Question Any Help With My RC Lift??? Need Better Instructions :/

Ok, so the rear was pretty self explanatory...but does anyone have instructions for installing a 3'' lift on a 1984 4runner? The instructions that came with it are horrible. I have the back on but the front has stuff in the bag that I don't even see where it would go...I searched the internet and this site and couldn't find a tutorial or anything on it. Anybody help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Those things at the bottom of the bag look like razor blades. You may have to give a sacrificial blood offering to finish the install. 1 pint should do the trick.

They always leave that part out of the instructions...

Is that all you have left for the front? Do you have leafs? Im stumped too. I see those parts in the kit on their site. Its nice how they have instructions to download for everything except your kit.

Yeah, I still have the front leafs and shocks to put on (i didn't take a pic of those) but those should be pretty easy to put on.

Looks like some axle shims.

Some sort of reolocation brackets (brake line maybe?) and possibly new shackle bolts?

The two long bolts and tubes are longer sway bar mounts. Probably some new nuts and washers for the same.

to small to be shackle bolts

the plates are axle shims
the rods are sway bar extensions
the l-brackets are brake line brackets
