended without any issues. Like you experienced it can be a pain in the ass because the cv axle gets in the way. Hopefully you like them and it ends up being worth all the time. Also you can definitely adjust them on the truck. I have a few times now with no problems

 

@805Tundra Thats great to hear. I’d definitely at some point like to see what I’d get adding the last half inch after this setup settles some. I’d really like to keep my lift at about 23” and I’m pretty sure I’ll end up more like 22.5” again after couple months of riding. I feel the passenger side bolt had plenty of room to go either way but the drivers side was definitely questionable. I have replaced the cv axels 4 times over the past 20 years, unlikely due to the bolt direction though.

 

I ended up at 22.5” when it settled. Had to adjust driver up a hair because I had a slight lean on that side. Overall I think you will be pumped on them. I been happy with mine so far
