Questions on installing PP 1" lift springs
I'm want to install a set of rear PP 1" lift springs and was wondering if anyone has instructions on how to do it. Did Performance Products provide instuctions? Also, did you put the isolator/bump stop cone back on?

You just take out the stock springs and put those in place of them...they should have come with some orientation instructions, to be sure you get them in there right side up...no idea about the cone.

If you only get the rear springs your truck will have a bit of a rake to it.
Here is someone that just did a great writeup that you can follow:

Note that linked directions referenced disconnected shocks & what appears to be the panhard (to get the springs in w/o compressor). When I did my PP springs I happened to be doing shocks at the same time and found that I could put the new springs in w/o compressor (by disconnecting sway bars and shocks, leaving the panhard in place).
If you're not doing shocks, you'll either need to disconnect them (at the lower end) or use a spring compressor.

I noticed you have a 2002 4Runner...warning...its a pain in the neck to get at the rear shocks...access is extremely limited (ended up cutting mine...i replaced the stock with bilsteins)

I agree with MTL. You almost need to cut the shocks to get them off, so it would be easier to just bite the bullet and do it. Otherwise, you'll spend hours trying to take them off.
