Did you install your ToyTec Lift on your own or get an install??

Im purchasing the ToyTec Lift in the next few days. Just wondering if you guys installed it yourself or pay to get it done. If so, how much did you pay?

 

What toytec lift did you buy?

 

Do it your self if you have the know how and the tools. What Toytec lift are you getting?

 

Thats the one Ive been looking at.

 

Very easy to do. I have always done mine. Its no joke 4 bolts to take your front coil overs out.

 

Wat jlee said if your mechanicly handy do it and also have the tool then do it but if you don't take it some where

 

What about the rear leafs? Easy to do as well?

 

I installed the ultimate kit my self its really not that hard and does not require any special tools. The most difficult part was the rear add a leaf.

 

rear AAL its alittle bit more time consuming since you have to droop the axle and stuff to loosen it all but still not hard.

 

Right on, thanks guys! Im sure I will be on here asking questions while Im trying to install this!

 

You don't even have to be mechanically handy, you just have to be not-retarded.

It's all taking bolts out followed by putting bolts back in. As long as you don't suddenly find yourself welding, everything's going fine.

The rear is easier to do than the front. Just make sure you have two jacks.

 

heres a nice How-To

^^^^ hahaha, so is this kit ok? any bad experiences with Toytec?

 

Thats going in my sig

 

we did the ultimate lift in my bro n laws 04 d/c. it was easy half day

 

A lot of guys are happy with that kit no problems with Toytec from me that's where I got mine at.

 

Im happy with mine but the front end will get a little stiff if you crank up the coil overs past 3" and i would recomend a good uca to go along with the kit.

 

i have the the ultimate lift ki w/ LR uca's, ome dakkar leaf pack, install was a breeze and i had no clue what so ever, you will do just fine. if you chose to get aftermarket uca's i would suggest getting a new set of bolts for the control arms and cutting them out ( you will see why if you go this route ) seems that toyota in their infament wisdom decide to put the bolts in backwards. < rolling eyes...........its alot easier to cut them out. the leaf pack was time consuming for me because i took my time and but easy as it was direct swap from the oem leafs. if i would have done this in one day i could have easily done it. basic hand tools, a good jack and stands. Remember PB blaster is your friend, spray the night before and before you start cracking them bolts/nuts. you will just fine.

 

it is alot easier with two people. it is a fun project.

make sure you measure before and after.
