I bought a pair of Bilstein 4600 rear shocks for my '08 Tundra, 4.7 V8 2WD.

According to Bilstein, these are the correct shocks, 24-186247, but I do not for the life of me see how these are going to work with the OE upper hardware. Except for the threaded portion, the rod is way too big for the OE hardware, and there's not nearly enough room for all if it.

Any advice?

    After doing a crap load of research and reading numerous threads, I finally had bilstein 5100's installed in the front. Let me say "best money spent". They are awesome. The ride is a little stiffer but I actually like it better. They leveled out my truck very nice (2nd or middle setting), with...

    Hate to start a knew thread over this, but been through all of them to no avail. Tires, wheels/offset, alignment, suspension, and the check list continues yada yada yada. Here's the background: Purchased my 07' 5.7l 4wd Tunny with 70k on it in 09'. Bone stock. Steering wheel had a slight...

  6. Improved steering and handling

    2Gen-Steering System & General Handling
    What I did to improve my trucks steering response and handling characteristics. The first area I focused on was the rear suspension that I lowered 3.25" using components purchased from SOS Performance and Alcan. The leaf springs are hung under the axle and a TRD rear sway bar, Air-Lift bags and...
