Top hats were purchased at lowrangeoffroad.com

I ordered my 6112s pre-built and have no regrets. It was about $100 more, but I think my body and sanity are more intact because of it. No shame!
If I had to do it again, I would have them preassembled too! No shame whatsoever! Work smarter, not harder…like me..!
I have. Tacoma but have same shocks to replace and was watching to see the parts for the stem top hat
I had a similar experience installing an add a-leaf in the rear. The first side was kicking my butt, I couldn't get the leaf pack alignment pin to line up. After figuring out how to do it, I completed the other side in about an hour.
Hahaha it’s just the way it is!
I added rear shackles on my Tundra to complete the lift. I was going to record it but I had to literally burn out my rear bushings and it took forever!
Nice truck!
Thank you!
Nice work
Pelon Pelon Thanks!
How much lift does it add on the top setting
How does the vehicle perform at the top setting?
Planning on putting some 5100s in front, second perch, with Eibach 2" lift coils, for an overall lift of 3" in front, and I am wondering if you installed brake line extensions for your lift.
I did not extend my brake lines. Good luck with your install!
Old video. Thanks for sharing. But did you try the no spring compressor method by using the truck's weight? Dont it a few times on a Tacoma and 4runner. It's a great alternative to the DIY'er that doesn't have a proper spring compressor tool.
Old video? Did you watch my videos? I even explained that I tried to compress it with the truck’s weight...
@@BargainPaper might have missed it. was skipping around.
Those two washers you threw away are bump stop spacers
Thank you! It seems no one knew what they were!
I bought wheeler off-road bump stops couldn't be happier now I'm just thinking these 6112 or 🦊 2.0 question did you remove the sway bar and why?
@@MrEfoozz Good to know. I may have to look into getting something similar!
What’s the torque setting on the lower control arm bolts at the cams? And also what’s the torque setting for the top hat bolts of the strut?
I would recommend doing some searching on your own rather than just trusting what I found. BUT, I found some numbers off of Low Range Offroad's website. Lower control arm/cam bolts: 207 ft/lbs. Top coilover nuts: 47 ft/lbs.
Did you have to re-allign your suspension?? THanks for the great video!
Stormy Yes. After putting new UCAs in AND since I loosened the LCAs alignment cam bolt for assembly, you will be out of alignment.
!
Great Video! Why did you swap out the top hats, durability?
Hunter Atwood Two reasons. 1- In order to reuse my old top hats, I’d have to compress and disassemble my old coil overs to get them. And 2- For $60, I figured I might as well just throw new ones on there since I was putting on all new components anyway.
Do you feel they are too stiff? I had a ram with the 5100s @2.1 and they rode stiff as hell, just bought a 19' tundra trd off road and I dont want to ruin the plush ride lol
ncurc 97 To be honest, it is a stiffer ride but I can’t compare it directly to stock as I’m pretty sure my old suspension was beyond worn.
Now that some time has passed. How are those freedom offroad UCAs?
I have zero issues and could not be happier! I had some steering wheel shimmy that persisted through tire and wheel changes and was finally fixed after this suspension install. Im assuming it was because of my worn out upper ball joints. I would highly recommend these if you aren't interested in trying to keep up with all the cool kids and their Icon/JBA/SPC UCAs.
How’s the ride compared to the stock? I’m running 5100 now but want to upgrade
Jorge Rodriguez They are fantastic compared to stock BUT my stock suspension was spent. I have since replaced the fears with 5160s and Coachbuilder +3 shackles. Significantly better than my tired, old TRD suspension.
Do these lower or increase payload? I have a 2010 trd off road, 189k miles. I wanna get new suspension but without sacrificing payload
Marco Femto These coilovers are way beefier than stock. I don’t have the numbers off hand, but it’d be pretty hard to believe that payload would be reduced.
What was the torque set at on the top nut for the shock?
Unfortunately it's been almost 3 years since I installed these and I just do not remember. Sorry!
What tire size and wheel offset are you running on? No rubbing or chopping needed?
The wheels are 17x8.5 with a 0 offset. The tires are 315/70R/17 and I did have rubbing in the front. I ended up doing a body mount chop and reshaped the inner fender liner/backside of the front bumper.
BargainPaper thanks! Subbed, hoping you’ll upload more gen2 Tundra mods!
Thanks for the follow! The next video Im editing now isnt exactly my most favorite... Stay tuned!
How do like them now?
Josh Gonzalez They’re great! My stock suspension was way overdue to be replaced anyway. Along with that, I didn’t realize how worn out my upper ball joints were!
Are your rotors on the right way?
I have since done my brakes and you are correct, my slotted rotors were in fact oriented backwards! Great catch!
Do I have to replace the upper control arm when installing the 6112?
You don’t have to unless you’re trying to get max lift out of them. In that case from what I understand, it’s recommended to in order to get your alignment back with normal ranges.
@@BargainPaper which ones did you go with? Upper control arm?
@@jamesfuentes5688 I went with a basic Freedom Off Road UCA. I don’t really do any serious off-roading and just wanted something that would accommodate the lift I was hoping for. I recorded that install too if you want to check my other videos.
Front brake rotors installed backward.
Correct 👍🏼
No Power tools dude
Heh?
