41. Locate (1) BH01 breather hose and (1) BH02 breather
hose from hardware bag 56070NB1. Working on the driver
side, remove the (2) stock breather hoses from the stock
location. On the large of the two stock breather hoses we
need to remove the stock clamps. Install the stock clamps
to the larger of the two new breather hoses. Now install the
new breather hoses into the stock location.
42. Move back to the (2) new 7/8” x 5 1/2” bolts holding the
front cross member into the new location and add some
thread locker or loctite and torque both new bolts to 140 ft.
lbs.
43. Move back to the (2) new 18 mm x 165 mm bolts and
hardware holding the rear cross member into the new loca-
tion and add some thread locker or loctite and torque both
new bolts to 125 ft. lbs.
44. Working on the driver side, remove the (2) stock bump
stops from the stock location and save the stock bump
stops. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
45. Locate (4) new bump stop relocation brackets and the
stock bump stops. Add some thread locker and loctite to
the threaded part of the stock bump stops and install them
into the new bump stop relocation bracket. Add some
thread locker or loctite to the threaded part of the new
bump stop relocation brackets and install into the stock
location on the driver and passenger side. Special note:
We want to make sure that we get the new bump stop
relocation bracket tight to the stock location but we
also want to make sure that we do not over tighten
them and break off the threads of the new bump stop
relocation brackets.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends a wall
mounted strut compressor be used when performing
the steps that talk about installing the pre load spacer
into the strut. If you do not have a wall mounted strut
compressor, please have these steps performed by
your local Toyota Dealership.
46. Working on the driver side strut, measure the exposed
threads sticking out of the middle bolt on the stock strut.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side strut.
Driver side measurement:_____________________
Passenger side measurement:_________________
47. Working on the driver side strut, lay the strut on a work
bench with the out arrow on the upper strut bearing plate
facing the sky. Then scribe a reference mark on the bottom
eyelet of the stock strut. This will allow you to install the
upper strut plate in the stock location once the strut is put
back together with the strut pre load spacers. Repeat pro-
cedure on the passenger side strut.
48. Using a wall mounted strut compressor, carefully com-
press the driver side stock strut until the upper stock strut
bearing plate can be removed. Remove the stock nut and
hardware from the top of the stock strut assembly and save
the stock hardware. Set the stock upper strut bearing plate
and isolator aside.
49. Locate (1) new upper strut pre load spacer. Also, locate
the stock hardware, stock upper strut bearing plate and iso-
lator. Install the new upper strut pre load spacer to the stock
bearing plate then install the stock isolator to the new pre
load spacer. Now install into the stock strut using the stock
hardware. Refer back to the measurements that were
made in step # 47 and tighten the nut until the measure-
ment is the same as the measurement from step # 47.
Special note: Make sure that the stock upper strut
