yea i understand that. but when i put my stuff back on, the distance from the top (the strut tower i guess) to the lower mounting bolt was pretty tight. i had just enough clearance. wouldnt the spacer make this distance 3" shorter? would i just compress the spring as mush as possible to give me room? or try and push down on the rods/stuff below?...maybe these are stupid questions but let me know thanks

one more thing....that toytech.com website has a 3" kit for 300. i see daystar has a 2.5" kit for like 160. the daystar leveling kit doesnt come with new rear coils, just spacers. and they arent metal, some sort of plastic...any thoughts? is this one of those, get what you pay for kinda things?

I am in the same boat as this guy, looking to replace just the strut on both front and rear. Where can I find a step by step guide on replacing the front & back struts? Can't find anything complete out there
