    Can any of you please take some photos of your springs for me? I have some wierd issues with the install that is making me question if they are reusing the OR springs or not.

    It is kind of urgent as my truck is currently stuck on a lift.

    Thankyou.

    Spring compression and perch.

    It takes way too must force compared to the oem bilstiens to get the springs onto the strut. I do not think the OEM Offroad springs are compatible.

    A few.
    The stock springs get used, there supposed to be used. New coil springs dont come with the TRD kit.

    I figured out what was wrong. Since toyota's instructions that I could find publicly are pretty much the same as the regular strut install. So the diagrams involved have the lower strut hat in the configuration of the OEM bilsteins, while the TRD lift kit has you install the lower hats in reverse.

    Which they were in the same configuration out of the box as the OEM Bilstein when I did an inventory of my delivery thursday.

    Knowledge and tech data is key.
