Video install of lift kit with UCA on 13 KDSS or 'close enough' vehicle

[joeee128]

Does any one know of a video guide to installing a lift kit (with UCA's) on a 2013 Trail with KDSS? Or a vehicle that is close enough to be an analogue?

I've received my ICON Stage 2 kit and am considering doing the install myself but would like to get an idea of what tools and areas of expertise are necessary to do it right.

Thanks a ton! So this guide is for installing Toytec spacers... I am assuming its equally good for use with replacing the actual suspension parts? I want to replace the UCAs as well.

Yes, this works for all suspension replacements...I actually installed new shocks and springs, not toytec spacers. I used Antman and Sp8ball's thread as an example because it's pretty much the same exact thing no matter what you plan to install.

I did also replace my UCAs, but not during the time I documented the lift install. I decided to save that until later, which ended up being pretty easy to do by itself.
