Better than a lift or stronger springs.

After installation I can say that the end result is very good. I can load (camp) and level my truck, which is important not only for overall stability on the road, but also for keeping the headlight cone out of the eyes of oncoming traffic. No leak has occurred so far and it stayed right where I wanted it. Installation (I did my own) was easy, but not easy. Plan some time under the truck. I find the instructions a bit sparse and poorly illustrated, but you can do with a test build before you…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are downsides

I usually don't write a review immediately after I receive an item, in this case I've installed it. All parts look good and are easy to assemble. I removed the rubber bumpers under the U-bolts instead of cutting them as suggested in the instructions. Having pneumatic tools makes this installation much easier than just using hand tools since the 3/8 nuts (16 of them) are locking type. My Tacoma comes with a factory tow kit and I was able to attach both valve stems to the plate where the trailer…

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Not bad

Carriage bolt upgrade required

The whole kit is perfect and fits 2018 Tacoma. Installation is very easy, a little tight in places, but not overly difficult. I gave 4 stars because it's great up to the point where you have to tighten the carriage bolts, it doesn't work here. First, the carriage bolts are too soft. When tightening bolts that are almost impossible to tighten because the nuts are self-locking or look like it. As if they have the wrong thread pitch, they twist so much. The heat generated when turning the nuts…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Got it! in shocks, struts and suspension

You should buy these if you have Tacoma springs in stock. No more dragging your butt to the floor with baby weights. I just towed 6,000 pounds of wood like it wasn't there. Make sure removing the replacement part when installing makes life a lot easier. Also, don't install one of the bolts against the leaf springs like I did. As my suspension moved, I heard the clicking sound of the spring touching the threads of the bolts. No big deal just had to come loose and slide off. I had a slow leak, 5…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Tedious and time consuming installation

Fits Tacoma 2017. Only got three stars so far. For this kit, you'll need Mechanix gloves, a full case of your favorite adult beverages, and a cool, chilled vibe to get started. The good thing is that all the parts were there, well packaged and looked high quality. The downside is the instructions are terrible and this "one to two hour" job took more like three to four hours and I haven't even hooked up the air lines yet. This isn't a technical job, it's a tedious, time-consuming one, and each…

Pros
  • Leveling vehicle front to back and side to side
Cons
  • Large and bulky

It helps the rear suspension but is not easy to install

The reason I gave it four stars overall is that it wasn't easy to install The time amounts about 2 hours. not at all. My setup was for a 2013 Tacoma 4x4. In the beginning it took me over 30 minutes to cut each of the rear suspension bumpers. Mounting the brackets is easy, but mounting them over the rear axle is not. Apparently not all the bolts matched the nuts included in the kit. They are quite difficult to twist and at some point they felt that the thread was damaged. I think it would…

Pros
  • Stabilizes the car when loaded and maximizes the vehicle's cargo capacity
Cons
  • Long delivery time
