Job well done, lol "prayer and petition" for that bottom bolt was hilarious. I've actually got this to do on my '05 toyota tundra - 3 mechanics have refused to do the work based on the level feature of the 5100 for safety (they don't think it's gonna hold all the weight up front, coilover seat would buckle). I am going to have to do some of my own prayer and petition when the time comes to replace front struts, Bilstein approves the use of them of the vehicle. Will be reviewing your video again for some advice. Thanks for the upload!

What's your opinion on spacers on these? I got some 3" from Supreme Suspension for my 2005 model.
@p.j.vallier91975 жыл бұрын
I would guess you would get about 3" of lift, if you put it 3" spacers....... All jokes aside, while you are getting the spacers installed, you might as well install new shocks while you are in there, the proper way is to install a spacer lift is to also use shocks that are the same spec lift height of the spacers you are installing. Technically, you can use stock sized shocks (they tend to be cheaper than lift shocks) but thats not recommended for vehicles that will ever go off roading. ***If you use stock sized shocks with any suspension lift, the shock will be what bottoms out first when the wheel goes all the way up into the wheel wells, the suspension should bottom out at the bump stop, which can handle the weight of the vehicle, even at strong impact. Almost all shocks are not designed to bottom out and hold the weight of the vehicle, if the vehicle comes down hard, the impact will most likely blow the shock completely out if the shock collapses as far as it can, because the rest of the suspension still has room to travel. It will also damage the shock if the wheel travels all the way down under high force/impact. the control arms, sway bar, sway bar links, along with the shock all work together to hold the wheel assembly in place when the body lifts up. By having a shock that isn't sized to the lift, the shock maxxes its length out and is basically trying to pull the shock apart way before the other components start to restrict how far down the wheel assembly goes away from the vehicle. If the vehicle will only be driven on roads, and is basically for looks, then a spacer lift with stock sized shocks will work fine, but its not recommended .
