    I have decided to tackle my suspension and brake kit install myself and leave the post-alignment + new wheels/tire mount to the shop.

    Ive got the stage 3 icon Suspenion to throw on to my 2012 4x4 V6 tacoma. Plus, im installing EBC's "stage 4" kit... front rotors + pads and stainless steel lines all around.

    I have a 3 ton jack + 2 jack stands (3 ton individually)
    I bought some C-clamps for the AAL install and ive got a full socket/extension set plus my torque wrench... no air tools, just some patience and a little work.

    My expectation is to finish it all in a single day...

    Anything crucial im missing or should know? First im throwing on the AAL, then ill do the rear shocks and brake lines before moving to the front.

    Thanks for the help.

    Gobi roof rack. Icon coilovers, Icon tubular UCAs, FOX 2.0 rear shocks, Icon 3-leaf progressive AAL.
    I would do the AAL and rear shock on one side completely, then do the other side.
