Ok first off remove your old one.
If you havent lifted your hilux, suspension wise you wont need to adjust it.

But you will have to adjust it to the same length as the old one before installing.

Just got my one from snake racing today. Took a while to order it/ship it here. looks great now

Thanks. Is there any special procedure for getting the old one off, that is, do I need to jack the truck up or just undo where it sits?

It has been lifted (parabolics - about 2-3 inches), so do I just remove the old one, let the car sit on the springs then adjust the new one to the correct length? (if the truck rises when the old one is removed?)

Cheers.

I suppose the torque rod will be tight now if its up 2-3 inches

Undo it where it is right now, let it sit on the suspension. It might be hard to undo the bolts cause there will be a bit of stress placed on the rod at them mo.

When placing the new rod in, adjust it until you can place both bolts through without any hassles.
