Question about installing Timbrens
I'm gonna be installing Timbrens on the rear of my Tundra in a few days. It looks like how the axle and springs are situated(with the leaf springs on top of the axle) that you can just remove the u-bo...

UPDATE:
Just got my Timbrens installed and it's a simple job. Didn't jack the truck up at all and had plenty of room. Installing each Timbren took about 5 minutes per side as I removed the u-bolt nuts with my Milwaukee 18v impact. The most time consuming part is re-torquing the nuts with a torque wrench to 98 ft lbs. I took my time and torqued them evenly. Taking my time as I did, the project took about 30 minutes.
I took it out for a test drive and drove fast over some big dips. You can feel the frame firmly contact the Timbrens but I kinda like that as I know they're doing their job. Feels firm, but not harsh. So far, I'm satisfied but haven't towed with them yet.
Thanks for all that offered advice.
