    Just to check you guys are talking about this with the jack method of installation?

    And not loosening the LCA?

    i ran a ratchet strap threw the a arm around the strut pulling the strut towards the middle of the vehicle while i used a pry bar on the coil bucket thingy and the caliper. layed on the ground with my legs on the prybar and slipped the bolt in, easy as pie.

    Nope. I had the coilover fully assembled. To get it in without loosening the lca I put the Jack on top of the uca to push it down to get the lower shock eye to line up with the lca through bolt

    7th Injector kit, Trans Cooler, Donohoe c/o's, Billy's in the rear, FJ Cruiser Trail Team SE wheels.
    I just swapped out my Donahoe's for some 5100's I bought used, not much difference between the 2.

    But, I was on the Toytec website and noticed that the 5100's can be purchased fully adjustable rather than the 3 notch setting:

    not worth it for a 1st gen with eibach coils, You'll have to have them near the bottom anyways to keep the lift around 3''.

    Is this how the bushings go? With the top plate under the top bushing and then the stock washer under the nut?

    I have to look at mine but I think the metal "saucer" looking piece goes on top, under the nut

    also, I think the thicker bushing goes on first, then the oval bushing then the saucer thing sits like a dome over the oval bushing, then the nut
