If they do not, then work on freeing those up AFTER you are done with installing the new shocks. Loosen the LCA alignment nuts (no need to remove the nut) and make sure they rotate freely a 1/4 or so turn in both directions via the the bolt head/adjuster side with a wrench. Just keep an eye on the brake line and ABS wire to make sure there isn't tension on them. I recommend a bungee on the spindle to pull it aft and inboard so it doesn't flop out towards you and possibly bonk you in the face or pull the CV out of its joint. Remove the upper control arm ball joint nut and separate from the spindle. Just needs to be kissing the LCA so you don't bind the lower shock bolt making it difficult to remove. Put a jack under the LCA ball joint area to support the weight of the LCA, brake and spindle. Loosen the lower shock bolt, do not remove. Remove the brake line and ABS wire bolt from the knuckle, keep an eye on it during the project to make sure it has slack and doesn't get tugged on. Once both are removed, you should be able to rotate the sway up and out of the way. Remove the upper sway bar link nut on both sides. If the bolt head turns too much, the alignment cam will turn and bend or break off the alignment tabs welded to the frame. ALWAYS loosen from the NUT while holding the bolt head. Especially the Lower Control Arm (LCA from here on out) Alignment bolts!! Those are frozen on almost every truck!! Remember to mark the alignment bolt position on the forward and aft bolts before loosening so you have an approximate mark to get you close until you can get it aligned. If you can spray those points a couple times beforehand while you're still driving the truck, it really helps.

Soak your upper sway bar link nut, upper ball joint nut, lower shock bolt (both sides) and lower control arm alignment bolts (both sides and in between the frame and bushing, most important things to soak) with your favorite penetrating oil (BG En-Force has been the best I have used except for Toyota penetrating oil, that stuff is great.but I don't get it free anymore since I don't work at the dealer now lol) for as long as you can. Remove dirt and debris build up from all the areas you are going to apply penetrating oil.
lol Just make sure that both front wheels are off the ground when doing the front, same with the rear.
SYNERGY SUSPENSION 2ND GEN HOW TO
I'm going to assume you know how to jack the truck up, use jack stands and remove your wheels. The best way to find out which side they need to go on is to look up the part number on Toyota Parts website that is on the leaf spring if it's still there. I won't get into detail too much on that. I assume the majority will be the "firm ride" since I have never seen a TRD OR without a tow package.
SYNERGY SUSPENSION 2ND GEN PRO
BUT the leaf springs.there are 14 part numbers!! The differences are left vs right, standard vs Off Road/TRD Pro vs "firm ride" (these are 3 leaf +1 helper), Access cab vs Double cab and even Auto vs Manual. Thanks to (modified your image a little bit) and others from the thread linked below, sorry for stealing your pictures.but thank youįor the rear the shocks are the same on both sides so there is nothing to worry about there. Here is some pictures to help with the front shock orientation. I'd be curious if we have any Toyota Parts or Service employees that may be able to help to break this down a little. One would assume that the left front from a DCLB could have a slightly higher spring rate or slightly longer, but I can't find that info. In fact, Toyota has 5 different part numbers for the spring specifically for the TRD Off Road (also happens to be for the TRD Pro as well) depending 2wd vs 4wd and even wheel base (127" and 140"). While the springs with certain color dots are factory installed on a certain side, I have not see any evidence that the spring rate or length is different between the part numbers/dot colors. You can see the coil cut-off circled in RED barely peaking out behind the sway bar link. What is important is that the DOTS and lower spring mount coil cut-off section are facing the REAR.

What does that even mean!?ĮDIT: Long overdue install tips and other info update is in BOLD!!! Don't get caught up on the COLOR of the DOTS. It's a bit frustrating when you're looking at a thread and someone does a write up and doesn't give more of a review than "it lifted the front about an inch and it rides better". However thats about as far as most peoples reviews go. But I read that some have put the 3rd gen suspension on their 2nd gen and that most have noticed a gain in ride height and have improved ride quality. My stock suspension is far from worn out. But I recently purchased and installed a 2017 TRD Off Road suspension (100 miles) on my 2015 DCLB TRD Sport with 36k miles. Hey guys, I'm normally just a creeper on the forums.
