Help with top plate extended studs
I'm finally getting around to installing my OME 90004s and tundra coils to replace my 2" cornfed spacers and stock shocks.
Any tricks to getting the extended studs into the top plate? Or do I just need a bigger hammer?

For the top out spacer. I've got the old bamachem style ones. The cornfeds use their own bolts since they act like a top plate. I've long since lost the nuts for the original toyota top plate studs, but I have the Revtek extended studs, nuts and all.
These studs are a fight going in, just like the originals were coming out.

When I installed my old Daystar lift (which is long gone now), I put the top plates in a vice and smacked the studs out and smacked the new ones in with a small sledge. I don't remember it causing me any trouble.
