them and break off the threads of the new bump stop
relocation brackets.

Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends a wall
mounted strut compressor be used when performing

compressor, please have these steps performed by
your local Toyota Dealership.

47. Working on the driver side strut, measure the exposed
threads sticking out of the middle bolt on the stock strut.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side strut.

upper strut plate in the stock location once the strut is put
back together with the strut pre load spacers. Repeat pro-
cedure on the passenger side strut.
