    Ok;first off I don't think I've claimed to be an authority on anything;as a matter of fact I said I didn't offroad.As for the rear shocks;I will not dispute your oppinion,but I will contact Wheelers Offrod,because I installed them exactly as they were sent to me,the adapters were already on the shocks & they only go on one way;I figured they were an authority on it,hence why I installed them as they are;if they are as you all seem to agree,upside down,I will correct them immediately & appreciate the heads up.The coils on the front were not seperated from the stuts;the spacer bolts on top of the unit and went back in the same way,again I'm not disputing you,but if it's wrong,it was wrong b4.Can you post a pic of a correct mounting.I will be visiting the local 4x4 shop to get their take on this.Hey;I'm here to learn,but not be ridiculed.Never made a claim to be an expert or know it all & hopefully if it's wrong it will be corrected with no adverse effects,all seems to be ok.If there are those of you that still feel the need to make jokes,have at it;I thought they were right,if not,I'll fix it.Thanks

    Likewise;I meant no ill intentions.I would like your oppinion on this though.I am posting another picture of the rear shock,from the side.As you can see the label on the shock is right side up;so is it correct that a company would make a product that when installed correctly their label would be upside down & unreadable?Just makes no sense to me,unless it is Toyotas design that creates this.:confused: Also;someone mentioned that the adapter should be rotated 90*.Is this true & why does it matter,(nevermind,after looking closely @ the pic I see why;shit),and why would Wheelers send me the shock w/the adapter on the wrong end knowing the year & model of my truck?Honest mistake possibly,but I would think they would know what they were doing.Anyway,here is the pic;what's your thoughts?Appreciate your input;trying to get this thing right.

    Ok....I didnt know you had 5125's.....The shock is mounted correctly. You DO need to rotate the adapter though. Take a pic of your front springs so I can get more detail on those, please?

    The end of the spring, where it dead ends, needs to be between the top plate studs......Your not running those UCA's now are ya?
