They should be a direct bolt on in place of the others. Nothing special you need to do. I was hoping to find the TRD install instructions online, cause it's the same, but Sparks doesn't have it anymore.

You're slipping ack - the Hotchkis spring install pdf is still on Sparks, can follow this for strut replacement too.

Hey, I only said I was looking for the strut install.

But sadly they've been pulling more and more PDFs from the site.
