Ease of leveling kit install: 3500
How easy is it to install the 2" leveling spacers on the 2500/3500 front end. I did this on my 00 Tacoma, but the IFS was a pain with hand tools and I ended up taking it to a shop. I only have a few days to install the kit and I don't have the money to pay right now. can it be done in a garage with simple hand tools?
Thanks,

from what I have seen it can be done relatevaly easy. since the 2/3500's have a solid front end it is just a matter of unbolting the shock/coil tower, putting in the spacer, re-bolting the shock/coil tower and there you go. if you got one that has the sway bar spacers and a few other goodies, the shock/coil tower is still the hardest part.
the only thing I would worry about is checking the alignment afterward just to ensure everything is still straight.

Thanks Drew,
I had trouble using the spring compressors I bought for the Toyota and couldn't get them compressed enough to reinstall (I barely got the stock parts together to drive it to a shop). I only have a few days to do the install before a 1000 mile road trip.
