This is the best video I’ve seen on this. Everyone else makes it feel complicated. You took my son and I through step by step and made it look simple. We had fun working on the truck together.
Thank you
Pro tip don't order a cheaper kit on Amazon or ebay, ordered mine and it doesn't quite fit so it took 4 hours and some modification on top of swaybar removal to get one side done. Looks good once it's all on but man was it a pain. But this video is defiently great and shows everything you need to do to get the job done!
Doing this exact thing to my '15 Taco! So cool to see it done before crawling under there!!! Thanks for posting!!
This is the best video I’ve seen on this. Everyone else makes it feel complicated. You just took us through one by one and made it look simple. Thanks.
Just put this kit on today and had done research before. By far this is the best video on how to do it. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome!
Just want to tell you thank you. You was the only person to show how to install it on a 2wd. I started to return my parts back. Today I installed it on my 2012 tocoma xsp-x model Once again thank you
Your welcome!
Hey just wanted to say thanks for the video! We followed it today taking off a low range spacer lift to back to stock on my 2015 Taco. "Reverse of install" was a little easier taking OFF the spacer pucks.
Many thanks, Dude. I'm adding the same to my '09 Taco. Going to use this video to help. Nice job.
Great video. Super easy for the rears. Thank you very much.
Amazing Video. Thanks for the step by step. I am definitely going to try this on my taco..please don't stop making videos
Thank you so much for the video! Awesome guidance on how to do this job step by step!
Great video, just did mine watching you! Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
I was a little confused at how this was done but you really explained it well. Great job! Thx from Montreal...
Thank you
Putting a KSP leveling kit on my taco today. 3” up front, 2” in rear. You made me feel more confident doin it. If only I had a lift 😭
I got mine too but the front is 2inch and I order 3 or idk of it has to be like that
How is the KSP kit holding up? I was looking at their upper control arms but was worried their price would affect their durability too much.
Great detailed video dude can't wait to do my 05 taco now
EXCELLENT VIDEO SIR. TO THE POINT WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRA BULLSHIT. I LOVE IT!
Thank you im happy you liked it, please be sure to subscribe, much appreciated!
This is one of the best DIY videos I've ever seen. I did front spacers on my 2020 4WD Tacoma this AM and it went just as you described.
One note: If you go with a 2" front lift like I did the spacers blocks are about 1" thick (26.0mm actual) but the studs on the strut are 29.0mm long. The spacer won't seat against the bottom of the strut tower unless you take about 1/8" (4.0mm actual) off the studs.
What brand did you go with for the 2"
The customer supplied the aftermarket kit, i don't recall what brand it was
@@FixItPhillip It's Dynofit brand it says so on the box at the beginning of the video. I bought a 2" kit from them off Amazon last night for $46. Thx
Ok great lol I'm happy you found it brotha. I've had so many people bring their own kits I couldn't remember which 1 it was
@@FixItPhillip you had any come back with ball joints broken or need replacing?? The angle and stress these blocks put on the upper ball joint causes some to snap
You are great! Thank you Philip!
Thanks dude you made it so simple and easy to understand.
Thank you bro
Good explanation great job
Your the MAN !!!!
Thanks a lot very informative 👍
Great video! Thanks!
Great video G!
Great video!!
Awesome vid only wish you did a before and after side by photo comparison. 👍
Well done!
I have been back and fore your video hundreds of time when doing it, thanks for the detailed instruction and my truck is beautifully done. One thing I encounter, the rear brake lines seems tensioned with the lift, I had to bend the brake line bracket bolted onto the spring lift, any comments? Thanks
Great video
Thanks for posting this... Now I know I'm not doing this mod on my own!
Why
@@ctbcdjbcgbcgvchcfv7314 Just need supervision, and a buddy with good tools. Maybe I will do myself after all.
Hi Philip, first of all thanks for posting this video. I know it helps a lot of Taco owners who wants to do level/lift. Im thinking of installing just the 2” level kit for my 13 taco. My question is , with the 2” level kit for the front, do you think it will clear a 285 75 16 tire with the 16” OEM TRD OFF wheels i have right now.I asked a popular shop/garage in our area and the guy said that using oem wheels it will rub the UCA. Just want some opinion from knowledgeable person like you. Hope you can read this and share some of your ideas. Thanks for your time Philip !
You wouldn't happen to have a video like this for a 2016 ram 1500 RWD would you ? Great video BTW. Just finished doing the front end for my mom's tacoma. Doing the rear in a bit. Thinking of doing the same to my ram
So sick I like it
Rad video!
Thank YOU
Damn this is a good video.
Thank you
By far the best video I have seen on how to do this. Clear and easy to follow. Nice job. Will be doing mine as soon as it gets a little cooler. Thanks. Can you tell me the brand of the rear and front kit?
Thank you bro. Its just an aftermarket brand we used to get from a tire/wheel place. Sorry I don't recall the exact brand. Please be sure to subscribe, much appreciated!
@@FixItPhillip I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD off road. I'm planning on installing 33" tires. I don't go off roading. Do I need the 3" front and 2" rear? or can I just do the 2" front.
I would do 3 in front and 2 in rear
@@FixItPhillip hi and for 3” front and 2” rear do I need diff drop.?
Hi Phillip, I bought a 2006 Taco 4D 2WD PreRunner Sport and it was lifted 2"-3" on all wheels. The truck drives very rough, stiff and bumpy. The previous owner said this condition is normal since the truck was lifted. I don't see any spacers on the front shock absorbers, and there is 2-3" spacer blocks on the rear differential. The front and rear shock absorbers appear to be the stock bleistein shock absorbers. What do you think is causing the stiff suspension? If I want to undo the lift, aside from removing the rear block spacers, how do I restore the flexibility of the front shocks? Thank you very much. Your video is very comprehensive and easy to follow. Keep posting videos.
Great video, getting ready to do this on my 2011 T4R. Also replacing struts/shocks and sway bar links. Was wondering if this would effect any shock, brake hoses or ABS wire lengths. Between the video and your Q&A you answered all my questions. Thanks!

Excellent video! Any idea what size tires those were?
Sir have you ever installed body lifts kits on a tacoma? if so how difficult are they to install on newer generation tacomas?
yo that ws tight
I have the same thing on my Tacoma TRD but I have a shaking in the starting wheel around 40 to 60 it’s been aligned was told to drive it a week come back to recheck balance. They lowers air from 35 to 30 per tire but I don’t think it right. Grapplers G2 At 285/70/16 any suggestions? To check thanks
Excellet.
Mantap....👍👍🙏
I’m running 5100s on the 3 inch section do you think running the spacers would put to much stress on both control arms?
Que bonita quedo
This isn't a 4X4 but would recommend a differential spacer kit for 4x4 models.
So it lifted the truck up 2” ? How thick were the actual spacers for the rear ? I bought a tacoma and it has 2” thick spacers in the back . How much lift is that ? The front i know is not a 1-1 ratio but im not sure of the back
Are the spacers supposed to come the size of the lift u want or r they a little smaller? I ordered 2.5" but their measurement is 1"1/4?
Great job. And same work for the 1st gen?
Hola buenas tardes tengo una toyota tacoma 2005 2wd poniendo un kit parecido no afecta en nada los demas componentes de la suspencion gracias
hi there, what's is the best leveling kit's for 2019 sr5? thanks
Could i replace my stock strut with a 6 inch lifted strut and add the 3 inch leveling block on top? Definitely putting in some extended UCA’s with it.
I think that should work fine
hey man i installed the same 2 inches in front but my wheels are at an angle! what do you think is the problem?
no nut has a specification of the pounds of pressure??
Do you have to swap the struts?
The stock shocks in the back can handle the height. Asking bc I have a 2 in front and 1 in block in the back and it alrdy feels like a stiffer ride. Just wondering if I got this route I’d have to buy longer shocks.
I haven't had a issue with the rear shocks being too short with a 2 inch block, you can always lower the vehicle on the ground before you reconnect the shock to see how far the shock runs past from the mounting bracket on the bottom. That should give you an idea how far the shock can travel. Good luck! Plz be sure to subscribe, much appreciated!
FixItPhillip how about the diff drop. Would you have to drop it in the front with small washer spacers. I just see so many leveling kits and some have them some don’t.
The ones I've done for toyota never came with the differential drop washers and longer bolts, its mostly if your front axles are at too much of an angle after the lift is installed, I've the axles are sitting at too much of an angle the CV joints may bind, I've only heard of people encountering that on the earlier Tacomas around 2005 to 2007ish range, never hurts to order a kit with the washers and bolts for the drop just in case you have binding issues, but I've never personally had that issue with a 2 or 3 inch lift.
Does this affect the TSS radar?
Do you have to add spacer on carrier bearing to avoid vibrations and what kind of differential gear upgrade?
3” or less no carrier bearing or diff drop necessary. No diff gear upgrade either until you go bigger than 3
Does this kit fit a 2010 Tacoma V4 ?
we not just buy new and longer coil overs and shocks?
What Brand was your lift kit you installed?
Do you need a alligment after this job. Reason I ask. I just finished getting a alligment and I plan on doing the same job at home
I would get it done afterwards just to make sure its good. If you do it this way it shouldn't throw it off much
I'm doing 3" inch shocks and springs in the front, and 2" in the back with new shocks
Is this safe I want to do it to my truck. It's a 2014 prerunner 2wd.
How much does it cost to get put on at a shop?
Hey i can see that you know what you are doing👍
Do you do this kind of job to customers or is your personal truck?
This was a customers truck
@@FixItPhillip thanks, by any chance are you around Orange County California? i want the exact same thing on my 19 tacoma just 2/1" .. i don't want to go higher than this with spacers + i don't want to go with bigger tires than 32" and 2" of lift is perfect for 32" tires.
@@PabloRodriguez-rj9yk I'm in a different state unfortunately. Good luck brotha!
In my opinion, only if you have a problem with the CV axles leaving too far down at a angle causing binding in the CV joint. From what I've experienced doesn't happen very often with a 2 or 3 inch lift
How do you compensate the space of absorption of the shock you take away with the spacer?
Most toyota rear shock styles will have enough travel still. If yours doesn't then yes you will need longer shocks
how much would you charge for this job? I have a 2nd gen tacoma and college student want to know how much (ballpark) I would need to save up to hire you or someone similar
with these spacers, can I lift the front 2" with stock shocks?
Yes
Philly do mine bro I live in iowaaaaa
I put a lift kit on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma I hear a rubbing noise when I go under 10 miles and only do it when I slow down ??? sounds like it's coming from the front and it wasn't like that before!!
Check the backing plate behind the brake rotor and see if its touching the rotor, maybe it got bent when you were working on it
Thank you so much I I tried to do that !!
Make sure you look good. Take the tires off if you have to see the backing plate good.
I will thank you so much fixltphillip !!
Similar to Chevy Colorado right 04 to 2012
I put my spacers on but I have to rotate my strut 180 from the way they came off for the holes to line up.. is that OK,?
Yes
@@FixItPhillip awesome thanks for reply got it done thanks to you..well the front anyways 🤣 gotta finish the rear tomorrow..hello from North Carolina
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 2 WD 5 lugs I can use the same kit you use?
5 lugs have a different kit, I believe it's the same concept just a little different design than the 6 plug, they have the kit on Amazon I believe for 5 lug
Thanks for the question, please be sure to subscribe, much appreciated!
My truck is now 1in higher in the front than the back after installing? Any idea why?
Did you drive it and give it some time to rest
Torquing anything?
So after doing all the install did the truck need to get an alignement?
I would recommend it so you get the most life out of your tires
@@FixItPhillip can it affected badly? like drivability if i drive it for a week like that?
If you do it how I show on the video and don't mess with the lower control arm adjustments then it won't be off much at all if any
are you sure this applies to 2wd tacoma my leaf springs sits bottom of differential
Do you have 6 lug wheels?
What’s up with people talking about the differential drop? Is that necessary?
Thats some spacers and longer bolts you use to lower the front differential on a 4x4 truck. Its used after you do a lift, if your front cv axles are at too much at an angle and binding. So it lowers the front differential so the angle of the front cv axles are more straight. In my experience I havent had anycv axle binding with height of life
Did you have to extend the rear shocks?
This 1 no. But some toyota shocks will be too short. Best Is to check the full extended length of your shocks and make sure its not going to max out with the lift block
When I removed the U bolts and shocks and began to lower the axle the leaf pack moved with it as if it was seized or something any ideas on what I should do? It’s a 2019 Tacoma Trd Sport 2wd and also do you think I need to upgrade to longer shocks with a 2” block?
The only thing holding the leaf springs to the rear did are the ubolts, there is a little center nipple that keeps the rear diff and the leaf spring centered, maybe its a little stuck there, should be able to separate the leaf springs and the diff by lowering the diff enough, if it's still stuck you can try prying in between a little. Good luck, my email is fixitphillip88@gmail.com if you have any questions, please be sure to subscribe! Much appreciated
Also I haven't had an issue yet with stock shocks being too short with a 2 inch block.
can you post a link of that same lift kit ?

Does it matter if u do the front or the back first?
No
How much should a shop charge to do an install like this ?
About 3 to 4 hrs times what their labor rate is
Hi Phillip, I have the same lift but Tacoma has a humming noise coming from the back, did multiple alignment and tire balance but it’s still there. Alignment say that the rear are 0.30 toe and -0.12 on the other side. Are my axle causing this issue? Thanks
Have your rear diff and axle bearings checked
Is there wheel alignment required?
If you do it the this way i do it its not interfering with alignment adjustments.
If you were to loosten the lower control arm camber bolts or a tie rod adjustment nut then youll throw it off and need one for sure.
Its still always better to be on the safe side to get an alignment done so your tires last as long as possible, but ive never had the alignment thrown off much (if any) by doing this way on the video.

Alright thanks I will start on my 18 taco tomorrow with 3inch front 2 inch rear. Hope it goes well.
Nice!

Is that shop located in Nawiliwili?
Yes
So did it only about 20 minutes to install or does it take longer for others?
Front and rear usually takes me about 1.5hrs to 2 hrs

Where did bought the kit...or where can you get it.
The customer supplied the kit. I'm not sure where he got it from, but it was a aftermarket one. I think he said it was about $160
@@FixItPhillip thanks by the way I like you video
Thank you brotha
Bro, use a torque wrench!
Won't Using a leveling kit as a lift kit for the front and rear make the ride of the overall suspension shitty?🤔
The rear blocks just sits in between the rear dif and leaf spring. Not adding stiffer rear leaf springs so it doesnt affect suspension. I wouldnt go more than 2 to 3 inches in the front if you still have stock front spindles. Anything more than that can affect suspension/stiffness/ride quality. So 2 - 3 inch spacers in front is ok and i havent experienced ride problems or customer complaints. Spacers sit on the outside of strut and spring so not much if any ride difference. Also if you put even higher blocks in the rear then you may need longer shocka as well. Thanks for asking, hope that answers your question.
The local toyota dealership has been bringing their newer tacomas to do 2 to 3 inch spacer installs also. Then they put fancy bigger wheels and tires on, then sell the trucks. Probably for more money im sure lol.
Are there similar set ups like this for a 2004 Tacoma??🔥

False advertising video. None of the ball joint came out that easy on my Tacoma with only 74k miles 😅

I would have an extra person there to give you a hand. Good luck with your truck and be careful
