If you havent already asked Dr. Google this same question...ill say this...

About a month ago, I bought the spring compressor tool that is referenced in the following video. I did NOT feel comfortable using them, aborted the process and put everything back together.(yet again)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkVLBOnAifc

Another reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E6u7dC7EHg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo0FJSi-KYs

I did 2 things a little different than the videos. I did not loosen the LCA nuts very much.. so that the LCA didnt just fall down (it needed to be "helped" a little). I also added red locktite to the 2 bolts holding the ball joint to the steering knuckle...Just because.

For liability reasons, im going to repeat the advice of the above referenced video and add: "you should not attempt this yourself. Take it to a professional."

I'm putting this kit on with 285/70/17 tires with stock TRDOR wheels. Can anyone tell me if spacers are necessary using this wheel?

**Edit: Sorry, should have specified that SPC control arms are goin on at the same time. Are the spacers necessary when using these control arms?

I have TRD pro wheels with 285 KO2s and spc arms. Spacers were not needed to clear the spc’s. Have 2” lift on the pro. Had spidertraxx on before the 285s and pulled them when the tires went on to avoid BMC for now. Shop didn’t have time to do both my alignment and BMC. Miss the spacer look. Oh well. Saved $450 on the BMC which seemed like a rip off for it.

After going through 146 pages there has been mixed answers on clip setting bottom notch or second from the bottom. I will not have any added weight up front. I don’t want ANY factory rake and want it completely level. Not a fan of the nose down or the nose high look. Kit should be going in within the next two weeks hopefully sooner. Please let me know. Thanks

After two weeks with no word I checked in with ToyTec on Friday 2-26 and was told it’d be another 2-3 weeks.

That’s what I want it to be like thank you. Are your running stock UCAs? If so problem with alignment?

I am running stock UCA's.
The tech at Firestone said there was no problem with the alignment(that was with the OEM 265/70/17 on a 17x7.5 wheel)
I just put the 255/75/17's on with a 17x7 wheel... and to be honest, don't know if i should have it aligned again or not.
