    Has anyone attempted to have the rear spring TSB completed while having either aftermarket shocks or blocks installed?

    I have an appointment on Friday to check into this and I have blocks installed on the rear...

    Thanks in advance,

    Some folks have- Some of those were told to pound sand, Some got the work done. It's kind of a crap shoot.

    I had blocks on mine and they said they weren't sure if the new hardware would allow for the blocks to be put back. The tech was real nice about it and when I picked her up they had put the blocks back. Now I really need to hurry up and get the 5100's and Eibachs installed. The rake is really noticeable but I like the level the rear is at. No vibrations or anything either.

    Well at least there is some positive here...

    Here is my deal, I am over factory warranty mileage but I have owned 5 Toyota's (most brand new off the lot). I called customer care and opened a case. I expected them to say "pound sand" but they are calling me in on Friday to "evaluate" my claim that I need this done.

    I guess we shall see what happens then...

    I will keep everyone informed.

    That's why I had my TSB done before any suspension work. I realize that might not be a possibility for some, but if you have the choice wait with your mods just to be sure!
