    How long did it take you guys to install the maxtrac spindles with the 5100 shocks and rear blocks? I use my taco to commute so I only got the weekends to install and don't feel like over paying at a place down here in socal

    Get some local members to give you a hand & it could be done in a few hours. If I remember right the first one we did took like 4 or 5 hours. Get started early enough & you could probably make it to the alignment shop.

    Do your brake lines FIRST ahead of time, on a separate weekend, that way if you run into issues you have time to correct that, and move on to lift another weekend.

    I wish I knew some TW members down here! :(
    Am I good workin the install with a couple jacks and jack stands?
    Any special tools that helped you guys with the install? Does the 4inch maxtrac lift kit come with instructions or is it pretty self explanatory?
    I watched the 6.5 lift video on the 2016 from YouTube,.., very detailed, and could work as instructions right?!

    @rainyben45 I'm sure there are some threads for SOCAL on here, lots of trucks on here from California in general. I wouldn't rely on the youtube video, that's a 2016 and it looks like youre running a 2014. Plus, i don't think an edited 10 min video will make anyone comfortable with wrenching on their truck. When in doubt, ASK ASK ASK. I haven't done mine yet and I've had so many questions (prob some stupid ones) and @SpruceTaco and @ChadsPride have helped out a ton (i'm sure i'm leaving some people out ,sorry about that) total wealth of knowledge from these guys and if nothing else...@ChadsPride will like your shit!

    @rainyben45 like @HuntTaco said find threads for your area, look in the regional section. Offer up some beer & pizza & you'd probably have plenty of guys willing to help & it's still cheaper than paying a shop. Haha

    Really getting excited after gathering parts, almost ready for the install. However, I've got no shop space and heading in to get rotator surgery within the week. Wondering, for those that paid for an install, ball-park, what did it cost?

    Did you or do you have to switch out the stock rear shocks when you buy a leaf pack?

    Also

    With no blocks in the rear is the front & back level if you do a leaf pack?
