yeah my mechanic had a hard time trying to properly seat them on my TRD shocks when i got the whole setup installed last weekend. it took awhile to adjust but it is possible. just takes sometime messing around with and you'll get it. but i can tell you the job was so much easier using "Snap On" tools.

I had no problem installing my h-tech's. Neither did my buddy, they went on with ease.

Nope shouldn't matter if the springs are on stock shocks, me and game-over both have h techs on stock shocks.

done a few installs with h-techs and they all went good without any problems, fitment wasn't an issuse and if that is what your having then you probably have the wrong springs that aren't made for the tc.
