For whatever reason my DIY rear coil replacement kit did not arrive with my metal tech order. Either they didn't put it in or they forgot to order it. Is there a way to get toyota parts or something to do it? I already scheduled my alignment and have a couple buddies coming over monday night to help me put the lift on and now I'm screwed with out these parts... Any ideas?
This is what I am missing

The bottom spring retainer is the key part. I would call and see if they can quickly ship and reschedule. Not something you want to shortcut.

The tops are easy...any 4R or FJ factory upper cup will fit and you should be able to find those quickly from a dealer.
 
You need to reschedule, the proper pieces will affect the height of the rear which will affect the height of the front and your alignment.
 
Do the front
Trick the airbags in high position
Get alignment
Do the rears next weekend
??????
 
If you must do the front due to the "the itch" tricking the rear airbags for a week wouldn't hurt anything and would accomplish your goals for sure.
 
I was all excited to get the thing done but oh well... I will hold off on the alignment till Friday when the rear is finished.
