Help ! installing Bilstein 5100 with ome coil

HI !

I was installing bilstein 5100 with 880 oem coil in front my 02 tacoma and after everything done, sitting truck on tire, I've got problem

the top of shock look like this :


can someone have idea, is my shock is in fault, they were brand new.

 

I'll take a look at mine but it looks like you're missing a bushing and washer

 

Mine's a 2nd gen but it looks like you're missing the whole top of it.

 

You should have a thick black bushing up there

 

This is what you need. It can be from any vendor but I chose ToyTec.

Where did you order your setup from? Should have come with those bushings. Mine did anyway. Call whoever you ordered from and ask that they send them to you.

 

Most Bilstein's don't come with new bushings. Your supposed to reuse your old ones or buy new.

 

Have someone with a spring compressor take your old shocks apart. Reuse the washers and rubber bushings.

 

When I changed my 200,000 mile stock Bilsteins & coils to 5100's w/ 3" Eibach coils. The originals were wasted. So I bought that washer / bushing kit I listed above.

 

This picture is from http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com. It's a picture of a bilstein shock with an OME coil on it for first gen Tacomas.

I ordered the exact same combination you have and mine looks exactly like the picture.

 

I think this is what you need:
