    Going to be removing some lift blocks on the rear of a 2014 TRD Off Road 4X4. Besides new Ubolts is there anything else I will need? Is it basically remove old U-bolt, remove spacer, and then reinstall nee Ubolts. I will probably have more questions, especially when I do the fronts. I have none of the old hardware and Im trying to research what I need. Thanks.

    Iirc it's as simple as remove block, lower springs onto centering pin, torque U bolts in cross pattern and check again after 50-100 miles

    Make sure the shocks you have installed won't bottom out if you remove the lift blocks.

    Suspension lift is lift that is gained with taller/stiffer springs (leafs or coils)

    A block just moves the stock spring up higher

    More travel/articulation

    When the springs are paired with a good damper, the ride quality improves too

    I purchased my truck with a 6" lift on it. Back was 1.5" lower than the front. I measure the difference and added bigger lift blocks to the back to level it out. It now has 3" lift blocks on the rear to bring it level with the front.

    A block lift is like stuffing your underwear with socks.

    5100s and OME 885 coils front, 5100s and AAL for the TSB leaf pack (overload left in) rear. Jeraco camper shell.
    May I use this as my signature? I'm dying laughing. Counter point, suspension lift is like taking those supplements "guaranteed" to make you bigger. :rofl:

    Trying to educate myself here. Not my first Tacoma but the first First truck I've had a lift on. I don't take it off-road much at all. Never do any crawling or rock climbing. (I live in Florida)
    What is axle wrap?

    Cucumbers are natural, healthy and definitely make you bigger :bananadance:
