Leveling kit

I purchased a 2.5” leveling kit for my 2000 Tacoma prerunner 3.4l
Just wanting to know tips for the install process due to me doing it all by myself. Tried once before and was short an inch or two to fit my shocks into place , was having a hard time pushing down on my suspension ...

 

There are like ellevendny billion different kits out there. Which one do you have?

Not really sure what you mean by "pushing down on your suspension"...

 

I mean when I remove my shock and install the leveling piece on top and go to put my shock back in the lower suspension is needed to be pushed or pryed down and when doing it alone I was about an inch or two away and couldn’t get it

 

I advise against the use of spacers.

With that out of the way, your bottle jack under your wheel well, sitting on your upper control arm, is the easiest way to get it done.

Make sure to protect the inner wheel well.
