    What’s up guys! New here. Just purchased a 3” suspension lift for my 16’ Tacoma XP. Just wondering if there were any special tools, tips or anything that may help the process go smoothly.

    Which lift is it? You're about to have fun....a helper probably would be nice to have. I haven't installed a lift, so no help on that...but there's plenty of videos you can watch ahead of time to prepare. Good luck....and post before and after pics.

    If you get vibration after lift. Might need the ecgs bushing replaced. There a ton on here to read about people putting I. 2 and under lifts. I have a 3in and have aftermarket uca’s with the ecgs bushings and diff drop with carriers bearing spacer. I have no vibration and cv angle are ok.

    Have you considered other lifts? Just a asking. After being on TW I’ve definitely learned a lot when it comes to picking out a good suspension vs budget friendly to ones that are great and others that aren’t. Just my 2cents
    Good luck
