Help installing Toytec coilover lift and OEM front shocks - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am purchasing the coil lift with AAL and the OEM front shocks and wondering if anyone has done this install and possibly wrote a thread about it. I am pretty mechanical however I have never messed with springs and want to make sure I do it write. I dont think I need to pay someone to install this lift. Looks pretty straight foward unless someone out there has better advice or a reason to take it to a shop

I think the major thing you are going to need is a spring compressor, but not really sure. I have a different lift. BTW, you have a sick truck. How did you paint the hood scoop?

Also check the Toytec website they have pictures!

I had to do some work ont he hood due to an A Hole with a baseball. While the hood was off, I took the scoop out and sanded and painted it flat as a test run. Getting good reviews on it so I am going to clear it with a clear that dries flat to protect it and viola. I used the same Krylon paint that I used for the BHLM. Thanks

How do you get the scoop out?

Lift up your hood and unscrew the 5 screws.

After removing the five nuts there is a phillips head screw that has to be removed in the front middle. Then it should come right out. When re installing the scoop, screw in the clip that is held by the phillips screw. it acts like a clip and gently push the scoop down and secure with reamining five nuts
