About to install my lift

I'm looking for info on anything that I should look out for.

2015 4x4 Taco, ECRB, 885's, 5100's and AAL's if I need them. I have a diff drop on stand by. putting 265/75/16 tires on factory rims for now.

If I have Driver side lean, do I have to remove the coils and shocks on the driver side to put the spacer in?

Any other parts I'll need?

Any other tips to make the lift go smoother? I'll be using a very experienced master mechanic to help with the lift but he's never installed a lift before.

 

Make sure your lead springs are clamped good on both ends before adding AAL. Also I'd check to make sure your cam bolts on the lower control arms are not seized this was the case with mine. My installer had to cut them out an replace that an Lowe control arms.

 

Thanks, I'll check. This is a pretty clean truck, no salt or off road before I bought it.

 

On my 08 I had headstrong off-road install the taco lean spacer when they put my struts and coils together and it sat level

 

Do most Tacos have the lean?

And is it a factor of how tall the lift is?

 

^this. Most tacos have lca cam bolts that are seized. Both of mine were seized when I went to get an alignment after the lift.

My truck did have the lean, a total of .644" of trim packer (10mm) and 1/4" top plate spacer needed to be added to the drives side to get it even on both sides. As far as height of the lift I'm not sure if that has any effect on wether or not it will lean.

 

Thank you for the post.

 

Skip the diff drop.... unless you end up needing it later.

I was told by Headstrong not to do it when I got my kit from them.

 

Marie at headstrong off-road is the guru of all lift things taco!

 

A lesson I learned is double the time you think it will take you and make sure to have a way to get to a parts store for the random things you forgot. That was a fun walk...
