Lift install advice needed (OME leaf spings)

yup!
Just added the Icon AAL to my truck over Christmas.

get two jack stands, and jack up the truck so you can use the jack stands to support the read ( meaning you put the jack stands under the frame so there is no weight on your axle ) Then you remove both tires.

loosen up the U bolts on the side you are not working on, this should give you lots of wiggle room to manhandle the other side into place.

I put my jack under the side that I was working on. Gave me plenty of movement to raise and lower into place. I did have to man handle it a bit and even rotate slightly, but it was no big deal.



+1000 on what @Vlady said.

watch the break line on the drivers side. Mine was really close to its outer limits, I should have detached the bracket as mentioned above, but by the time I noticed I had my Ubolts back on and no leaks.

 

Both wheels should be completely removed. there is a ton of force throwing off your axle.

 

Okay thanks guys!! I was using two jack stands near where I'm working because it felt safer but I'll take off the other tire and move my second jack stand over there. I've been supporting the axle with an old bottle jack, next to the diff but ill get it under the diff. Should be able to swivel the axle around without that tire on there. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, seriously, thanks!

 

Just walked my gf back to work after lunch and saw this awesome old toyota, thought i’d share

 

Got it done! Ratchet strap and taking the other tire off did the trick

Thanks again guys

 

Cheers!
