2008 4runner SR5. Was easy getting everything apart.. buuut, it takes 2 people to rastle the bottom of strut back in its perch..Once that is done its gravy! Oh, another thing! Its much easier if you take the sway bar completely loose! all hardware off! ( So, you have a easier time getting the strut down far enough to get the 1-1/2 spacer on!) When all said and done it sits level! If the vehicle I just bought hadnt had new shocks all the way around I prolly would have gone a different route.
