A question for all of you that actually lifted your 4Runner yourself
What tools were actually needed? I have OME springs and shocks so I guess the shocks will need to be build ( Whatever that is) and I have Dirt King UCA's I am debating just pulling it in the garage and doing it myself since finding help is so hard. Is there a tool list so I can amass everything needed tonight and tomorrow. Also how long did it take? I am thinking get it done over the weekend and get an alignment Monday or tuesday of anyone is open.
UPDATED 1/31/21-
As for tools there are a ton needed
12mm and 14 mm for the skid plate and the ABS line mounts
17 mm for the boot nuts,
21 for the LCA bolts and lower ball joint I think
19 for something.
8mm for the top of the shocks
6mm allen key for the sway bar removal
Sockets in those sizes but I used mostly wrenches
I did need spring compressor for the rear, the front did not need them.
a Breaker bar
A pry bar
10mm for something
A hammer to separate the UCA
A torque wrench
I am really tired, it took me 2 days to do but I tore the labrum in my right shoulder so I did it one handed and that made it rough lifting and getting everything in place but it's done. I will not do it again unless I have a garage to work in with a full lift. If I remember more I will update it.
