Installation of Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs # AL60809 on 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Question:
some videos show disassembly of rear end, but your instructions say you inside springs. What about the rubber stop that is already inside the spring, will these stay?

To install the Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs, part # AL60809 on your 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser, it does require you to remove the coil springs on the rear of your vehicle
To remove the coil springs on your FJ Cruiser you will raise the rear of the vehicle and support the frame with jack stands. Detach the shock absorbers at the lower shock mount. Detach the panhard rod at the lower axle mount. If your vehicle has rear anti-sway bar you may have to disconnect the links.
Then, mark the position of the coil spring on the upper spring seat so the spring can be reinstalled in the same position. Carefully lower the axle until the coil springs are free, making sure not to strain the brake lines.
The large rubber jounce bumper at the top of the coil spring does need to be trimmed before reinstalling on the vehicle. I am including a picture from the instructions that will show how much needs to be trimmed on the jounce bumper. The upper part of the bumper after being trimmed will reinstall on the vehicle.
I am including a link to the installation instructions on the # AL60809 helper springs.
