    hello, I purchased a set of nice coilovers from a friend, went to install them but ran into an issue. I get the top three bolts in but the bottom mount is in a slight angle to where it should sit so wouldn't go in... So had to put the stock back in for now. I had toytec lifts put on new caps and bushings, can the top bolts be realigned ? Going to see what they can do, but thought maybe someone else had this issue too... Thanks!

    Thanks, the lca tabs are low enough to accept the shock with just removing the 2 bolts from the ball joint. i will ask toytec if they can rotate the shock but I would think they had something to go by when putting on the new caps, or maybe that has nothing to do with it.

    you can put a large screw driver or something in the bottom shock mount and rotate it, wont hurt anything
