[steelephillips]

I just ordered a three inch lift kit from toytec, I am going to tackle it this weekend. Can someone point me to a thread which provides some direction? Tools needed, instructions, etc. thanks fellas.

the directions that comes with the kit are pretty good , i did mine by myself in a day , much easier if you have a friend to help you .
i have seen a couple of threads on here with pics of the install , try a search ,

Mine did not come with instructions. It was not a very hard install. the way i did mine remove the carter pin and loosen top ball joint nut and hit the spindle with a hammer (where ball joint shaft goes in to spindle) to jar loose the ball joint but do not hit the threads (really need a ball joint seperator) should be a 17 mm nut. also take out the abs cable 10mm bolt kind of an insurance policy not to strecht and damage. Try not to let the CV joint seperate in the boot. next loosen the top 3.... 14mm nuts on top of strut. next remove the bolt in bottom of strut should be a 19 or 21mm nut on one side and a 19mm bolt head. Will need a strut/spring compressor to remove spring to install on new strut. My recomendation is get new bushings and strut mounting plate also. Hope this helps. the back was trail and error for me. the rear shocks was kinda a booger.

Lol save yourself the effort of undoing your LBJs. There are 4 bolts that hold the LBJS to the spindle. Remove your sway bar links. It is a really easy install.

Btw what lift did you get they have a few options on there
