Do I need to jack or lift my truck for a trd cat back install?

Got the old one out can seem to get the new one in over the rear axle

 

Cut that ho off before the rear axle. BOOM!

 

Jack it up a bit and put the exhaust in by going from rear to front

 

form the back of the truck

 

sorry fat fingers - from the back of the truck?

 

Yup. You're basically going to feed the front part of the exhaust over the axle first that way you won't have to fight the end of the exhaust

 

well its still not wanting to go

 

Probably need to jack it up some more. That's the easiest way. I was struggling when I was putting my stock exhaust back on for like an hour or so then I did it that way and it took like 10-20 minutes. Oh you could try lowering your spare tire as well so you have more room

 

ok yeah lowered spare getting ready to jack it up

 

any other tips?

 

That's about it. Having a second person helps too because of how awkward the exhaust is. You should be good to go

 

buddy on the way!

 

This is the TRD and its all one piece that makes it weird

 

It's a pain in the ass. I had a buddy help me mainly to keep the pipe from hitting/pulling the brake line

 

Alot of the right ups say come from the front not the rear - mine is 2014 so we will see

 

You could always check on YouTube as well if you're curious

 

In! thx

 

Been a few years since I did mine on my 09 but I do know that I didn’t jack it up at all but can’t say for sure if I did or didn’t lower the spare. Good luck though.

 

No problem. And welcome to TW

 

Drop the spare.
