    so guys I'm putting a fat bobs lift kit on my truck tomorrow what other things besides what's in the kit will I need to have to put the kit on? Obviously tools I know that. Will I need to replace the center pin in the leaf springs?

    Yes....check to see if there's center pins included. Also you may want to consider getting new ubolts. Local shops carry those. Ratcheting clamps are useful for the leaf spring compression.

    Some people use a spring compressors for the front while some just rotate the shock inside the spring.

    The front took me like 3 hours (2.5 for one side and .5 for the other ) The back I had a shop do it but I've helped another person do an aal. Depending on where you are see if there's a local tacoma world group that there might be people whod be willing to help for beer and pizza.

    Good luck man if you have any questions just ask :thumbsup:

    I don't think it's going to be that bad. I'm just worried about the front spacer I don't quite understand what you are supposed to spin 180 degrees. Is it the hole shock or just the spacer

    The shock itself because there's a bracket for the brakes that will be in the way and the main part is the bottom of the shock wont line up anymore to bolt in.
