2006 Toyota Fortuner Bilstein shocks and H&R springs

1. Konis are great becasue they are adjustable for rebound damping, meaning you can alter the ride quality between firm and soft.

2. First order of business is to remove the stock shocks from the rear...

3. ...and from the front.

4. The Koni shocks are inserts that slip on the stock shock housing. We happen to have a spare shock housing lying around.

5. We transfer the rubber spring mont form the old set to the new one.

6. The H&R springs are then slipped over the shock.

7. The spring hat is then placed on top and the shock nut tightened.

8. The completed shock/spring assembly is ready to go in the front.

9. Installation is reverse of removal.

10. Slip the shock to the top of the mounting point under the hood.

 

11. Three bolts hold the shock in place, while two below hold it to the arm.

12. Here's the knob that comes with the Konis enabling you to adjust the shock damping.

13. The rear shock and spring are a bit easier since they are separated.

14. Here is the rear Koni shocks.

15. Insert the neccessary washers and bolts to the top of the shock.

16. Here is the completed H&R spring and Koni shock.

17. Lower, better looking and better handling.
