Unchained’s 2021 TRD Sport Manual 3rd Gen Shit Talking.

No completed pics yet as there was a small install issue that needs to be fixed first

 

My bad. I should have caught it.

 

We all should have caught it, no big deal it will be fixed in no time

 

Before

 

Okay peeps need some help bad. Put 3rd Gen Off-road Coils in with 3rd Gen Bilstein 4600 shocks. We thought all was well until I got home and the top shock nut and bushing on the drivers side moved up and down a 1/2 inch or so. Now I have 7 washers on top to snug it up until I get it fixed. During install we forgot to put on the lower cushion washer which is what I think the problem is. This is tight as a sphincter with no movement. I should be okay for a few days as long as I take it easy with no bumpy roads or Highway you think? I don’t need to hear it’s dangerous etc just want to know if this should be good until I get it pulled apart?

 

Hey Rick, I've made the same mistake before, just caught it on the spring compressor before installing on the truck. There is a washer/ collar that goes under the top hat that rests on the top shelf of the shock piston. So long as you're gentle it won't damage anything, you're just not going to have any dampening from the shocks

 

You should be fine until you get it fixed. As long as it's all snugged tight. No trails for you
Good luck, hope all is well Rick

 

So I should be good for a bit

 

Is it going to ruin the lower seat cushion tab

 

I can't say for sure, but my instinct says you'll be fine. the purpose of the washer/ collar that you're missing is to lock the shock to the top mount so that it cycles w/ the spring

 

Okay we shall see

 

Guess I’m not staying stock long. Just ordered the Baja Kit from Toyota

 

So it took 7 washers on both sides to get it to snug up

 

Here’s the after back to stock

 

What's the Baja kit?

 

What the........

 

I am getting dizzy

 

Just went out and took some measurements. I used all 3rd Gen parts and all 3 corners are 21 inches from center hub to bottom of the fender flare, and the Driver's as expected is 20 1/2 that will be fixed with the 1/4 lean spacer. So now no Baja Kit for me as it will make me nose high, and I don't want to lift the rear at all. So I will be staying with full 3rd Gen suspension.

 

@Blais03 made me this awesome Pyrite Mica Color Matched mug. Also matched my retro decals as well. Thank you sir, and sorry for not posting sooner.
