This is how all DIY videos should be...zero BS.

crazy, you're the only one who didn't disconnect the sway bar or UCA. definitely using this vid when i swap my 6112s in.

Most excellent! I just did my '23 SR5 after watching this video. In the past I've done the spring compressing method, and your method was by far way easier. I'm always skeptical of videos being overly edited and leaving me scratching my head. BUT, this video was straight forward and no BS. I usually rank my projects by how many beers have to be consumed, but I didn't even need one until it was time to clean up. No tools were thrown, no f-bomb melt downs, no cut knuckles, and my wife even brought me a samich! BTW, I went with the 4th ring, 1.5 lift, and the truck is nearly dead nuts level. CHEERS!!!

I've watched a bunch of videos about Tacoma front suspension videos - and this was BY FAR the BEST - to the point, clear, concise. Thanks a ton!!

[renenavarro]

Best video by far. Super clear and thanks for the torque specs

Team oil drop I just let everyone on tacoma world to check out your channel. Love the way you explain work on 3rd gen tacoma's. Keep up the great work.

[Andrew-mypz]

You explained everything in less than 5 minutes! I will be following this when I do my install. Thanks

I appreciate your video a lot. It helped me to do this on my 16 Tacoma today.

I want to save someone else some heartache by mentioning something that I did not figure out until I got my truck back together and my alignment done.

I noticed my top bushings were not compressed as much as they should and just played it off as maybe they were using different bushing material that was stronger. I had the top nuts completely tight with lots of thread showing.
Here was my issue. I didn’t realize when I dropped my old shocks that the bottom top hat bushings had came out with them🤦🏻‍♂️. That’s what the bottom washer is for on the new shocks, the old lower top hat bushing sits in that washer.
Thankfully I couldn’t let go why my truck drove fine and was quiet but was not satisfied with why those top bushings wouldn’t compress.
I’ll be hopefully disassembling this week to put the lower top hat bushings back in to prevent damage to the shock studs.
I’m not sure why Bilstein would not include these anyway as you are already replacing the top bushing. But lessons learned 😂.

These videos are remarkably well done. I'm gonna try to replace the serpentine belt on my 2016 Taco thanks to your other video. Subscribed! Good luck with the channel!

[chelly]

You just answered a ton of questions I had. Definitely subbing now! Thanks for the vid all meat no fluff

Installing this today! I love that it’s short and straight to the point and really appreciate the torque specs, going to be watching this video and doing it all step by step hahaha

Watched this a few times. I just got my Bilsteins and Ebach 1" rear blocks. I was going to take it to a shop because of watching other videos. It looks like it will be no problem. The hard part is going to be finding an reputable allignment shop. Thank you.

[jogu]

Excellent video! Tremendously appreciate you making this available.

[WaitingForTheSignal]

Cannot thank you enough for showing this! Awesome! Just plain Awesome!

[VVMVVMVVM]

Best video I’ve seen covering this, thanks!!

[jeff_doyle]

Thanks so much for putting this video together, just installed the TRD lift kit and this was super helpful for the front. I’ve never done a lift before and it took about 2.5 hours for the front. The 2nd side only took 40 minutes.

[kmvd]

You are a lifesaver, just installed the same setup on my tacoma. 😊

[derekp]

Passenger side was easy, driver side just dont wanna go in straight lol, almost done! Just gotta get over to get the allignment done afterwards. Old ones were definitely due for replacement, bushings almost completely shot and all the rubber breaking down.

[vincentc]

Great video and very informative. I’m looking to do this to my truck along with the rear.
