    tryomg to install Bilstein 5100’s on the rear of my 2014 DCSB 4x4 Tacoma. Can’t figure out how to tighten the top but, there’s no where to hold the threaded shaft like there was on the ome Shock? Amy advice?

    Hey buddy! You need to use an allen wrench on the very top while trying to tighten. Can't remember which size allen.

    Did you use a spring compressor for the fronts? One of my dads coworkers just used the weight of the truck to compress them as he guided the shaft in but I don't know what's better. Thanks
