    That's exactly what I put on my '15 Base AC Taco. It was a massive improvement, mainly because the stock suspension was shot. Unless the dealership didn't tighten the LCA shock mount with the weight of the truck on the ground, it looks to be installed correctly. I'm hoping that the pic you posted is before the stealership "replaced" the inner and outer tie rod ends.

    Id be inclined to loosen UCA to frame, LCA to frame and lower shock bolts and give those areas a couple taps with a hammer to re-orient the rubber bonded bushings to the proper rotation for the new lift height. Otherwise those assemblies look properly installed.

    I just installed a full set of 3rd Gen TRD Pro shocks and coilovers. This is what I had to do. Not because it was a rough ride, but I got wicked rattles going over bumps. Put it back up on the lift and loosened the lower shock bolts as well as the lower control arm cam bolts (mark the location carefully first). Brought the truck back down to the garage floor and re tightened everything. Perfect now. Very nice ride with the Pro suspension too.
