    Hey y'all - i'm considering getting this small lift kit from Bob for my 5 lug but I believe the included PDF instructions are for 6 lug models and haven't been able to find any other resources.

    link to the kit - the "poly spacer" is the thing I don't understand how to install.
    https://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/toyot...a-leaf-lift-kit-2wd-5lug-1995-2004-p8505.aspx

    All resources i've found show a 6 lug coil assembly where the spacer mounts to the top of the entire assembly and that appears to be what the instructions are for but the 1st gen 5 lugs have a shock that slides out from the bottom and only has one mounting bolt at the top. Do I just uninstall the bil4600 and put the circular spacer at the top of each strut before mounting? It appears that there is only one hole in the spacer included from FB so I imagine it goes on the strut itself. Part of me feels like that is wrong but I can't imagine another way unless it goes above the coil below the single lock nut for the strut.

    video with timestamp showing what my strut looks like (different brand but same exact style). This guy has great 5 lug videos for anyone with a 1st gen - https://youtu.be/3zMwOvZI0Tc?t=396


    pls don't direct me to the 5-lug section. basically no one checks it
