hey, do you have another thread where you detailed the install? I’m looking to do exactly what you’ve mentioned. I’d like the level of front end a little bit and also have some side to side control. I’m curious did you use the stock springs and what original hardware was retained compared to what hardware from the 5100 did you have to use?

 

No post on the install. The ToyTec Ultimate Coilover comes pre-assembled ... a literal bolt-on ... so no need for a spring compressor ... ToyTec uses 700-lb. Eibach Springs for the GX460 ... I also installed SPC Upper Control Arms at the same time ... for improved tire positioning in the wheel well to avert the need for a Body-Mount-Chop while maintaining alignment specs. What's nice about the ToyTec Ultimate Coilover is that all hardware can be transferred to a new Bilstein 5100 shock in the future. The adjustable lower spring perch design is top-notch.

Again ... for me ... the ability to dial-in height ... and side-to-side ... makes this a great solution for all reasons. Have the same setup on an FJ Cruiser (with 600-lb. Springs) that had a full inch of body lean on the driver's side ... but no more.

If you are a "Toyota Person" ... these fit on so many of the later Toyota body-on-frame vehicles ... since the suspension is essentially the same. So my point ... save the original shock assemblies... so you can move the ToyTec Ultimate Coilover (hardware) to another vehicle in the future.
