Genius: Installed 3" blocks in 2005 Toyota Tacoma V6 Prerunner. This is the best video/method needed to install a rear leveling kit/Blocks. Thank you for the great video you have created=Practicality & great results. Thank you.
Thanks for the real world video. Bc most of us don’t have lifts in our driveways and have to do stuff the old school method. So thank you for this video bc I’m wanting to install these on my Colorado.
I’ll be installing a 1” block on my 2020 frontier as soon as USPS shows up, and this video gave me the confidence I needed to take on the task. Thank you, brotha. Great video!
This method worked great for what I needed to do! Mechanic put one block backwards and caused a major vibration and got it flipped around in no time doing it this way at home. Thank you kindly for posting!!!
After watching your Bilstein video i just changed all of mine on my jeep to 5100 Bilstein front and rear and man what a difference it rides fantastic,,,
Word of advice. I did this and it absolutely worked! However, engage the parking brake and go easy with the floor jack. Lifting the leaf spring will cause it to Misalign. Easily lift the jack EASY. Once you start lifting the leaf spring, try your best to keep an eye on the little butt that’s going to sit on the lift block. I recommend 2 people. Just be careful lifting the spring and aligning it. It took about an hour and a half. This video definitely helped!
it sits nice now with that 1inch block, maybe get the chrome vinal wrapped with the same colour as the front grill or the rim's if there is a place close to you that does car wrap
Nice. I de-chromed my 08 Tundra with Plasti Dip. Much cheaper than buying the bumper covers. My truck is about same color as one in this video. It’s been about 1 year since dip, no big problems just a little touchup here and there for some rock chipping.
Will the leaf spring fall into place with the holes with a 3" block? You dont think I will have trouble and I'll have to move the wheel around without dropping the whole rear end?
You left out the hardest part which is when the leaf spring inevitably doesn't line up with the pins in the block. That has happened to me on any truck I've done this job on. Then you have to muscle the axle around to get it to line up which you wouldn't have been able to do with the tires still on the truck.
Dont put the chocks directly against the wheel you are working on when you start, but do put more chocks on the otherside. Put the chocks on the side you a working on very close, but not against. This will allow you to be able to wiggle the wheel ever so slightly in either direction to get it to line up Lower the truck onto the block just enough that it begins to apply pressure, then when you wiggle the wheel you should hear the peg pop in
Iv got to uninstall 1 inch blocks in my f150. In a garage with no fancy jacks. Trying ti figure out how to do this. Probably easy but kind of baffling me how to pull this off Hopefully this video helps !
Si es el mismo proceso yo tengo una Tacoma 2008 ayer mire este video y hoy mismo le puse esos bloques de elevación a mi troca , hice lo mismo que el fue tan fácil no necesité quitar las llantas. Gracias al amigo por este video
Anybody know if this method can be used to install a kit like this on an 2001 Tacoma crewcab, I'm just trying to save my son a little money on his project truck !!!
