    Send them a 7 min video from tacomaholic on installing the bushing. If it’s beyond their understanding then you want to use someone else…it’s not very technical. What he’s trying to tell you is that all the shit that the guys installing the lift take off and then replace is going to have to come apart again to install the bushing…you are going to have to pay ECGS full labor to do something that adds 20 minutes to the job the shop that’s installing the lift is doing. Buy the tool, then eBay it or sell it on classifieds here and get most of your money back.

    Why does this seem soooo complicated? I've had 2 tacomas with leveling kits, 1 with 5100's and 1 with spacers and did not need to replace any bushings. Current truck has had 2" spacers for 5 yrs with no issue. You are just over thinking it.

    I am just doing the ECGS bushing to be on the safe side because it is very recommended when you lift
