    I’m running ToyTec BOSS 3/1.5” level/lift. Left the stock UCA’s on on install but now have some ICON’s ready to go. Anyway, I have searched and searched and haven’t found the procedure for removing that approximately 1 foot long bolt for the UCA....just trying to confirm that all you need to do is remove the battery on the driver’s side and nothing special on the passenger side to slide that bolt out. Anyone with experience I would appreciate some advice. Thanks

    I never remove the battery. Just need to unclip/move some hoses and wires around, they will be obvious. Torque the driver side from the bolt head instead of nut(fuel lines make it difficult), will seem backwards but the bolt is hard enough flex is not an issue. It’s not bad at all.

    Sounds good...my tech buddy is going to do it so I’m just providing research support. :)
