    Good excuse to get new tools to make wrenching easier. Stool with drawers from Costco. Impact wrench and sockets from Home Depot. Finally getting to install the suspension!

    Have fun and spray those top bolts down real good. Before trying to loosen. You may thank me later. Lol

    It was more fun being done than anything else! Thanks for the heads up though. Sprayed one side only to see the difference. Both sides loosened easily. Only 36k on the clock so figured it shouldn't be too seized. All the big bolts loosened with the impact. Seems those would have been a pain to loosen by hand.20190706_190114.jpg 20190706_190134.jpg

    Rears were easy except no way to torque the top bolt without a torque wrench that goes on a open end wrench. Same for the inside top bolts on the front.

    Wasn't expecting to but had to remove the TRD pro skid plate to loosen the lower arm. Removal of the fronts are easy but bringing up the knuckles to bolt them back up was a super pain in the ass along with mounting the sway bar to the arm. One of the cam bolts on the arm will not align back to the marks I made but I'm taking it on for an alignment anyway. Just got new tires and old ones weren't worn evenly.

    I've bought a couple of the rigid tools and really like them. Make sure you register for the lifetime warranty on everything including the batteries. Went through the whole job with the battery on full. Lots of power.
