Hey Kids,

I am installing my TF 3" lift this Sunday with a friend who is way more mechanically than me.

I want to make sure I have everything I need

Socket wrenches,
wrenches,
Beer,
Torque wrench
Jack Stands
Jack,
Hammer

Anything else I need?

Where can I find the Torque settings I need?

Any advice from those who have done it? Problems to look out for?

Pry bar or two to wedge in springs and get them in the right place if needed. Also good for pushing up the front bump stops. Floor jack, and also the stock scissor jack can be useful for spreading the front axle a little further if you just need an extra 1/2". I would go to Vatozone and get spring compressors. They rent them... actually you buy a used set from them for about $50 and then return them when you are done. It makes the job much easier and less frustrating... and its free really, so why not? Grease gun to kit all the zirks while you are under there. Hmm, a block of wood like a part of a 2x6 might be handy to put between the floor jack and axle once you have it sky high and on jack stands. Beer! Yep, thats all I can think of right now. Good luck...

Thanks guys,

Anyone else?

Where can I find the torque #'s for the bolts so I make sure to tighten everything the right amount?

They're not with the instructions for the lift? Mine were with my black diamond kit. If not I can post them if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Right now need sleep, my 5 month old has been on a sleep strike...
