    See attachment. Note: since the top hat is not OEM, if lift kit came with torque specs for the three nuts on top, follow them. If not, follow Toyota's.

    Woohoo!

    I know mine was a bitch on one side with OME, but I managed to do it myself with a piece of calibrated 2x4, and pry bar, and about 37 F-bombs. I wish I had used the bottle jack, but I was so close I had myself convinced I could do without.

    I wanna thank you guys so much I could've have done it with everyone's help. I was almost convinced to put the oem suspension back in and take it to someone to install!

    Okay SOOOOO...

    I'm working on putting my aal in right now and since I am ever so lucky I broke a U bolt trying to get the nuts loose. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1428109845.091084.jpg

    I'm going to head to the hardware stores tomorrow to see if I can find another. If they don't have a metric size, could I get a standard? Also, I'm assuming it needs to be grade 8 as well? Worst case scenario is I have to order one online and be without and bum rides from friends.
