Hey everyone. I’m gearing up to instal an icon stage 6 suspension on my 2019 trd off road. If anyone has and experience installing this kit and had tips as well as torque specs I would greatly appreciate it.

@socal.trousas, I did the Stage 3, and it wasn't too bad. The UCA bolt was a bitch. Had to do some major pinch weld bending to get that long ass bolt through into the engine compartment.

I heard a lot of people just cut that stubborn thing. Though, I wouldn't want to.. But I understand why they do it. Though it's hard to say whats better, bending the pinch or cutting the bolt. haha.
 
I just did mine about six months ago. Cut the bolt make sure you buy two new ones and put them through the other way. It's a Toyota approved modification. Makes the job a lot easier.
 
Here is the owners manual. There is a link somewhere on this forum that I downloaded it from, but can't seem to find it again. This is what actually brought me to T3G in the first place.

I would definitly set aside a LONG day, or at least 2 to do the install.. I did my rears, and 1 front in a day... day 2 I finnished the drivers side, and did the ECGS bushing install. of course doing this in my dirt driveway on jackstands... worth it to know how to fix or get to anything on your truck. definitly take it to an alignment shop as soon as you can. and make sure to look at instructions as camber with an UCA change can be completely different.. JBAoffroad UCA's high castor version (all newer JBA UCA"s are High castor version now) are for 3* castor angle.. make sure to tell this to your alignment shop.

Reference: Replacing Front and Rear Suspension

I've never done a suspension on a truck. I've worked on cars and bikes. I had a shop do the 5100's the first time. Weight and soft springs lead to annoying rubbing. Thought I'd give it a try. My garage is too small. Parents are out of country for 2 weeks. Figured I'd take advantage of their...
